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 ⬇️

Speaker Johnson extended the DHS shutdown for over a MONTH for no reason at all. This is the same bill the Senate passed five weeks ago. An inexcusable failure by House Republicans. But it’s a very good thing the TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, & more will finally be funded.

On April 1st, Speaker Johnson vowed to fund DHS "in the coming days." Must have been an April Fools’ joke because INSTEAD, Johnson has extended the shutdown for FOUR WEEKS and counting. So if Speaker Johnson is looking for someone to blame for the shutdown, get him a mirror.

REMINDER: The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund DHS 31 days ago. We passed it unanimously AGAIN 25 days ago. But instead of ending the DHS shutdown and funding agencies like TSA & the Secret Service, Speaker Johnson has dragged his feet & failed to put it up for a vote.

Karoline is right. The defunding of DHS is a scandal. The Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund Secret Service & TSA, but MAGA House Republicans have held it up for a month to secure more money for mass deportations. If this Admin is serious about DHS, it needs to get its

"Make no mistake, this defunding of DHS should be a national scandal," @PressSec says at briefing after shooting outside WHCA dinner. "This is a national emergency, and every member of Congress needs to put their country over party and get the Department of Homeland Security

The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care. Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.

PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget? RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly RFK Jr: It's not my department

Endless money for bombs. No money for your health care. RFK, Jr. owes us answers.

Murray: "We should be sending money to our schools, not buying more missiles that Trump can fire on schools in Iran. We should be building bridges here in America, not destroying them in Iran. This budget would rob our families and burden our grandkids with mountains of new debt,

Trump's Budget Director Russ Vought just REFUSED to tell me how much of YOUR taxpayer dollars Trump has already spent on his war of choice with Iran. That's outrageous. It's literally his job to know, and the American people deserve answers!

Donald Trump might be happy to spend more money on bombs in the Middle East than on families here in America—but I am not. The only responsible thing to do with a budget this morally bankrupt is to toss it in the trash.

President Trump's new budget proposal asks Congress for $1.5 trillion in defense spending — a 42% increase — while cutting nondefense spending by $73 billion, or 10%. cbsn.ws/4m8CiAr

The Senate passed a bill to fund all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol. And we did it with the unanimous consent of ALL 100 SENATORS. Speaker Johnson refused to vote on this bill and chose to continue holding TSA hostage and to continue Trump's chaos.

We had a 100-0 bipartisan deal in the Senate and the House blew it up because the Republicans who run Congress apparently don’t talk to each other and prefer chaos.
