Tweet - "Senate Republicans snuck into their COVID proposal nearly $2B in taxpayer funds for a new FBI building whose location will increase the value of the Trump hotel. That's right. Senate GOP is rewarding President Trump and his family's business interests but not essential workers."

| July 28, 2020
