Trump’s Republican allies in the Senate BLOCKED my bill with @lisamurkowski to stop the Kennedy Center—or any presidential national memorial—from being demolished without an act of Congress. Just shameful.
I’m forcing a vote on the bill I’m leading with @lisamurkowski to stop demolition of any national memorial to honor a U.S. president (like the Kennedy Center, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial) without an act of Congress.
Every Senator should be a YES on this.
Republicans BLOCKED my bill to make sure YOUR tax dollars aren’t wasted on a monument to Trump’s ego.
I’m on the Senate floor forcing a vote on my bill to make sure no federal funds are used to build Trump’s Arch.
This monument to his own ego is a complete waste of money. Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill.
