This short-term funding bill blocks a corrupt policy that would allow Trump to hold even more federal grants hostage—and it closes House Republicans' loophole to pull funding for other agencies to give to Border Patrol. My full statement.⬇️

While families get hit with higher costs, President Trump just requested nearly $90 billion in supplemental funding for the Iran war, the Department of Defense, & more. Read Vice Chair Murray's statement ⬇️ www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...

Republicans have decided they would rather shut down DHS than work with us to rein in CBP & ICE. Republicans know full well that Democrats want to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and cyber security. I tried to pass a bill to do just that today—and Republicans blocked it!

This is mafia-style blackmail, plain and simple. These workers have nothing to do with the ongoing disputes that have brought us to the brink of a shutdown. It’s not only an attack on Americans’ services and benefits — it’s also likely illegal. We’ll be fighting back with all we’ve got.

White House to agencies: Prepare mass firing plans for a potential shutdown

In memo, the Trump administration says the Reduction-in-Force plans would go beyond standard shutdown furloughs.

Who is Trump trying to fire exactly? These geniuses have had to scramble to REHIRE thousands of workers ranging from nuclear scientists to food safety inspectors tracking bird flu. Intimidation tactics won't work. Behave like an adult—negotiate with Democrats.

This is intimidation. It does nothing to lower costs for working families and is an excuse to speedrun Project 2025. We can fund the government and lower health care costs. Why wouldn’t Republicans take that deal?

Republicans are saying, after trillions in tax cuts for billionaires, there's nothing left for our kids. Sorry! They’re feeding Big Bird to the fat cats. Maybe this isn't quite how Sesame Street would say it, but America knows that message is brought to you by the letters “B” and “S”

Maybe cutting PBS and getting our kids hooked on brainrot TV is part of the Republican plan. After all, if our kids watch PBS, they might learn to count! And if our kids learn to count, how will Republicans ever convince anyone that trillions of dollars in tax cuts are free?

I just voted NO to advance Trump's DOGE cuts to PBS, rural radio, and lifesaving aid. Republicans need to decide: Does Congress decide how to spend taxpayer dollars, or do they just take orders from Russ Vought?

I shared the story of Natalie, a mom from WA state with stage 4 colorectal cancer enrolled in an NIH clinical trial, but she was told her care was delayed because of RFK Jr.'s staffing cuts. He admitted NIH cuts, "are gonna hurt." It's unacceptable. I'm demanding accountability.

Kash Patel, the conspiracy theorist that Republicans made FBI Director, came to a Senate hearing on the budget—with NO budget, NO timeline, and NO clue. It's downright incompetent, and it's making America less safe. We need serious leadership at the FBI.

Trump's, DOGE's, and the GOP's cuts to medical research won't just stunt the search for cures for decades to come—they're taking away hope from Americans whose lives depend on that research. I spoke out at today's @senateapprops.bsky.social hearing because I know that need for hope too well.

THIS is what NIH funding means for real people, and why we can't lose it. I sat down with Emily & her daughter Charlie to discuss how NIH-funded clinical trials at Seattle Children's led to a cure for Charlie's cancer. This is why we have to speak up, this is who we're fighting for.
