We will never forget September 11th, the heroism we saw and the people we lost. We will always honor them, and our gratitude for their courage and sacrifice will never fade.

I write amid a time of great hardship for federal employees and contractors to say thank you for your patriotism and your service, and to offer what hope I can during this abysmal period in our country’s modern history.
A new open letter:

Suicide by firearm is the deadliest form of gun violence in America. On National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day, we raise awareness about this crisis and the work being done to empower families and communities to protect their loved ones.
Together, we can save lives.

Netanyahu is so hellbent on sabotaging peace talks designed to stop the killing and free hostages that he is now literally blowing up negotiations.
The U.S. should not support what Israel is doing. Trump is either complicit in this strike and lying, or was played for a fool.
We told the Administration to rehire the critical disaster response and preparedness staff they fired. Instead, the Administration is listing jobs demanding fealty rather than skill expertise.
The weather doesn’t care about political parties. Just rehire the staff we need already.
Trump promised that the higher costs from his tariffs would come with a tradeoff in the form of a manufacturing boom, yet manufacturing has shrunk for 6 straight months.

I completed the Appalachian Trail, and I want to ensure that future generations can also hike this beloved fixture of the American outdoors.
Our legislation would help strengthen the trail and its partnerships so that it remains the crown jewel of hiking!
Today, I joined @markwarner.bsky.social to hear from air traffic controllers, pilots, the families of those lost in the January 29th crash, and others in aviation to discuss how we can best keep travelers safe.
Every time we board a plane, we must trust in the system built to protect us.
The billionaires raking in a massive windfall from Trump’s tax cuts are thrilled, but for everyone else this economy is getting scary.
Republicans could stop this at any time by working with Democrats to stop Trump’s destructive tariffs, but they refuse.

Trump promised the higher costs from his tariffs would lead to a manufacturing boom, but with his tariffs in place we are actually *losing* manufacturing jobs at an alarming pace in 2025.
This was the whole point of Trump's tariffs, and it's backfiring.
Over the past four months, the U.S. has averaged just 27,000 jobs added per month.
That's a sharp slowdown from the 186,000 jobs per month the economy added in 2024.
With all data in for June, the final revised jobs figure shows that the economy actually **lost** 13,000 jobs that month as President Trump’s tariffs took effect.
So much for Trump’s so-called “Golden Age,” the August jobs report confirms Trump’s policies are betraying American working families.
Inflation is heating up, prices and unemployment are both rising, and job growth is weakening sharply.
All thanks to Trump’s tariffs.
With all data in, BLS now reports the U.S. economy *lost* 13,000 jobs in the month of June as Trump’s tariffs took effect.
U.S. job growth since Trump announced tariffs has been extremely weak—
May: 19K
June: -13K
July: 79K
August: 22K
The monthly average in 2024 was 186,000.
I signed the Rep. Massie & @rokhanna.bsky.social discharge petition to force a binding vote - unlike Speaker Johnson's nonbinding resolutions - to require release of the Epstein files.
It's up to 205 signatures; it needs 218 to take effect. See who signed here: clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...
Under the GOP tax law, billionaires got the big tax cuts.
In fact, thanks to Republicans, many working families will actually see their taxes go up:

And Trump's tariffs are a huge tax hike on working Americans.
The "Tax On Working Families" plan.
RFK Jr. is a danger to millions of American children, mothers, and families. If he does not remove this kook before he fully unleashes his crackpot conspiracy theories on America’s vaccination efforts, Trump will be responsible for the preventable deaths that result.

These abuses of power cry out for transparency and accountability, and our bill would answer that need.
Every one of these officers should be wearing a body camera.

It's also true of ICE raids in Northern Virginia carried out by masked agents in unmarked vehicles who give no justification for their actions.
The Administration’s use of such draconian tactics is designed to stoke fear and intimidate law-abiding people who did nothing wrong.
