We need to see the 'real version' of HHS' spend plan, and we need to see actual funding amounts—not asterisks—for these vital programs.

Demonstrated an inability to effectively and efficiently manage public resources.

Many agencies' plans still have yet to be submitted or blatantly omit basic funding details at your agency's direction.

You’re making medical decisions every day. You’re the secretary of HHS. You have tremendous power over health policy.

One has to take a look at what some of the proposals are that really are barriers to encouraging women to have more children.

If you want to encourage families to have children and be serious about it, then you would work to lower costs, build economic security for families.

A tax credit for married couples with children that increases the more children the couple has.

Gives Elon Musk and President Donald Trump even more flexibility to steal from the middle class, from seniors, from veterans, from working people, from small businesses and from farmers, all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

President Trump began breaking the law on day one of his term, and immediately pardoned hundreds of violent criminals upon taking office.

If this CR becomes law, Musk and President Trump will be able to fire thousands of employees at the Social Security Administration.

President Trump was elected because the American people wanted help with the cost of living.

I implore our colleagues in the Senate to stand up for the American people and our Constitution, reject this CR and put a freeze on this blank check.

Decisions about the investments we make cannot be entrusted in one single officeholder.

This CR takes away any remaining restraints and guardrails from the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle our government.

This is wrong, cruel and completely unnecessary.

The funding freeze must end, and these draconian cuts must be stopped.

I strongly oppose this full-year continuing resolution, which is a power grab for the White House and further allows unchecked billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump to steal from the American people.

It’s imminent. Let’s get the process started.

The first thing to do, in my view, is to make sure that there isn’t a full-year CR.

Let’s get the process started. We all want to make sure that money that is appropriated goes to where it’s been intended to go.

Let’s get the process started.

It's incredibly disappointing that Republican leadership is walking away from bipartisan negotiations to fund the government—and raising the risk of a shutdown in so doing.

Elon Musk wants a shutdown. Why? Because then it’s carte blanche — open parks, get rid of EPA, no research.

You’re in charge. And we’ve tried to negotiate.

We have made some suggestions, and they have them.
