Republican leadership says they have been the most “productive” and “successful” Congress in decades - even though they just canceled Congress for 7 more weeks.
So what have they accomplished? Great question.

What we choose to fund is a statement of our values.
The Trump administration is prioritizing its war in Iran instead of prioritizing you.
That's enough to forgive student loan debt for nearly a million borrowers.
We could've built over 73,000 affordable housing units across the country.
There's so many other things we could've funded to improve your life , but the Trump administration started this reckless war.
Trump's war in Iran has cost Americans $38 billion.
With that money, we could've funded more than 3 years of Head Start.
We could've paid for almost 5 million people to get a two year degree at a community college.
Republicans kicked millions off their healthcare and food assistance programs with their One Big Beautiful Bill.
But another less talked about provision? Massive corporate tax breaks that AI and data center companies are eagerly taking advantage of.

Imagine if the president cared about making your life better with the same intensity and dedication he has for trolling and pettiness?
While today marks a year of devastating abuses, I will continue using every oversight and legislative tool available to force accountability at Camp East Montana.
Every person held there is entitled to safety (including medical care), dignity, and due process. And every community, including El Paso, is entitled to the truth about what is being done in our name.
Yesterday, I joined advocates to mark this anniversary because silence is not an option. The federal government does not lose its constitutional obligations at the gates of a detention center.
Witnesses have raised disturbing allegations of staff involvement, yet DHS continues to withhold basic transparency from Congress and the public.
One year since Camp East Montana opened, and there is nothing to celebrate.
DHS rushed this facility into operation in August 2025, and since then at least three detainees have died – including one homicide.
Thank you for amplifying this.
In 2024, I was proud to secure $550,000 in funding to help El Paso purchase dump trucks and a bulk-waste loader.
These vehicles will remove illegally dumped waste from rural areas and county roadways, protect our waterways, and support our community during flooding and other critical emergencies.
This news will help all of us focus on that path ahead instead of the greater challenges a massive detention facility would bring. I will continue to productively advocate for our community and what is in the best interests of all of us.
My team and I have worked diligently to elevate these issues within DHS and ICE and ensure that the voices of our community were heard. My priority is to work with Socorro leadership to support our shared constituents and their needs.
The community has also faced challenges with water, wastewater, and general infrastructure, making the purchase of these facilities for detention a terrible idea to begin with, threatening their ability to execute on their future plans and growth.
The community of Socorro has been working on an economic development vision and plan to grow their economy while embracing their rich history.
I’m pleased to announce that the Department of Homeland Security has transferred the Socorro warehouses to the General Services Administration (GSA). This means the warehouses will be put up for sale and they will no longer be used by the federal government for detention purposes.
As videos of bulldozers at Big Bend go viral, it’s a sad reminder that back in June, we put forth a proposal on the House Appropriations Committee that would ban a wall at Big Bend National Park.
Every Democrat supported this while every Republican - even those from Texas - voted against it.
