Donald Trump and Russ Vought are illegally stripping away nearly $1 billion in funding for kids, K-12 students, small businesses, and families across America.
At a time when families are being squeezed by the rising costs of food, fuel, and other essentials, these cuts will only make life harder for New Mexicans.
Senate Democrats will fight back against these illegal cuts, defend Congress’ authority, and lower costs for families.
The Trump administration uses a rare and contested authority to claw back nearly $1 billion in spending approved by Congress. apnews.com/article/trump-res…

Senate Republicans had chance after chance to stop Trump’s illegal seizure of taxpayer money.
Time after time, they pledged allegiance to Trump instead of to citizens.
And he’ll keep rolling them if the Senate doesn’t change hands.
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.
Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers. OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.
This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.
Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people. theintercept.com/2026/09/23/…

⚠️ Tens of thousands of Texas voters are missing from the voter rolls after the state failed to process their voter registration applications properly.
But it doesn’t mean they won’t be able to vote in the midterms: demdock.com/46PkXFM

A pocket rescission is an illegal line item veto.
It is the president saying that he and he alone will convert a bipartisan spending bill (that has been signed into law) into a partisan spending bill.
He is canceling the lines of spending he doesn't like.
This violates the core separation of powers embedded in our constitution in which it is the Congress, not the president, who decides what programs are designed and at what level they are funded.
Republican colleagues said they would never let this happen. Well here it is.
They should ask themselves: "How would I like to have a Democratic president canceling out the Republican flavored programs he or she doesn't like in a bipartisan spending bill that has been signed into law?"
If they have any integrity or any spine, they will join us in ending this practice.

Remember how they tried to convince everyone that American businesses in Ukraine would be a concrete security guarantee?
Now no one even acknowledges Russian strikes on it, let alone calls on Russia to stop.
BREAKING:
Russian drones have struck a McDonald’s warehouse in Kyiv.
The attack against the American company was a double-tap strike.

RIGHT NOW: I’m calling on Gov. Abbott to clean up his mess after potentially hundreds of thousands of voter registration applications in Texas weren’t processed.
How does that even happen this close to an election? It’s unacceptable.
Texans did their part. The state screwed this up and now needs to FIX IT FAST to make sure no eligible voter loses their RIGHT to VOTE!

Bill Clinton: "Some days I can hardly believe what is happening in this country that I love so much. People in charge have created one set of rules for themselves and another set for everyone else. They've weaponized government to settle personal scores, prosecute enemies, stamp out free speech. They've even made the federal government a new profit centre for themselves and their allies."

My law firm just beat the Missouri GOP 9-0 in the Supreme Court. It was the third time we won and the GOP lost.
Cry more.😂
Every Supreme Court decision that follows the Constitution and benefits the American people is dangerous to Marc Elias.
