Happy 319th Birthday, Benjamin Franklin! 🎂
This week, we hosted a birthday party to honor the founding father, after whom I named a bill so we can finally bring a statue of him to the U.S. Capitol.

I am honored to be appointed to House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by House Leadership for a second-consecutive term. My work on intelligence and our national security has been a focus of mine since joining Congress, and I look forward to continuing this work in the 119th Congress.
It is our responsibility to prioritize the quality of their lives so our service members know they can count on us to protect them while they protect our nation.

I'm honored to be named Ranking Member of the Military Personnel Subcommittee on HASC. Our work focuses on the very heart of the U.S. military — the people who raise their hands to serve and the families who support them.
Grateful for word of this significant breakthrough. The gradual ceasefire and hostage releases are both most welcome news, with thanks to President Joe Biden, Secretary Blinken, and our global partners in negotiating this agreement.

Our communities and this Commonwealth do not need, nor will we be helped by, distant politicians in Washington, D.C., dropping a one-size-fits-all blanket ban on sports participation.
Indeed, in more than a dozen states, trans athletes are lawfully able to participate in sports. Additionally, similar bans to today’s bill have been vetoed by Republican and Democratic governors in Wisconsin, Ohio, and North Carolina recently.
I want every student-athlete to be safe and to be able to participate in competitive sports, but state legislatures, local school districts, and sports associations already make the rules governing who can and cannot participate in different sports at different levels.
I voted NO on H.R. 28 — Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The bill was written as a blanket federal ban on all transgender girls in all school sports at every age and every level of competition.
Here's why ⬇️
I encourage my Senate colleagues — many of whom have served themselves — to critically evaluate his candidacy and ask the incoming administration to nominate a qualified candidate.
Mr. Hegseth is disqualified. He is unqualified. He cannot do this job.
Americans should question and be aware of not only Mr. Hegseth’s disqualifying issues but the ways in which Republicans are seemingly being strong-armed to confirm him.
Now, perhaps because some are worried about Trump on social media or are the targets of orchestrated campaigns funded by think tanks, the majority of our Senators apparently are seriously considering confirming Hegseth.
Before the Trump Administration, Senators behaved independently of the Executive Branch and took seriously and judiciously each nominee’s record — their achievements and abilities, their experience, and their true beliefs about America and her role in the world.
As the military has been struggling to recruit people to serve, young women are an increasingly growing and vital pool, especially as young men are struggling to meet military eligibility requirements. His presence in this position will be chilling to readiness and recruiting.
Finally, and not least, Mr. Hegseth would previously never have been nominated to any Cabinet position, let alone be considered to run a global military force with more than 20% female soldiers.
Mr. Hegseth’s sexual behavior and serial infidelity would have automatically disqualified him because he is vulnerable to coercion.
Mr. Hegseth's alcohol problems would have also automatically disqualified him because he cannot be counted on to be sober when we need him — to deploy American troops, to combat emerging and established threats, and to make dire, timely decisions to represent this country.
We also know that before the Trump administration:
Mr. Hegseth’s well-documented mismanagement of the two very small nonprofit companies he ran would have automatically disqualified him from running the Defense Department — with its $800 billion budget and 3+ million employees.
I and many others in the House and the Senate served in our nation’s military before joining Congress. We know that the vast majority of people who choose to serve in uniform are immensely qualified, serious, and dignified. We know how critical the role of the Defense Secretary is.
