Washington

“

Today, the Supreme Court's conservative majority overturned a 91-year-old precedent and once again delivers for President Trump. Congress created independent agencies to shield critical decisions from short-term partisan whims and to ensure bipartisan and well-reasoned decision making. By gutting these protections, the Supreme Court is throwing the door open for politics – not the public interest – to be the guiding star for future decisions. Congress must take action to preserve the ability for agencies to deliver expert, fact-based results for the American people.

Washington's ballot return deadline means that the thousands of voters whose ballots are postmarked on time but received after Election Day still have their voices heard.

People are beginning to finally listen to the American people who don't support the war in Iran, and I think there's a growing number of Republicans who see how devastating the war has been for our country.

I'll be pushing to get this done as the Senate drafts funding bills this summer.

It is an outrage that the American taxpayers are having to pay for this and that we have a president who is exercising such open corruption in front of everyone and expecting us to go along with it.

Four unelected judges decided to cast aside the will of the voters. This is a setback that sends a terrible message to Americans – the powerful and elite will do everything they can to silence you.

Speaker Johnson extended the DHS shutdown for over a month for no reason at all. This is the same bill the Senate unanimously passed five weeks ago.

“

After the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, people across the country demanded ICE be reined in. But instead of working with Democrats to enact real reform, Republicans rejected the most basic accountability measures, and now they're rushing to give ICE billions of dollars more.

“

I have been clear since the start of the appropriations process: I will not vote to give Trump's ICE or CBP another cent without major reforms. ICE and CBP agents have killed American citizens on the streets, terrorized communities, and forever traumatized families and children.

“

President Trump promised to end wars — not start them. These strikes are triggering attacks on U.S. military bases with no clear endgame and risk the situation quickly spiraling out of control, endangering our servicemembers and tens of millions of innocents.

“

Under a CR and in a shutdown, this administration can do everything they are already doing — but without any of the critical guardrails and constraints imposed by a full-year funding bill. Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE.

“

Today, I joined my colleagues in supporting H.Res. 996, a resolution to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem for high crimes and misdemeanors.

ICE agents shot and killed a mother of three.
