“Are we not voting on it because the American people are sick and tired of this illegal war that is costing tens of billions of dollars?! Gas prices are through the roof! People can't afford their groceries! Is that why you're pulling it?! You guys don't have the guts or the balls to vote on this!
“Trump has turned the federal government into his personal protection racket.
“Trump is one step closer to creating a giant slush fund of taxpayer dollars for his MAGA buddies.
“An insane level of corruption — even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump's hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies.
“Trump suing the IRS was never about justice, it's another self-enrichment scheme on the backs of hard-working taxpayers. Now, with the court poised to weigh in only days from now, Trump is scrambling to cut a backroom deal and solidify his position as the judge, jury, and executioner.
“The Senate should not be aiding and abetting Donald Trump's illegal takeover of the Fed by installing his chosen sock puppet as chair. At this unprecedented moment in the Fed's history, he is uniquely unqualified to lead the agency.
“Are you kidding me? Who the hell is running this place?
“While American families are getting flattened by skyrocketing costs, Donald Trump is trying to snatch up billions of taxpayer dollars to line his own pockets and settle personal scores. My bill will close the loopholes that enable this apparent corruption and ban Trump — and all future Presidents and Vice Presidents — from abusing their power and stealing Americans' hard-earned money.
“I'm glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn't be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can't simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.
“25th Amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war.
“That's a recipe not just for a politicized military, but an authoritarian military.
“Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ became a cesspool of corruption. Good riddance. Bondi will be remembered for blocking the release of the Epstein files, weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump's political opponents, and handing out merger approvals as political favors.
“This military attack is illegal and unconstitutional. Trump's illegal actions raise the threat of escalation into a wider regional war with grave risks for U.S. troops and civilians in the region.
“Donald Trump's single-handedly starting another war with Iran is dangerous and illegal. 'America first' doesn't mean dragging the United States into another forever war built on lies while ignoring the needs of Americans here at home. The Constitution is clear: only Congress can declare war.
“This is an unjustified, illegal strike on Venezuela.
“Billionaires and giant corporations with business in front of this administration are lining up to dump millions into Trump's new ballroom — and Trump is showing them where to sign on the dotted line. Americans shouldn't have to wonder whether President Trump is building a ballroom to facilitate a pay-to-play scheme for political favors. My new bill will put an end to what looks like bribery in plain sight.
“A guy with a track record of being so drunk at work events that he needed to be carried out on multiple occasions. Can we really count on calling Hegseth at 2AM to make life and death national security decisions?
