Repeated deadly incidents have made clear this is not a training failure. It is a systemic failure.
ICE is beyond reform. It’s time for Congress to replace it with and immigration enforcement system that reflects our values and the rule of law.

Today the Senate is set to take its first votes on the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act. With 84 cosponsors it's expected to move fast and pass.
Unfortunately, it's a bad bill that is unlikely to achieve its stated goals.
The bill has 3 major flaws, if you read closely- 🧵
The Trump administration has failed to justify its reckless war in Iran, and now it's changing how casualties are reported because they don't want the public to see the human cost of this war.
Enough. The American people deserve the truth – and an end to this war.

@rephuffman.bsky.social, I, and 70 House Democrats are demanding NPS clear its backlog of 1,400 grant approvals, which has delayed more than $360 million for projects that keep our parks safe and accessible during peak visitation and wildfire season.

America’s history is complex, inspiring, painful, and unfinished.
The Smithsonian exists to educate and preserve that history honestly, not to conform to any administration's preferred narrative.
The Trump administration repeatedly blocked my oversight of USAID, USIP, and ICE facilities because it didn't want Congress doing its job.
I introduced legislation to guarantee Congress can perform its constitutional oversight duties without obstruction or delay:

It is past time for our nation to fundamentally reevaluate its security relationship with the state of Israel.
I voted to cut assistance to Israel to send a message to the Israeli government that it cannot take U.S. security assistance for granted any longer.
Very sad to hear that civil rights leader and Arlington icon Dr. Alfred Taylor has passed. He was a tireless advocate for Green Valley and was a beacon of hope in our community, and we will miss him. Sending my thoughts and condolences to his family and loved ones.
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth seem to have no idea what the plan is to end the war with Iran, which has already killed at least 18 American service members and thousands of Iranians.
No one else should have to die for this to end, effective diplomacy is the only way forward.
Donald Trump campaigned on the promise to lower your prices on day one, and Republicans promised to help him.
A year and a half later, he couldn’t be farther from that promise, while Republicans continue to betray their duty to stand up for the American people.
Other energy costs have risen under Trump as well. Families in northern Virginia paid $1750 more for electricity in 2025 than they did in 2024.
And in just the first six months of 2026, they are expected to spend an estimated $181 more than they did in the first half of 2024.
And then there’s the consequence of Trump’s illegal and stupid war with Iran: people in my district have spent $129 million more on gas since the beginning of the war.
Broken down, that comes out to an average $439 spent on gas per family.
Thanks to cuts from the Big Ugly Bill and Republican’s refusal to extend ACA tax credits, monthly health insurance premiums for ACA plans rose an average of over 50%.
At the same time, deductibles surged, increasing by more than $1,000 on average.
In Trump’s first year in office, Americans paid $310 more on groceries than they did in 2024.
When looking at the cost of beef, families were hit especially hard. The average price of ground beef has risen almost every month to a record high of more than $7 per pound.
Northern Virginian families have spent almost $650 more on housing costs such as rent and mortgage payments.
As we continue to tackle our national affordable housing issue, it would be nice to have the President working for the people and not against them.
According to a new @jecdems.bsky.social report, in the 18 months Donald Trump has been president, his policies have cost Virginian families at least $2,900 on average.
Everyday essentials across the board have gotten more expensive, and families are struggling to keep up.
I support banning stock trading by elected leaders, but Republicans’ “Stop Insider Trading Act” is a weak, watered down bill that doesn’t even stop Congress from selling stock.
It gives a green light to Trump’s corrupt stock deals, while banning voting by mail.
I’m voting NO.

(1/2) For weeks, I’ve worked with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, @reppaultonko.bsky.social, @beyer.house.gov & @eleanornorton.bsky.social on a bipartisan bill to improve air quality in federal buildings.
Last week’s dangerous smoke from Canadian wildfires made the need even more urgent.

House Democrats stand with Dreamers.
The American Dream and Promise Act would create more pathways to citizenship.
We introduced a discharge petition to bring this bill to the floor. Let's get this done.
Dreamers, TPS holders, and DED recipients have built lives here, strengthened our communities, and contributed to our economy. They deserve protection – not this administration's cruelty.
That's why I'm proud to sign the discharge petition to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act.
