The Guardian | Senate Democrats to fight Republicans’ $1bn funding plan for Trump’s ballroom by Chris Stein in Washington
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed to block Republicans’ $1 billion allocation for security upgrades to the White House ballroom that President Trump plans to build, labeling the spending as a perk for Trump while working families bear the cost. The money is bundled in a broader $70 billion immigration‑enforcement funding bill that would keep ICE and Customs‑Border Protection operational through 2029 via the reconciliation process, allowing Republicans to bypass a Senate filibuster. Schumer announced Democrats will counter the bill with amendments, challenge its reconciliation compliance, and force a series of votes to expose Republican support for “Trump’s gaudy ballroom” versus policies that help American families. The dispute unfolds as the Senate judiciary committee prepares to consider the proposal, with Democrats positioning the fight as a test of Republican self‑destruction and a key issue ahead of the midterm elections.

Besides the benefit of getting rid of the 70- and 80-somethings, it has the bigger advantage of providing an incentive for parties to nominate younger people. If your party's members in Congress/Commons or the Senate are significantly older than the other party's, then you know yours are going to get picked off automatically over time, costing you votes and possibly your majority when in power.
No more Chuck "We wrote a strongly worded letter" Grassleys or Dianne "What state do I represent? When does my pudding get here" Feinsteins clogging up the party arteries and refusing to even look at younger party members' progressive ideas.
A modest proposal.

Senator Chuck Grassley, 92 and the longest-serving Republican in Congress, struggled to answer a simple question at a press conference about Judge Boasberg’s impeachment amid hearing issues. Despite planning a 2028 re-election, he now admits to hearing problems, highlighting his age and long tenure. As president pro tempore of the Senate, he’s second in line for the presidency. His difficulty raises concerns about stamina and clarity as he continues to hold influential roles. Will his health affect his future in Congress?

PERA Remains A Serious Threat To Efforts Against Bad Patents

#Republican Sen #ChuckGrassley is guiding #PamBondi & is essentially testifying on her behalf in his “questioning” of her.
They are making a huge deal of so called operation “#ArcticFrost” - this was cell phone activity data retrieval from around the #Jan6 #insurrection including the phones of members of #Congress. The subpoena was discussed at the time as a wide net it didn’t specify Congress members but said all cells is the area, so, duh. The retrieval did not include message or call content. -
"Schumer told reporters Thursday afternoon that Trump should fire Vought over his comments, adding, “He wants to destroy the way the Congress works.”"
"the way the Congress works”
#CongressionalDemocrats *really* need to take a deep, cleansing breath and get over this ludicrous 1990s-era "Comity with our Colleagues Across the Aisle" schtick
They've been played for fools for well over a decade, to the point where the #Republicans just spit in #Democrats' faces as the #GOP ignores them completely
“Sir, this lacks decency,” ...his voice raised & visibly agitated... “It lacks decorum. It shows that you do not want to simply hear from your colleagues. This is absolutely wrong!”
I'm sure #ChuckGrassley was quaking in his boots at #CoryBooker's harsh rebuke

A #Senate cmte voted on Thurs to advance the nomination of #EmilBove III, the #DOJ enforcer who oversaw dozens of firings & the dismissal of bribery charges against Mayor #EricAdams of NYC, to a lifetime post as a federal #judge.
#Republicans on the Senate #Judiciary Cmte unanimously approved the nomination after #Democrats stormed out in protest when the panel’s chairman, Senator #ChuckGrassley, called the roll before every Democrat on the committee had a chance to air their objections.

Late Thurs, Sen. #ChuckGrassley (R-Iowa), the chair of the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, released the panel’s proposed text for the #GOP’s so-called #BigBeautifulBill. The House passed its version of the bill last month, so now the Senate is making its changes. Each cmte is tasked with putting together language for its relevant section in the #legislation.

#Durbin …has also forged close relationships w/some #Republicans, including Sen #ChuckGrassley of Iowa, who has been chairman of the #Judiciary Cmte in periods when Durbin was the top #Democrat.
The two pushed a #criminal #justice overhaul that overcame Republican resistance to be signed into #law by #Trump during his first term, leading to the early release of thousands of prisoners who had their sentences recalculated.

Chuck Grassley had a hard time in a town hall, people were shouting “ do your job “ and were complaining about innocent people sent to the concentration camp in El Salvador without due process, that is how they have to be treated. https://youtu.be/Mcy-xxwUFkk?si=p-zfzAtxeOOEuPX1

Oh Grassley... You could have had a better answer here. The answer is, "I will vote for Articles of Impeachment when the House brings them to the Senate." Even Republican Iowegians know tyranny when they see it. #chuckgrassley #iowa #senate #impeach #citizenimpeachment

“There’s no due process.”
“Are you gonna bring that guy back from El Salvador?”
Just a few of the things a passionate Republican crowd of Senator Chuck Grassley’s constituents let him hear about at his town hall in Lee County, Iowa today

#Republican U.S. Senator #ChuckGrassley introduced a bill on Thurs that would require congressional approval for new #tariffs, the day after #Trump unveiled sweeping new #taxes on a vast array of imported goods.
Only problem, Trump doesn’t care if something needs the approval of #Congress.

“When a president claims the inherent power of both legislation and enforcement, he becomes a virtual government unto himself. He is not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system; he becomes the very danger that the Constitution was designed to avoid.” #GOPHypocrisy- #Republican Sen. #ChuckGrassley in 2014 about President #Obama protecting #Dreamers.

I'VE BEEN MENTIONING A LOT LATELY how late in #Obama's second term, #Republicans were screaming that #ExecutiveOrders were "#Unconstitutional" b/c they "circumvented Congress".
Here's a little BLAST FROM THE PAST: #GOP Senator #ChuckGrassley claiming Obama's (ab)use of EO's was "unconstitutional."
"President Obama’s Abuse of Executive Action and Mass Amnesty" #GOPHypocrisy #Jan6

The chairman of the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, #ChuckGrassley of Iowa, began #KashPatel’s hearing by defending Patel from critics who have called him unqualified. Grassley also accused fmr #FBI director #ChrisWray of mismanaging the agency. The FBI is “in crisis,” & “infected by political decision-making,” the #Republican lawmaker said in his opening remarks.
