I just joined my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the most comprehensive housing reform in 30 years.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will build more housing and stop private equity from buying up homes.
We can build a future where everyone can afford housing.
Remember when President Trump said his ballroom wasn’t going to cost taxpayers ten cents?

On Juneteenth, we celebrate those who refused back down in the fight for freedom in one of our nation's darkest chapters, and remind ourselves to keep building on the opportunities promised by the founding of this country.
Last month, Congressman Dave Min and I opened an investigation to determine if President Trump has been dishing out pay-for-play pardons.
Now, we’re directly requesting information from Trump Administration officials to help uncover the truth.
Mohsen Mahdawi is in America legally.
And yet he was arrested by the Trump Administration for peacefully advocating for Palestinians, something millions of Americans—including myself—have done.

Mohsen Mahdawi was asked on his final citizenship interview whether he would be willing to protect and defend the Constitution.
Within seconds of saying yes, ICE agents stormed in, arrested him, handcuffed his wrists and chained his feet, and threw him in a cell.
An update on my investigation with Congressman Min into President Trump’s pardons.

Because of President Trump’s war, farmers are spending at least $350 more per day on fuel for a full run of just one tractor.
Trump corruption of the day: his UFC cage fight at the White House.

This problem is only going to get worse as AI becomes more powerful and more widely used.
Congress needs to address AI and how it can be used to sway our elections. We should start with passing the NO FAKES Act.
Congress should be working to support programs like this one.
Young people need more opportunities. That should include pathways to trades like plumbers and electricians.

As President Trump signs the Republicans’ bill to give $70 billion to ICE and CBP without any commonsense reforms, I’m thinking of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.
They should still be here, and they deserve accountability.
Let me be abundantly clear: not only will I vote against Todd Blanche to be permanent Attorney General, he should resign from his acting role immediately.
This is what happens when you kill renewable energy projects and start a reckless war with Iran that drives up prices.
50 people have now died in ICE detention during Trump’s second term.
Experts have said many of these deaths are preventable and due to poor conditions.
Rather than work with Democrats to make real reforms, Senate Republicans pushed through another $70 billion to ICE.
Because of the energy crisis created by President Trump’s war with Iran, airlines have raised prices and cut services.
I’m demanding answers with Senator Duckworth and Senator Blumenthal on how travelers are going to be impacted as the war continues.
Since Republicans passed President Trump’s tax bill, 216 hospitals and clinics across America have cut services or closed.
Many of these were in rural areas and the only nearby options for residents.
We can’t leave rural America behind. Republicans must reverse these cuts.
Happy National Trails Day!
Vermont offers hundreds of miles of trails to take a break and reset in nature. Hiking and being in nature if part of our way of life in Vermont. I’ll keep working to protect them.
During his hearing this week, Secretary Bessent acknowledged that it's unacceptable that mega corporations avoided billions in taxes last year.
And yet, he and others in the Trump Administration are getting rid of policies that make sure they pay their fair share.
So is it unacceptable or not?
