Trump & Russ Vought proposed a rule to take every federal grant in America hostage. They don't care about making our tax dollars work better—they just want them to work for Trump. Well, Democrats BLOCKED their corrupt rule, and I'll be fighting to kill it permanently.

No affordable housing for you. But Trump gets a brand-new $5 million helipad. Not one nickel of your taxpayer dollars should go toward Trump’s vanity projects while working families can’t afford the basics.

Retired Sergeant First Class Thomas Koehler bravely served our nation in Iraq and Afghanistan, sustaining combat injuries during his time in uniform. He continued his service even after he retired by supporting our veterans in Southern Nevada.

New Mexico’s specialty crop farmers struggle every year with weather disasters, drought, and market uncertainty. That’s why I introduced the CHILE Act to bring federal support to the producers of our chile, pecans, and other specialty crops that make our state’s food so special.

Instead of meeting with Epstein survivors, what did Todd Blanche do? He rushed to Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison cell, and then she got transferred to a cushier prison camp. This is not justice. It is corruption of a system meant to protect the most vulnerable.

Face it. The Court is captured by right-wing billionaire interests, just the way railroad barons used to capture the railroad rate commissions, or mining barons the mine safety commissions. Look up “regulatory capture” or “agency capture.” thehill.com/opinion/judi...

Happy National Oyster Day! 🦪 The Chesapeake Bay gives Maryland so much, and oysters give back by helping keep its waters healthy. Proud to celebrate one of our state's greatest treasures and the people who work every day to protect it.

ICYMI: I pressed the Trump Administration last week on why it halted plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Instead of honoring her legacy, this Administration is wasting its time on the President’s ego projects like putting his face on a $250 bill. spectrumlocalnews.com/ga/georgia/p...

Last year’s Republican budget megabill is devastating rural Virginia. Twelve clinics and hospital services have closed since it passed all in rural communities that can least afford to lose care. This is what happens when your rural health care is gutted to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have completely botched this war. Yesterday, Trump said that Phase 1 is to open the Strait of Hormuz. His goal is now to fix the thing he broke. And the only thing the American people have to show for it is higher prices.

NEWS: After demanding that the FAA deny Boeing's waiver for a safety flaw on its 737 MAX 7 back in 2024, the FAA has now certified the aircraft with a fix for the issue. Safety should always come first, and this fix must be included on every Boeing MAX variant. No matter what.

Todd Blanche oversaw the disastrous rollout of the Epstein files and led a redaction process that focused more on protecting President Trump than delivering justice for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. The AG should defend victims, the American people, and the Constitution, not just one man.

Anyone else think it’s weird that Trump alleged massive election interference by the CCP… but never really followed that up with any action? It should be abundantly clear these claims of election fraud are just a pretext to justify interfering in the midterms.

We need to crack down on Medicaid fraud. I completely agree. But what Republicans didn't mention at today's hearing on this very topic is that Trump pardoned criminals that were convicted of MAJOR Medicaid fraud. WATCH ⬇️

It's immoral to strip people of their health coverage just because they can’t afford bail. Congress must pass the Equity in Pretrial Health Coverage Act to make it easier for people who’ve been detained to get the healthcare they need. Healthcare is a human right.

Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and one of the chief architects of the Epstein cover-up, Todd Blanche, to be Attorney General. They are the ultimate enablers of Donald Trump’s corruption. Americans will respond accordingly in November.
