A grand jury saw through this political stunt. Using the Justice Department to target political opponents is an abuse of power – full stop. We will not be intimidated because the American people deserve better.
Breaking news: A federal grand jury refused the Justice Department’s attempts to indict six Democratic lawmakers over their comments to military service members — the latest rebuke of the Trump administration’s push to prosecute the president’s foes.
Hostility toward consumer protection is mind-boggling. We’re talking about shielding people from fraud, junk fees, and financial abuse. Real people feel the consequences when we weaken these protections – and that’s who I’m fighting for.
Last night the House rejected an attempt to silence oversight of Trump’s tariffs. Congress has a constitutional duty to check the executive branch – especially when working families and small businesses are paying the price.
Wow. CBO estimates that U.S. consumers bear 95 PERCENT OF THE TRUMP TARIFFS. Basically, foreign firms bear 5% of them, U.S. companies bear 30% of them but other U.S. companies get to raise prices on consumers from less competition so that nets to zero. And consumers pay rest.
Lowest-ever ranking. Let that sink in. Strong democracies depend on transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. When those foundations erode, the world notices. Public service is a public trust and we have a lot of work to do to restore it. www.cnn.com/2026/02/10/b...
Donald Trump promised to “rapidly bring down costs.” Republicans in Congress said lowering prices was their top priority. More than a year into Trump’s second term and on thing is clear: they lied and you’re paying the price. abcnews.com/Business/tru...
I’m making good on my commitment to hold Secretary Noem accountable for her careless leadership that enables ICE to terrorize communities across the country, denies due process, and threatens civil liberties for immigrants and American citizens alike. Read my letter pressing Sec. Noem for answers:
Let me be clear, Ghislaine chose to protect dangerous and powerful predators instead of paving a path toward justice for survivors. Survivors, and the American public, deserve transparency and justice and we won’t stop until that’s achieved.
Yesterday, Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer critical questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s network before the House Oversight Committee, instead offering only to answer questions if promised clemency from the president.
Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to answer questions from the House Oversight Committee, but her attorney says she is “prepared to speak fully and honestly" if President Trump grants her clemency.
Democracy cannot survive by suppressing the vote. The SAVE Act would impose unnecessary barriers to voter registration and disenfranchise eligible citizens - namely women, seniors, low-income voters, and disabled voters. bipartisanpolicy.org/article/five...
I am proud to celebrate this bipartisan win alongside my colleagues Rep. French Hill, @repmaxinewaters.bsky.social, and Rep. Mike Flood. From housing reform to strengthening community investment, bipartisan solutions are what Americans want and deserve. Let’s keep pushing forward🤝
Yesterday’s passage of the Housing for the 21st Century Act marks a critical step forward – but make no mistake, the job is not finished. As we enter negotiations with the Senate and the President, I’ll continue to work with urgency.
Hardworking Americans deserve housing policies that actually meet the needs of today & tomorrow - not yesterday. I’m proud to support the Housing for the 21st Century Act because it provides real solutions, expanding access to safe, affordable housing.
