Trump says he'd like to deport US citizens to El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get out of the country"

Had a good time meeting with veterans at the ribbon-cutting for the new North Battlefield VA outpatient clinic in Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District. This is a great day for the City of Chesapeake and veterans in South Hampton Roads.

There is nothing fiscally responsible about the Trump - Republican budget. It will increase the deficit by giving tax handouts to corporations and billionaires while cutting education, Medicaid and child nutrition programs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeXs...

Congress provided funds to address the threats of climate change when we enacted the Inflation Reduction Act. The Trump Administration's plan to terminate Hampton's grant to alleviate flooding in the Aberdeen Gardens neighborhood is both irresponsible & illegal. www.pilotonline.com/2025/04/08/e...

No one working 40 hours a week should live in poverty. That is why I introduced the Raise the Wage Act to gradually increase the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour by 2030. It's past time hardworking Americans got the pay they deserve!

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan said, “We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends – weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world – all while cynically waving the American flag.”

After economic experts had another day to listen to Trump explain his economic plan, the market set another record collapse. While this was going on, Trump played golf. apnews.com/article/dona...

As stock market continues plummeting over tariffs, Trump spends the day at his golf course
