Late last night, I held the Senate floor for an hour,
John, as part
of a 30 hour effort (the maximum under Senate rules) to slow down the
nomination of Russell Vought.

We need to take every action we can to try and stop the nominations of
these terrible candidates and make the case against them with the American
people. That’s why it was so important to protest Russell Vought’s
nomination for director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) — the
government office that helps the President manage the federal budget and
the Executive Branch — yes, that one.

Just last week, OMB was responsible for freezing all federal funding and
loans. Something that Russ Vought defended and helped dream up under
Project 2025.

And while daytime has now come, the chaos Donald Trump and Elon Musk have
unleashed is still unfolding.

A mother in the Central Valley is waking up, still unsure how she’ll get
medical care for her child now that a federal grant for her community’s
only health center is in limbo.

A federal career employee is facing another day of uncertainty, wondering
how they’ll make rent if they’re laid off.

Around the world, people are grappling with the reality that U.S.
humanitarian aid — often their very last lifeline — has disappeared.

If my constituents are awake at night, fearing Donald Trump and Elon
Musk’s next actions, then I damn sure will be taking every action to fight
back – no matter what time it is.

Donald Trump is trying to obliterate all checks and balances, and
Republicans seem content to let him do it. He’s filling his Cabinet with
enablers who will let him subvert the rule of law, including Russ Vought,
who wrote the Project 2025 agenda Trump is now enacting.

They are engineering chaos. Not as a byproduct, but as a deliberate
strategy.

By overwhelming us with a storm of unconstitutional executive orders,
illegal data seizures, and purges of government officials, they hope to
paralyze us into inaction and dismantle the checks and balances that
protect democracy.

The goal? Consolidate power in the hands of Donald Trump and his
billionaire allies so they can plunder the resources of this country for
themselves. And they will succeed — unless we do everything possible to
stop them.

Speaker Mike Johnson will help Trump seize control of government spending
— congressional authority be damned — if it will help advance the
right-wing agenda of dismantling the government.

With the current composition of the Supreme Court and Justices like
Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito beholden to the same mega-donors set to
profit from Trump’s tax cuts — checks and balances be damned — they will
look the other way.

Our institutions are under siege. But we have a choice: Let Trump and his
enablers raid the Treasury for their own enrichment — or fight back.

That’s my fight in the Senate. That’s why I held the Senate Floor late
last night.

I will not let Donald Trump raid the till of the American people without
exposing, at every turn, who is robbing the bank. I will not let Trump
fill federal agencies with unqualified, dangerous extremists without
making clear the threats they pose and doing everything to stop them.

If we do nothing, if we let Trump install Russ Vought to dismantle
government from the inside, then we are complicit in the destruction that
follows.
