Americans are being forced to choose between life-saving medicine and everyday necessities, all while Trump requests $200 billion more for his war. Remember, extending the ACA tax credits for more than 20 million Americans would have cost LESS THAN HALF of that. This is Donald Trump’s America.

As we have all week, Democrats will continue to hold the floor to block the Republican voter suppression SAVE Act. And as I’ve said all week: We will not let this bill pass under any circumstances, no matter how long it takes.

Last night we gave Republicans another chance to limit Trump’s unauthorized war in Iran. Once again, Republicans opposed our war powers resolution. Where is their courage? Where is their loyalty to the constitution? Where are the public hearings with Secretary Rubio and Hegseth under oath? This issue isn’t going away. Republicans can try to wash their hands of Donald Trump's war with Iran, but they will not escape responsibility.

You guessed it. Republicans objected a fifth time to paying TSA workers.

Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer

In a few minutes Democrats will be giving Republicans a FIFTH chance to pay TSA workers. Will they finally fund TSA or once again object?

In four weeks, gas prices have surged by 27%—The second-largest jump in 35 years... ...and Donald Trump doesn't care:

Trump on Iran: "I wanted to put out that fire and I said, 'You know, if I do that, oil prices will go up. The economy will go down a little bit.' I thought it would be worse, much worse actually. ... It's not that bad"

For $200 billion we could lower health care premiums for tens of millions of Americans. For $200 billion, we could educate a generation and unleash the immense potential of our students. For $200 billion, we could cut hunger in this country in half. For $200 billion, we could invest in jobs, in science, in manufacturing, and we could begin fixing our power grid.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Exclusive: The Pentagon asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran, according to an administration official, a new ask that will likely run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict. wapo.st/4bt8UQk

If Trump wants $200 billion, it means he believes we will be at war for a very, very long time. That’s the last thing Americans want.

It was an honor to host the leadership of the West Bloomfield, Michigan Temple Israel in my office this week. Their bravery, courage, resolve, and determination to ensure the security of the Jewish community in the face of last week’s terror attack is truly inspirational. We must continue to root out the scourge of antisemitism wherever it appears – there’s no better example of that than the fearless leaders of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.

I will not be supporting Senator Mullin’s nomination to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security. The problems at DHS, especially at ICE and CBP, run far deeper than just who is in charge. Americans need a change in DHS POLICY. We demand legislation to rein in ICE and end the violence.

Trump started a war in the Middle East, but now he is trying to dodge the cost and leave the American people with the bill, and there are no signs this war is going to end anytime soon. Secretary Rubio and Secretary Hegseth need to testify publicly under oath. The American people deserve answers. They deserve accountability.

If Republicans want to waste time on pushing a voter suppression bill, Democrats are ready. We will hold the line. @SenateDems will debate the SAVE Act for as long as Republicans want and show the American people how radical this bill is.

HAPPENING NOW: Senate Democrats will try AGAIN to pay our TSA workers amidst the Republican DHS shutdown. Democrats will try to pass by unanimous consent – for the FOURTH time – a funding bill for TSA. Republicans have a simple choice: will they pay our critical workers and reduce wait times for flyers, or will they continue to block this funding?

Republicans could focus on so many issues Americans actually care about—like the price of groceries and gas. Instead, they have chosen to focus on voter suppression. Democrats will fight Republican’s SAVE Act until the end.

BREAKING: DYLAN CONTRERAS IS COMING HOME! He will soon be back in NY, reunited with his mother Raiza, his family, and the Bronx community that loves him. I sat with Raiza as she cried in my office the night of the State of the Union and told her I would do everything in my power to help bring her son home, and I am thrilled they will be together once again. There are so many families like Dylan’s that have been torn apart by the Trump administration – this chaos at the hands of ICE must end now.

We asked Raiza, Dylan’s mom, what she would say to Trump after ICE arrested her son for no reason. This was her response:

House Republicans: “Working people don’t pay enough taxes.” Truly the most out of touch people on the planet.

Acyn@Acyn

Foxx: One of our colleagues just talked about the fact that wealthy people pay small percentages of their income on taxes. But what he didn't say is they pay over 50% of all the taxes paid in this country, and that working class people don't pay nearly as much as they do.

Donald Trump promised to cut the price of energy in half in his first year. The opposite has happened. Donald Trump has systematically destroyed investments in energy production, favored big oil over working families and raised costs on households by killing new energy projects. And the American people are paying the price.

Senate Democrats will NOT allow the SAVE Act to pass through the Senate, no matter how long it takes. That’s because the SAVE Act: 1. Purges millions of Americans from voter rolls 2. Kills online, mail, and motor voter registration. 3. Rejects commons IDs to register to vote. 4. Forces Americans to register in person. 5. Penalizes married women who changed their last names.
