The question before us now is how did any of this make us safer? How is America better off? How did Congressional Republicans allow this unhinged, warmonger President to drag us into this mess in the first place? I intend to demand accountability.

I'm proud to have helped secure over a million dollars in federal funds for Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena alongside Rep. Laura Friedman. These investments will be crucial to replace aging water infrastructure ahead of the 2028 Olympics. pasadenanow.com/main/rose-bo...

Where Congress should be a check on Trump’s every abuse of power—this Republican Congress is shamefully absent, even when he threatens to wipe out an entire country. My message to every American: you are voting in the fall. Your voice and your vote matter. You are not powerless.

The ceasefire agreement Donald Trump brokered to end his war with Iran should be reducing violence. Instead, Israel's escalated bombing undermined peace and killed hundreds of innocent civilians in Lebanon. The U.S. needs to do everything we can to stop this civilian slaughter.

Trump's immigration crackdown is sidelining skilled healthcare professionals we desperately need. Cruelty over compassion hurts us all.

Gas prices are soaring and Nevadans are experiencing some of the highest gas prices in the nation. Hardworking Nevada families were already struggling to get by because of climbing grocery and health care costs. The Trump Admin is unfocused, and they're not making life more affordable for you.

If you weren't thinking about the Strait of Hormuz and skyrocketing gas prices before Trump started his war, it appears nobody at the Treasury Department was either. That's according to a top Treasury official who was asked by my staff.

The White House, an iconic symbol of America, is the last place you’d expect foreign steel. Trump’s corrupt desecration knows no bounds. Without Congress approving, it’s blatantly illegal. I’ll continue investigating the problematic donations.

And now these birds of a feather confront a hostile wind against them, as Hungary’s voters react to Orban’s corrupt governance and its impact on their lives.
- AS
Donald Trump and JD Vance see Orban as a model to be emulated: a wannabe dictator, eager to erode the rule of law and consolidate power over the courts, the media, and every aspect of public life. 🧵

We're tackling housing from every angle. First: use up to $50k from retirement savings for a down payment, penalty free. Second: updated loan limits so more housing can actually get built.

Trump wants to claim victory in his war with Iran but he's only made a bigger mess. 13 US troops and thousands of Iranian civilians have been killed. Gas has spiked to $4 a gallon. We need diplomacy to end this war now.

A handful of traders are getting rich quick on insider information. It’s gross that while working Americans are being weighed down by the cost of Trump’s war, others are embracing open corruption.

Artemis II is the next step to getting us back to the surface of the moon — and then building a permanent U.S. presence and an economy, just like we did in low-Earth orbit with the ISS. It’s a huge step for our country and humankind.

Every time I think that this administration can’t get any more hostile to public lands, they outdo themselves. Now they want to shut down regional offices for the U.S. Forest Service and reorganize how we fight fires – just as we’re heading into fire season.

Yesterday, Israeli strikes across Lebanon killed 250+ people even as Pakistan said the ceasefire it brokered includes Lebanon. Netanyahu urged Trump to start this war, now Trump must demand he help end it. Who's calling the shots here?

Trump’s actions have already cost us tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, left our international credibility in shreds, and left thirteen servicemembers dead with hundreds more wounded. America is poorer, weaker, and less respected thanks to Trump’s war of choice.

Yesterday, I joined local partners to celebrate a new project in Floyd to extend public utilities to an undeveloped area, which will be used for affordable workforce housing. I’m glad to have helped secure $1.5 million in funding to help make this project possible.

When it comes to housing, we can't just focus on one piece of the puzzle. We need housing at every level. For the person trying to buy their first home, for someone looking for an apartment, for families using a Section 8 voucher. All of it.

There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.” The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.

Democrats know that Medicaid is one of the clearest ways we live out the belief that health care should not depend on how much money you have. So why did Republicans gut Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy?

The United States is $39 trillion in debt. Yet President Trump plans the largest increase in defense spending since the Korean War, adding another $6.9 trillion over the next 10 years, including funding for his dubious war with Iran.
