Trump has made life more expensive for families across the country—but just how much more are YOU paying because of his inflation? See the full list of how much families in every state have been hurt: www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cach...

Almost everything Trump does is to serve his own ego, not the American people.

House Republicans could've funded TSA, the Secret Service, and the Coast Guard by letting us vote on legislation that TWICE passed the Senate unanimously. Instead, they chose to extend the shutdown. They can end this shutdown today by putting this bill up for a vote. They should.

Good news: the House has passed the Taxpayer Experience Improvement Act, which Rep. David Schweikert and I introduced earlier this year! Our bill would pave the way to modernize the IRS with better technology to improve service for the American people. Here's why that's sorely needed:

The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Gas prices keep soaring as Americans struggle to make ends meet. Trump’s reckless war in Iran must end immediately.

Generative AI can be incredibly dangerous. It enables the spread of deepfakes and vast misinformation across our country. @beyer.house.gov, Rep. James Moylan and I introduced the bipartisan Protecting Consumers from Deceptive AI Act to mandate clear labeling of AI-generated content.

Very thankful for law enforcement protecting the public tonight during the frightening incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Remembering all those who were killed in the Armenian genocide, which began on this date 111 years ago. It is important to recognize what happened, hold up the truth, and speak out against injustice. The past is still with us.

Historic: @abigailspanberger.com signed a law to guarantee working Virginians paid family and medical leave! A huge step forward by the Governor and General Assembly for affordability, for families, for businesses and workers, and a better and stronger Commonwealth. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Earth Day is a reminder of our responsibility to take care of our planet, and we have our work cut out for us! Donald Trump's attacks on our environment to protect the interests of his rich oil friends are many, but let me explain just 10 of them:

Republican leadership intended to vote to gut the Endangered Species Act today… and then didn't have the support needed, so they pulled the bill. Happy Earth Day! 🌍

I'm saddened to hear of David Scott's passing. My thoughts are with his wife Alfredia, his family, his staff, and his loved ones as they mourn his loss.

Families are feeling the pressure of high energy costs every day, while energy companies continue to rake in profits. That’s why @casten.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, and I reintroduced legislation to hold bad actors accountable for rigging markets and raising prices.

This is great news. I share the relief felt by many DC-area commuters and visitors to our nation’s capital. I urged NPS to immediately halt their proposed removal because this bike lane improves safety and reduces commute times. It’s good to see the court keep it in place.

NEWS: A federal judge has saved the 15th Street protected bike lane (for now), saying the decision to remove the lane running from Constitution Avenue to the Tidal Basin was "arbitrary and capricious and not the result of reasoned decision-making." It was to be removed this week.

Trump gutted the State Department’s Energy Bureau, firing the experts needed to handle the crisis he helped create by dragging our country into an illegal war. Gas now costs more than $4 a gallon. We're demanding they rehire the professionals who can fix this. Now.

TAPPER: When do you think it's realistic for Americans to expect that gas will go back below under $3 a gallon? CHRIS WRIGHT: I don't know. That could happen later this year. That might happen until next year. But prices have likely peaked.

Time and time again, Pete Hegseth has put petty vendettas and his extremist personal ideology ahead of the best interest of servicemembers or national security. In a sane world he never would have been confirmed, he should be out of a job.

What’s described here is the attempted desecration of America’s premier cultural institution, and a disturbing extension of this Administration's pay-to-play corruption. This demands real oversight, and I'm fighting in Congress to protect our beloved Kennedy Center.
