Donald Trump has another, hidden agenda for his tariffs: helping Big Tech companies. Trump's using tariffs to threaten other countries and force them to change laws that regulate Big Tech. So yes – you could be paying more from tariffs so that Trump can help Amazon and Meta.

In May, I told Rubio that locking up students for exercising their free speech rights was outrageous & unlawful. He scoffed. Now, a judge has said he & others engaged in an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to take away those rights. We must defend our freedoms at every turn.

Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

I spoke at a Congressional hearing in St. Paul this morning about the chaos and fear ICE is creating in our state. Instead of de-escalating, the administration is doubling down—putting public safety at risk and making it harder for local law enforcement to do their jobs.

I'm glad U.S. religious institutions, including my Parish in VA, will not lose foreign-born religious workers who are vital parts of our communities, thanks to a DHS regulation change. Now Congress must pass my bipartisan bill to further streamline the process for these workers.

United's CEO is the highest paid CEO in the industry, while their flight attendants are paid the least – by far. That's not right. No CEO should make 1,173 TIMES what a first year flight attendant makes. I'm standing with @afacwa.org. They deserve a fair contract now.

One year ago, Trump fired 17 Inspectors General—independent watchdogs who serve across Administrations of both parties. Since then, he's been tapping his own political allies to conduct oversight of his own Administration. That's a clear conflict of interest that has to stop.

I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery. You shouldn't be paying the energy costs for big data centers. The way to be CERTAIN of that is to pass my Power for the People Act, to make corporations pay their own bills. If he's serious, Trump should help us get it done!

This is absolutely horrific. Immigration detention is at a crisis point under this Admin. I will be demanding information from DHS on Mr. Campos’ death as well as a lack of detention oversight. The Admin’s current detention scheme is dangerous and will result in more deaths.
