""Their political castration is complete," Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) told Axios. "They're sending Trump $1 billion to build a gilded room for their balls.""
""The economy in NV is tanking, gas prices are going through the roof ... and Republicans are throwing down $1 Billion for Trump's ballroom," said Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.)."
""If we had a different [president] we wouldn't need the security measures that they're proposing," fumed Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.). "In fact, if he just stayed in the White House, we wouldn't need the security measures.""
Senate Judiciary Committee chair Chuck Grassley proposed an $82 billion reconciliation package, including $1 billion for the Secret Service to secure Trump's ballroom. Democrats criticize this allocation, arguing funds should address pressing issues like healthcare and housing. Lawmakers express frustration over prioritizing Trump's security over constituents' needs, especially as economic conditions worsen. The bill can pass without Democratic support due to budget reconciliation, allowing Republicans to bypass the filibuster with a simple majority in the House.
