Those are the ways in which we KNOW this law has been abused. The takeaway here is that NO ONE’S personal information or communications are safe.

The Trump administration has more than tripled the number of warrantless searches of political and religious figures and journalists. There were 227 of these searches in 2024. There were 839 in 2025.

The NSA and FBI have been spying on you without a warrant using section 702 of FISA for decades. Trump wants Congress to renew the law. Here are concrete examples of how this law has been abused – across administrations – and why Congress shouldn't rubber-stamp it.

It is simple: Trump got us into another forever war and cut taxes for billionaires and his cronies. Democrats are focused on lowering prices for American families. Voters know it.

When people stand up and use their voice to protect the right to abortion, they win. Glad the people of Idaho are working to stop Republican politicians from controlling women and to protect the right to essential reproductive health care.

Gas prices in New Mexico are up 35% since the start of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. That’s nearly $4 a gallon. Hardworking families did not ask for this war, and they certainly did not vote for fuel prices to skyrocket.

I've gotten more information from Ikea instructions than USDA has put out on its planned U.S. Forest Service reorganization. That's a problem.

In the middle of the night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE billions to continue the President’s mass deportation campaign. When families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, & more, Senate Republicans proved they care more about President Trump’s wishes than the needs of Americans.

This Earth Week, I introduced 6 bills to respond to the climate crisis by supporting public health, advancing environmental justice, and promoting education and advocacy. I'm grateful to my House partners for protecting and empowering Americans most at risk from climate change.

My resolution with Senator Kevin Cramer designating April 22 as National Assistive Technology Awareness Day cleared the Senate. I’m proud to recognize the important role that assistive tech plays in millions of lives, helping people connect with their communities and live independently.

Americans are asking their government for relief from the cost-of-living emergency driven by this president’s unwanted war, tariffs, and health care cuts. Senate Republicans made their priorities clear. (1/2)
- JR
Who can afford to stay open when their expenses increase like that? Small business owners need relief.
- JR
Small businesses are the driving force of our economy, and they have been struggling under Donald Trump's chaotic policies. Because of his tariffs, small-business importers are being forced to cough up an extra $25,000 a month on average.

As I told Treasury Secretary Wright yesterday, Trump’s war with Iran has already driven up costs for Americans. It’s hitting oil and gas, fertilizer, helium, farming, manufacturing, and food prices. We need to wrap this war up, but you’ll still be paying for it for a long time to come.

This is a shocking low. If they get away with this, what's stopping them from revoking citizenship from anyone they don't like? What's stopping them from doing it to you? This White House spiraling out of control as Trump's approval rating plunges further and further.

The last time Secretary Lutnick appeared before the Senate, I pressed him on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. On Feb 27th, @merkley.senate.gov & I sent him a letter asking him for certain records and to answer questions. He did not respond. The American people deserve transparency.

When massive media corporations merge, it means that just a few wealthy executives get to decide what you watch, how you get your news, and what you pay. This deal isn't finalized. The DOJ must continue a full investigation into this merger for any antitrust violations.

The Federal Censorship Commission is abusing its power again. This time, Carr is waging Trump’s culture war by targeting programming that includes trans and nonbinary people. This censorship campaign is un-American and unacceptable. Trans rights are human rights.

Eric Trump went on FOX to brag about winning ANOTHER multimillion-dollar contract from the Trump administration. I've been sounding the alarm and pushing for answers. Is the Pentagon just a cash machine for Trump’s kids now? This looks like corruption in plain sight.

Americans are fed up with Republican leadership that would rather deport hardworking families than help them afford the basics.

Senate Republicans could work with Dems to lower costs & make our economy work better for working families. Instead, they’re pushing a huge $140 billion giveaway to ICE & Border Patrol w/ no accountability or oversight.

Americans have paid $16 BILLION more at the pump since Trump began his illegal war with Iran. And that doesn't include the BILLIONS in U.S. tax dollars spent EVERY DAY on the war. Americans voted for lower costs, not a war projected to cost our country $1 trillion.

Access to quality and affordable primary care is critical. But workforce shortages create barriers in accessing that care. That’s why I’m introducing a bill to help address the underlying causes of health workforce shortages by investing in training future primary care providers.

Every Republican who voted YES to another $70 billion ICE slush fund at 3 AM last night said NO to child care. Republicans said NO to health care. NO to helping working Americans in any way at all. I'll be making sure everyone knows it.
