That's why I'm working on real steps to bring energy costs down, and I'll keep pushing for solutions that put working families first.

Families already stretched thin are about to feel it again in the price of food, deliveries, and just about everything else.
Whether you drive a big rig or a minivan, we all want the same thing, prices we can afford and leaders who take our cost of living seriously.
Trucking costs are up about 14% since January, and economists expect those costs to keep showing up at the checkout line for months.
Diesel just hit a record average nationwide.
It can be easy to miss, but diesel moves almost everything we buy. The trucks that stock our grocery stores, the equipment that powers our farms, even the tankers that deliver gasoline to your neighborhood station.
I'll keep fighting to restore these funds and close this loophole for good. Congress writes the budget, and it's time more of my Republican colleagues stood up and said so.

I sit on the House Appropriations Committee. Under the Constitution, Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent. Republicans and Democrats negotiated these bills in good faith.
If a president can erase any spending law by running out the clock, the power of the purse means nothing.
The White House sits on money for months, then sends Congress a cancellation request so late in the fiscal year that the funds simply expire on September 30.
Last year they used the same move to wipe out $4.9 billion.
Last night, with no vote and no debate, Trump canceled nearly $1 billion that Congress passed and he had previously signed into law.
The trick is called a "pocket rescission."
Russ Vought is Donald Trump's budget director and the most dangerous person you've never heard of.
He helped write Project 2025, and he has spent years arguing that a president should be free to ignore spending laws he doesn't like.
Now he's doing exactly that.
That leaves the part only you control.
Election Day is November 3. Confirm your registration is current, make a plan to vote, and help a friend do the same.

Today's order pauses that ruling while the case continues.
Our Constitution gives states the lead role in running elections, and using SAVE is each state's choice. Federal law also bars most states from systematic purges in the last 90 days before an election.
A federal judge blocked the expanded database in June, ruling it broke federal privacy laws and warning it could lead to eligible voters being wrongly removed.
Today the Supreme Court allowed the use of a revamped Homeland Security database called SAVE to check the citizenship of people on their voter rolls.
As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I believe this ad crosses a clear line, and federal employees who helped produce it may have run afoul of the Hatch Act as well.
An actual PSA teaches people something useful.
This shameless ad’s only purpose is to make Trump look good, just weeks before an election.

This week the Trump administration ran a 30-second campaign spot on Fox News and Newsmax, labeled "Paid for by the U.S. Government."
This kind of propaganda using taxpayer dollars is unacceptable and very likely illegal.
Contractors behind the Lincoln reflecting pool mess have admitted in writing they were responsible.
Trump owes the former Olympian he tried to prosecute an apology. Congress should get every document related to this debacle.
This November, you can help put an end to it.
Daily reminder that Trump and Republican leadership are spending billions of your tax dollars on military operations against Iran that Congress never authorized,

Yesterday, when I heard Donald Trump address the UN and say "to the victor goes the spoils," I thought about my grandfather who served in World War II.
Conquest for plunder was the logic of the adversaries the Greatest Generation defeated.
