Attacking citizens and spreading fear in our communities is not “public safety.”

Glad to tour the Spotsy Career & Technical Center and meet with students and staff to learn how students are learning the skills needed for high-demand careers. I've been proud to pass legislation to expand access to job training and will keep working to support CTE as an education committee member.

Kristi Noem is telling ICE agents they can forcibly enter your home without a judicial warrant. That is unconstitutional. History will judge us if we do not stand up to the lawlessness and cruelty of this administration.

Joined farmers in Fort Morgan to discuss how Trump’s tariffs and reckless trade wars affect their ability to make a living and continue feeding our communities. Farmers are the ultimate risk takers and entrepreneurs. They should be provided more certainty, not doubt for the future.

Their legacy lives on in every mission we fly and every astronaut who follows in their footsteps. We remember them today and honor their sacrifice by continuing the work they believed in.

They accepted extraordinary risk not for recognition, but because the work mattered — because pushing the boundaries of human achievement mattered.

NASA's Day of Remembrance honors the brave astronauts who gave their lives in service to space exploration and the pursuit of knowledge. The crews of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia believed in something larger than themselves.

As a father, this is absolutely heartbreaking. As an American, I am outraged and find this administration cruel and lacking accountability

Trump turns tariffs on and off like a toddler with a light switch. Seattle dockworkers are on the frontlines facing the very real consequences of Trump’s reckless and unpredictable trade policies.

We want to declassify the full breadth of the 9/11 documents because we lost almost 3000 Americans. It kicked off wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We owe it to those lost and to the American people to release the entirety of these files.

Today should be the 53rd anniversary of the right to abortion in America. Instead, Donald Trump's Supreme Court justices overturned Roe v. Wade, and reproductive rights are under attack across the country. We're fighting back.

I warned in a report that DOGE was putting Americans’ most sensitive data at risk. Now, news reports show that DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group. They broke the law AND endangered your privacy.

Trump promised to bring down costs on Day 1 and then turned around and called affordability a "hoax." He gave himself an “A+++++” while working class Americans suffer from his price hikes. He isn’t fooling anyone:

As Ranking Member of the subcommittee that oversees FEMA, I'm demanding that Sec. Noem stop the staffing cuts at FEMA immediately. Mass cuts to the FEMA workforce are reckless; they put our communities' lives and safety at risk. You deserve better.

The Trump administration’s scheme to control Venezuelan oil isn’t just imperialist overreach. It will deliver millions of dollars to Big Oil. The American people deserve to know: who in the White House is going to profit? www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/p...

Today in Culpeper, I spoke with health care providers and community members to discuss federal cuts to the ACA and Medicaid and ways to grow the health care workforce. I’ll keep working to support providers and ensure families can access the care they need.

ICE is out of control. Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, rather than focusing on targeted immigration enforcement, ICE agents are demanding random people on the street “show their papers.” She must resign.

The conclusion is unmistakable: Veterans are paying the price for this Admin’s self-inflicted sabotage, while dedicated VA employees are demoralized & exhausted by the incompetence & hostility of their leadership. 5

The resulting harm to the quality & timeliness of care & benefits will be felt for years. This growing damage helps explain why the Trump Admin has refused to provide Congress with even the most basic information about their policies’ impact on veterans. 3/

The Trump Administration is detaining children as part of their cruel immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota. They are traumatizing children and tearing apart families all for political theatre.

Jamie Dimon and @postopinions.bsky.social should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing this—and it's the big banks who want to keep it that way. If you want to get on board to let states cap credit card rates and lower costs, I’m ready to pass the bill.

Trump, Musk and DOGE didn’t just steal your Social Security data while they were stripping the Social Security Agency for parts—they tried to give that data to far-right groups to cheat on future elections. The Judiciary Committee must hold hearings into this gross perversion of our government.

Where is our humanity? Where have our shared values of gone? How can we justify using a little boy in a bunny hat and Spider Man backpack as bait? You may have voted for the President under the guise that he was only going after thugs and criminals. He lied to you.

This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here. Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

Trump has no right to invade Greenland. Military adventurism doesn't lower costs or strengthen our national security. These thoughtless and impulsive moves only work to stroke Trump's out-of-control obsession with power and ruin decade-long relationships with our allies.

With the cost of groceries, energy, health care, and child care all rising, the last thing Wisconsinites needed was their housing costs to rise too. Families need some relief, but this president just isn’t focused on providing it.

In 2022, the Trump-appointed Supreme Court made history for all the wrong reasons—stripping away a constitutional right for the first time in generations. Colorado stood up in 2024 to safeguard reproductive freedom in our state constitution.

This is disgusting. Social media companies must be held accountable for these AI-generated images — which largely target women and children. Americans shouldn’t have to fear fake, sexualized images produced by bullies and pedophiles.

Yet another tired re-run of Russ Vought's corrupt playbook. He's threatening blue states in a naked act of political retribution. No one should be intimidated. Vought and Trump can kick rocks. This will not stand.

The Constitution and the law are clear: ICE must allow anyone they detain access to legal counsel. But that is not happening—including for at least one detained U.S. citizen. ICE must comply with the law and allow access to attorneys. This is not optional.

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs, but has spent his first year firing up trade wars that make all of our costs go way, way up.
