If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability. $70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs. What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.

Instead of going to war with Iran, we could cover health care for millions of Americans. And still have $20 billion left over.


Senator Warren: How much would it cost to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits for just one year?

Witness: About $30 billion.

Senator Warren: The Trump administration says this war [with Iran] will cost $50 billion. That means we could help all the people pushed off their health care and still have an additional $20 billion left over.

Chris Murphy: “They have NO plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz — a totally foreseeable result of a military action against Iran— It’s getting worse, not better as Iran is now mining the Strait — if the Strait is closed for weeks or months more, that’s a global economic catastrophe”

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

Cost estimate of the House-passed "Big Beautiful Bill" is out It'd be the largest cut to Medicaid+CHIP and SNAP in history while still increasing deficits by $2.4 trillion due to $3.8 trillion in tax cuts This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history
snap cuts, growing to 35% by 2034chip and medicaid cuts growing to 12-14% by 2034
