House Republican leadership chose instead to extend the DHS shutdown.
But it's not too late to do the right thing. Speaker Johnson can still bring the Senate-passed bill to the floor, reopen the law-abiding entities of DHS, and ensure that public servants are paid. He should.
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.
ICE shouldn't be given additional funding to support operations carried out by masked agents breaking into cars and homes without judicial warrants.
House Republicans can still bring the Senate-passed bill to the floor, fund the law-abiding parts of DHS, and pay our public servants. They should.
Instead, House Republican leaders chose to put forward a bill that funds ICE without any agreement to rein in the lawless abuse that has terrorized communities and led to the deaths of two Americans.
I voted NO.
House Republicans could have brought the Senate-passed bill to the floor to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS. The shutdown could have ended today and our TSA agents, Coast Guard members, and FEMA employees would get paid.
- No masks.
- No unidentified agents.
- No entries without judicial warrants.
- Full cooperation with independent investigations, including the investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
We won't give ICE and CBP a blank check to continue terrorizing American communities.
If Speaker Johnson wants to fund the entirety of DHS, we need firm commitments that will rein in the lawlessness in ICE and CBP.
Speaker Johnson must bring this bill up for a vote on the House floor.
We can end this chaos today.
After 43 days of using our public servants as pawns, Trump finally agreed to pay our TSA agents – something he could’ve done all along.
Overnight, Senate Republicans finally joined Democrats to pass a clean bill to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS, including TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.

Congress can reopen TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard right now.
But House Republicans are refusing because they want more money for ICE.
They will always choose chaos, terror, and Donald Trump over the American people.
Real people have paid the price of this war.
We’ve already lost 13 Americans killed in action, with many more seriously wounded.
Civilians have been killed throughout the Middle East, including the U.S. missile strike that killed more than 150 schoolchildren.

Beyond despicable. Donald Trump is now “a little bored” with his "little excursion" in Iran, as if war is nothing more than passing amusement to him.
War is not a game. It's not a spectacle. It's not something you pick up and drop when it stops entertaining you.

I joined @newdems.bsky.social to host a discussion with small businesses owners, who shared how badly they've been hurt by Trump's tariffs.
Tariffs continue to drive up costs, and those who joined us shed light on the real challenges Americans are facing.
Unlike big corporations, most small businesses can’t bribe the president with gold bars, ornate plaques, or massive donations, and can’t afford to hire MAGA lobbyists.
While big companies get exemptions, small businesses are left to absorb the full impact of Trump’s tariffs.
This can have adverse real-world impacts when models are used for health-related AI inferences, loan granting, federal grant approval, housing approval, or law enforcement.
Our bill would fix that by establishing transparency requirements for how models are built, trained, and deployed.
AI foundation models are often described as a ‘black box’ because they fail to give consumers the tools to understand why a model gives a particular response, despite the possibility of inaccurate, imprecise, or biased responses due to limitations/biases in the model’s training or training data.
NEW: I've introduced the bipartisan AI Foundation Model Transparency Act with Rep. Mike Lawler and @sarajacobs.house.gov.
Farmers are struggling with fertilizer costs that could drive up grocery prices, USPS is considering surcharges on package deliveries, and airlines are preparing to increase fares.
But Trump thinks none of this is that bad. He’s either wildly out of touch or just lying.
