My constituents are clear, and so am I: no DHS funding without a restoration to the rule of law.

Let me tell you why it's critical that funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project does not end on Friday.

Kristi Noem's cruel mismanagement of DHS facilities is putting people's lives in danger. There are CHILDREN in this facility. If there are any Republicans who care about basic oversight, we need serious investigations into the conditions of DHS detention centers EVERYWHERE.

ICE used to have five months of training, but they've shortened it now to 47 days. The number 47 was picked because President Trump is the 47th president.

67 years ago today, Lance Newman, Michael Jones, Ronald Deskins, and Gloria Thompson made history in Arlington as the first students to desegregate a Virginia public school. Their courage forged a path for future integration across the Commonwealth.

Trump continues to prioritize his vanity projects while his untrained officers terrorize our cities and people struggle to afford groceries and housing.

Trump is trying to seize control of our elections because he knows he is going to lose. These are maneuvers of an authoritarian desperate to cling on to power. But we will not be dissuaded. We will not be intimidated. We will stand up for our democracy.

Bad news for anyone who watches the NFL: The Trump administration just approved a massive consolidation of sports streaming. It's a big mistake that will mean higher costs, and fewer choices to watch games.

It should be crystal clear to anyone with eyes and ears that Trump is DETERMINED to subvert free and fair elections in America. But in America, state and local governments run elections. So Trump can kick rocks. Still, ALL of Congress must be VIGILANT.

Big businesses are buying their way out of Trump’s tariff taxes. Meanwhile, small businesses are left holding the bag. My Small Business RELIEF Act would end the pain on Main Street and return billions back to our communities.

Scary situation in Nashua today. I’m grateful for the first responders who are risking their lives to keep Granite Staters safe, and I’m praying for the injured fire fighters and all those in the area. If you live in the area make sure to shut off burners and extinguish open flames.

Dr. Oz’s demonization of the Armenian American community is a terrible slander. I am demanding an independent review of his clearly discriminatory motive in pushing these smears against the Armenian community.

ICE leadership has informed their agents that they have expanded powers to arrest people without a warrant. It's another attack by President Trump and Secretary Noem on the foundations of our democracy.

Last year, the Trump Admin put out a list of so-called "sanctuary cities." For Virginia, it had a county that doesn't exist and erroneously listed a town of 73 people as one. What a joke. If Americans don't like their local leaders' policies, they can vote them out. youtube.com/shorts/_SOqL...

Americans from all walks of life agree that the status quo cannot continue. What's happening in Minneapolis and other cities around the country is not law and order, it's thuggery. We will keep working to rein in ICE’s abuses.

I just met with President Trump’s pick to lead ATF. This job could play a key role in tackling our gun violence epidemic, but the Trump Administration is signaling over and over again it wants to weaken ATF. That can’t happen.

The SAVE Act is nothing more than Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Every single Senate Democrat will vote against any bill that contains it. Speaker Johnson should tell SAVE Act Republicans to stand down or else this shutdown will be on them.

Will any elected Republican call this out and stand up to these continued attacks on our democracy? This is how our democracy dies.

Just before Trump took office, a senior UAE official secretly bought a $500 million stake in Trump's crypto venture – channeling millions to Trump family accounts. Later, the White House approved the sale of America's most advanced AI chips to the UAE, despite serious national security concerns.

Trump is pushing for Republicans to “take over the voting in at least 15 places.” An authoritarian takeover of our electoral process—all because Trump’s ego can’t handle the fact that he lost in 2020—has no place in our democracy.

Ask yourself this: What would have happened if Trump had ICE in its current form at his beck and call in 2020? Is there any doubt he would have used it to seize voting machines? Intimidate voters? Storm the Capitol?

Mind you—that's 5,300 references to Trump in the Epstein files THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. And most of the released files have been poorly redacted, often with no rhyme or reason. Trump promised to release the files, so release them—ALL of them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Americans are frustrated about high prices, and this Administration is only making things worse. You can’t claim to fight for families while backing tariffs that raise prices or rolling back protections for consumers. The only people Trump is fighting for are billionaires.

This is incredibly concerning. The President and a weaponized Justice Department keep pushing the Big Lie. He lost the 2020 election—clearly. Relitigating his loss threatens public trust in elections and endangers local election staff.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
