[1/2] Great discussion with Dr. Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer, President of the German Marshall Fund—a critical organization supporting transatlantic relations and understanding. We need a strong Europe and a strong US, not torn apart by mean tweets, disrespectful attacks, and support for extremists.

[2/2] Trump denied TSA workers about $1 billion in missed paychecks—resulting in nearly 500 agents quitting and many receiving eviction and repossession notices, difficulty feeding their families, and an inability to afford health care.
[1/2] Trump now claims he has had authority to pay TSA all along. If so, why wait six weeks? Unless he preferred chaos and burdening workers and passengers—holding them hostage to block a legislative halt to ICE abuses.
GOP House Speaker Johnson has called the bipartisan bill to pay TSA officers now “a joke!” The only joke here, and it is a very bad one, are extremist Republicans who refuse to provide relief to TSA officers and air passengers by paying them now, and resolving our disagreements over ICE abuse later.
[2/2] ...refuses to let us vote on the Senate-approved bill because he does not have approval from extremists in his Caucus. With the Senate now in recess, GOP intransigence may continue chaos at our airports much longer.
[1/2] Why can’t Congress get anything done? Today, the answer once again is loud and clear. Even after weeks of pain for TSA officers and passengers waiting in interminable lines, House GOP refuse to act. A clear majority of House members is ready to pay TSA immediately, but Speaker Johnson...
[2/2] Why cause such pain for so long? Apparently, just seeking leverage to maintain brutal ICE policies. Tuesday, I joined SiriusXM, about Trump’s deployment of untrained ICE & National Guard, who have no role in airports. Last year, Trump fired TSA workers, this year he held their pay hostage.
[1/2] What are Republicans waiting on? TSA agents have suffered so much and nearly 500 have quit. Passengers are still caught in massive lines. The Senate finally approved our proposal to pay TSA, but the House GOP is still stalling!
Congressional Republicans cannot even open a door without Trump’s approval. Trump refuses to pay hard-pressed TSA workers unless separate legislation is attached to disenfranchise millions of voters in November. Until he relents, this crisis will worsen. Tune in to my segment with Sirius XM for more
[2/2] ...“You know, it’s like, hey, they do it and we do it, in all fairness.” Wrong! Nothing equivalent between America helping Ukraine resist aggression and Putin helping Iran. Our troops should not be fair game for Russia—a leading state sponsor of terrorism Trump prefers to reward.
[1/2] Trump has nary a word of criticism for war criminal Putin, even as he shares intelligence with Tehran to target and kill American servicemembers. Trump concedes that Moscow might be helping Iran “a bit,” but believes Putin deserves a pass because the U.S. has assisted Ukraine: ...
[2/2] By lifting oil sanctions on both Russia and Iran—Trump is already delivering his pal an estimated $1 billion a day to fuel the war machine. Putin is the big winner from the reckless war in Iran. It’s all upside for Vladimir.
[1/2] Now as Putin shares intelligence and ships drones to the Iranians to target American troops, Trump is apparently diverting missiles designated for defending Ukrainian civilians to continue his endless war in Iran.
[2/2] Republicans refuse to hold a single public hearing on any aspect of this war and the bill will only grow as we are in week 4 of Trump’s supposed 4-5 week war. No end in sight as taxpayers face the prospect of another $2 trillion war in the Middle East and more lost lives.
[1/2] Republicans love to talk about the debt, but all they do is spike it. Today they are holding a secret meeting with Trump regime on how to force through the first installment on financing his reckless war –borrowing another $200 billion.
All in the family—more inside deals than any presidential family in American history. Trump's son-in-law may be better described as "profiteer" than "peace envoy."
[2/2] After a day like this, I’m not thinking about next year, I’m thinking about tomorrow and the next day, and each week in which I can join with others in the continued struggle to save our democracy and see that a little fairness peeks through all of the ongoing wrongdoing.
[1/2] I’m often asked to describe a typical day in Congress. Well, there really isn’t a typical day. While not all are as crowded as today, many parts of each day usually are. So fortunate that Central Texans have given me the opportunity to deal with such a broad range of important issues.
Hegseth’s dangerous incompetence continues to be on display as he uses his Christian nationalism to justify the Trump's war of choice in Iran.
Our founders insisted on the separation of church and state to prevent religion from becoming a tool of politics rather than a matter of spiritual faith.
