FIVE of my bills are now law as a part of the ROAD to housing package. After 30 years, we’re finally cutting red tape, increasing housing supply, and tackling America’s housing crisis.

No member of the Senate would vote for Todd Blanche after meeting with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. Todd Blanche has completely ignored them. His baloney excuses are denying justice for these victims.

Career pardon attorney Liz Oyer declined to recommend letting a convicted domestic abuser and friend of President Trump buy guns again. Todd Blanche fired her for it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VqlvuC0sqmA

Last night the Senate unanimously passed my resolution with Senator Lummis saying Sam Bankman-Fried should never get a pardon. He stole more than $8 billion from hardworking Americans and a jury convicted him unanimously. He's a criminal who deserves to stay locked up. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Honored to have been the Guest of Honor at last night’s @USMC Sunset Parade at the Marine Corps War Memorial. One of our sons commissioned there, so it was special to be back. It was a poignant reminder of the service and sacrifices of our Marines.

We're still paying for Trump's Iran War. Two-thirds of Americans are unable to afford groceries. All this under a President who promised to make life less expensive.

For years, private landlords have silenced military families about dangerous living conditions. The kicker? The DoD has signed off every time. Military families have a right to safe housing. I’ve got a bill to make sure landlords are held accountable - let's get this done.

Todd Blanche talks a lot, but he doesn't really say much. Good thing he doesn't have to. Because actions speak louder than words, and since day one, his actions have proved he's unfit to be Attorney General.

We should make it easier, not harder for Americans to build their financial futures. But Vought’s CFPB has made changes that only make it more complex. He’s testifying today in front of the Senate Banking Committee. I have some questions for him.

Trump is proudly selling off our public lands to the highest bidder. Never forget he promised Big Oil everything if they just contributed to his campaign. But we shouldn't just accept this sell-off. Keep speaking up. We can protect America the beautiful.

President Trump has made billions since stepping foot in the Oval Office last January—a staggering windfall emblematic of dictators like Vladimir Putin. While you struggle to afford groceries, the President is focused on adding much more to his fortune. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/w...

The Department of Justice tried to criminally indict me over a 90-second video. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche played a central role in that. This is not the standard we should have for a cabinet-level official.

Sending my best to my dear friend and his family in the wake of this diagnosis. In the face of every adversity, Captain Sully has always thought of others first—and this time is no different. I admire his courage and advocacy for all impacted by Alzheimer's Disease.

Within an HOUR after being legally appointed by the federal judges as Western WA's top prosecutor, Trump fired Roger Rogoff. Not because he isn’t qualified (he is), but because the President wants a sock puppet who puts Trump above the rule of law. It’s a disgrace.

We have an Attorney General in New Mexico who's serious about actually having an investigation and seeking justice for Epstein's survivors. This is a path to actually being able to hold people accountable.

President Trump sues the federal government for billions of dollars. Then he appoints his former personal attorney to be acting Attorney General, the person in charge of negotiating his settlement with the government. That is corruption. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/52cK3FMcmWM

Just last week, the Trump admin halted the project to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Now, they're all too happy to stroke Trump's ego & put his face on a coin. Our currency should honor the best of America, not those who've done everything to destroy its founding promise. We will fight this.

🚨🚨PSA🚨🚨 Todd Blanche, Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Justice, confirms he's an anti-abortion extremist by committing to carry out Republicans' fever dream of a nationwide ban on medication abortion. I'll be voting NO. Spread the word. Speak out. Fight back.

Chaco Canyon is a living, cultural landscape and the Trump administration's proposal to fully revoke the 10-mile mineral withdrawal is out of touch and immoral. They've opened a 14-day comment period. Please leave a comment to protect Chaco.

There is a fundamental rejection by President Trump to make even the most basic reforms for roving bands of ICE and federal law enforcement in our cities. You can't convince the American public that everything's great when they've seen with their own eyes people murdered in cold blood.

The Trump administration wants to illegally rewrite the rules so that billionaires can line their pockets while jacking up costs and controlling Americans' TVs. This looks like another attempt to roll out the red carpet for more antitrust disasters.

Today, House Republicans are falling over themselves to pass bills to officially "abolish" the Department of Education and destroy public education in America. Nobody wants this. So let me be crystal clear: under NO circumstances will I let these bills pass the Senate.

Our elections are too important to mess with. But tomorrow, Trump is going to try and create a pretext for massive interference. Buckle up. Follow the facts. Don’t let him stoke hysterics about an election that was audited, investigated, and fair.
