They spent $70 billion on ICE to do THIS instead of bringing down your health care costs! Johns Hopkins health researcher w/valid Visa ‘til 2029 & came to U.S. as Fulbright scholar, taken by ICE at airport, sent to 3 states’ detention centers, released

BREAKING: Mortgage rates jumped to the highest level in more than a YEAR thanks to Donald Trump's war with Iran. Trump doesn't care if you can afford to buy a home.

Our union workers are often the first to get wind of issues with the federal government in workplaces, so it was good to sit down and hear directly from them. Steelworkers are always welcome in my office (even if they are from Ohio).

This was a malicious prosecution from the start — totally shameful. These prosecutors should be held accountable for their actions. David Hearn’s story shows why we can never back down in the face of bullies.

Sonya Massey trusted law enforcement to keep her safe. Instead, she lost her life at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve—an all too common tragedy for Black Americans. May we honor Sonya’s legacy by advocating for justice, accountability and a safer future for all.

Trump has no plan, no strategy, and no endgame. His reckless war with Iran has driven up prices for working families and put our service members in danger. Enough is enough.

When I offered my amendment to kill this slush fund, Republicans said we should accept Trump's word that it was dead. We knew they were wrong. This is why. Even in the middle of an illegal war, with prices rising, Trump wants to send your tax dollars to criminals & save his sweetheart tax deal.

We need an audit of the Pentagon now more than ever.

How can the Administration justify asking for a $1.5 trillion defense budget when the Pentagon has never even passed a full audit?

Glad to join @hickenlooper.senate.gov and @neguse.house.gov in calling for local cooperation to protect these public lands and prevent harm to wildlife populations and habitats.

I'm leading the charge to urge the National Telecoms & Information Administration to work with state and local partners to protect wildlife habitat and irrigation access at the 1,700-acre Table Mountain Field Site north of Boulder.

Our Korean War veterans must never be forgotten. Their service helped preserve freedom for millions. Following National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, I was honored to join the Korean American Society of NH today to remember the sacrifice and valor of these brave veterans.

Trump's lawyers ADMITTED to STEALING money from blue states, just because they didn’t vote for him. I am demanding every last cent be restored. This isn’t Trump’s money. These are taxpayer dollars and I won’t let this kind of lawless corruption stand.

The American Red Cross has declared a blood crisis as donations hit a four-year low. Every blood donation can help save lives. If you're eligible, consider rolling up your sleeve and donating. It's one of the simplest ways to make a real difference for someone in need.

Trump thought you wouldn't notice this. The President is using the White House to enrich himself and his family at your expense. We see what is happening and we are going to hold him accountable.

Since JD Vance refused to meet with folks in Milwaukee to see how they run safe elections, I did. This administration’s obsession with 2020 is part of their effort to meddle and undermine the next election because Trump’s desperate to avoid accountability. I’m fighting back.

I joined @repbillfoster.bsky.social today for an oversight visit to a shelter housing unaccompanied children. Many of these children have already endured horrors that no child should face and they ought to be treated with dignity and have their case heard before an unbiased court system.

Today I visited the site of the Derry – Londonderry I-93 Exit 4A project, where I was briefed on the project's progress. The construction of Exit 4A has been a long-time priority for our state, and I was proud to help secure federal funding to support this key project.

The longer this war of choice drags on, the greater the cost to our national security and military readiness. Reports that months of fighting with Iran have left U.S. interceptor missile stockpiles dangerously low should be a wake-up call.

Too many Arizonans are struggling with rising housing costs. That’s why we passed our bipartisan housing legislation to lower costs and make owning a home easier. It’ll make a big difference, as we fight to lower costs across the board.

It's outrageous that this Administration is on the side of the rioters of January 6th, all while the President uses his power to shield himself and his family from being prosecuted for any future misconduct in front of the IRS. The President is trying to put himself above the law.

Meanwhile, this Administration has already funneled millions of taxpayer dollars into this war and is now asking for billions more. Enough is enough.

154 days into President Trump's reckless war of choice, the toll keeps rising. Colorado families have shouldered $1 billion in extra gas costs they cannot afford.

They don’t want people to see what a wreck they’ve made of the place. Empty, echoing, failed — a mob bust-out gone wrong.* *What do I mean by that? Usually gangsters tried to keep the place going for a while as they looted it. This was a botched job. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Last year, wide bipartisan majorities in Congress voted to expand IVF coverage for our servicemembers. But not this year. Apparently, we can afford the largest defense budget ever, but not a fraction of that to help our troops build their families. Outrageous.

BTW, you want litigation, do terrible claims payment. In the aftermath of disaster, do people want lawsuits, or quick fair claims payment? Fail at the latter, you get the former. Screwing customers more by denying access to lawyers is a lousy solution, except for insurers (donors).

After Hurricane Debby, the state-backed insurer zero-dollared more than 2/3 of Floridians’ claims. It’s their position that more than 2/3 of Floridians are fraudsters entitled to nothing? Or is Florida’s political elite covering for insurance and fossil fuel donors?

Florida officials say it’s not climate change but their own citizens’ massive fraud that’s driving the home insurance crisis. Nice, huh? Here’s how many Floridians get zero dollars after an insurance claim:

When Ralph de la Torre defied a Senate subpoena over Steward Health Care's collapse, the Senate unanimously voted to hold him in contempt. He sued to avoid answering to Congress—and lost. The DOJ must enforce the law and hold de la Torre accountable.

No. This is a bald faced lie. Trump cut the agency that protects cybersecurity by $700 million and still hasn’t nominated a permanent director for it. Trump is grossly incompetent. He is responsible.

We must drag every state official who manipulated their maps to silence Black voters before Congress, and we've got to investigate if any illegal racial discrimination took place. We deserve answers.
