Instead of lowering Americans' costs and funding Agencies like the Secret Service, on amendment after amendment and vote after vote, Democrats held Republicans accountable in last week's vote-arama for trying to give ICE and Border Patrol up to $140 billion but zero dollars—zero—to lower Americans' costs.
of-pocket healthcare costs and reducing childcare costs and stopping insurance company delays and protecting school meals. Republicans said no over and over again simply to take $140 billion and put it into ICE and Border Patrol.
Can you believe it?
Can you believe it, America?
tying this Senate in knots—all to cut Trump's rogue Agencies a blank check, with no significant reform—reform that the American people want.
they have got another thing coming. Democrats will make sure Republicans face more votes on affordability when reconciliation comes back up in a few weeks because it is so important to the American people. We will continue to expose Republicans' economic agenda for what it is: an utter disaster for working Americans. It is no wonder Trump's numbers are lower than they have ever been. He is not addressing what the American people want, and Republicans in the House and Senate just follow him blindly. The GOP has completely lost sight of the needs of the American people right now.
Trump wants to seclude himself in a walled palace—literally. His party is now trying to use their reconciliation process to pave the way for Donald Trump's gilded ballroom. If Republicans truly want to improve security, they should join Democrats in funding the Secret Service, not Donald Trump's luxury ballroom. Americans want us to help them put food on their tables and gas in their tanks, not to help Donald Trump put more gold on his walls.
