The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails. Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.

I just wrote a letter to DOGE! Privacy Act Access Request. Yes, I want to know exactly what information of mine you’ve accessed. Go to Jamie Raskin’s website to get the template letter.

People need to be calling their senators and making sure they vote against cloture. Republicans need 60 votes to end it and proceed to voting on the CR. Democrats have the power to stop this. If they vote for cloture though… It's really just meaningless political theater after that.

sad but true. i hope the hushed voices from Arlington Cemetery haunt them all in their dreams. when America needed republicans to stand up, do their job, and follow their oaths of office, they did none of it.

So DOGE is slashing funding for programs the help Americans like health, education, infrastructure, social security because of $$ but has $10B to deport people? I’d rather keep the immigrants and put the $10B to education and social services.

Get loud people! Most of congress and senate have 24 / 7 voice mail. Call any rep to express your approval or Disapproval of policy. call on Saturday, or after dinner The capital is open 25 / 7 / 365 Make the call. You can be anonymous Action gives hope and power

That "funding bill" also hands over the purse from Congress - their only power - to "the Executive" and gives him the ability to "sequester" funds from any and all Federal departments without approval from any person or body - it's a blank check and Congress wouldn't need to exist anymore.
