Democrats offered legislation to fully fund TSA, FEMA, and cyber defense agencies, but Republicans blocked it.
Republicans and President Trump are responsible for the chaos and delays at Americaβs airports.

Regulators shouldnβt be financially tied to the industries they regulate. If these findings hold, thatβs a profound breach of the public trust.
Congress must get answers.

While Americans worry about war, rising costs, and their economic future, the President is busy trademarking the countryβs 250th anniversary with his own name attached.
The presidency isnβt supposed to be a self-enriching business venture.
For months we were told these cuts would make government βmore efficient.β
Now weβre seeing the reality: slashing critical programs and personnel are undermining our ability to respond to emergencies, counter threats, and protect Americans at home and abroad.
Before another life is risked or another dollar spent, Congress and the American people deserve answers.
The first 48 hours of Trumpβs war of choice: $5.6B in munitions spent, American servicemembers lost, families back at home bracing for the rising costs of war, & Americans abroad left stranded without help from their own government.
On The First 48, investigators say the first 2 days determine everything that follows.
Admitting you βdonβt know enough about itβ after accusing another country of bombing its own school is not leadership, itβs dangerous.
Decisions about war demand facts, discipline, and seriousness. Americans deserve better than guesswork.
Weaponizing the right to vote is not election security, itβs voter suppression.
Threatening to hold legislation hostage unless Congress passes the SAVE Act says everything. This bill would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans β including seniors, military families, and married women who changed their names β to vote.

For someone who branded himself the President of Peace, this administration seems to keep leaving diplomacy in the dust.
Now talks to end the Gaza peace plan are on hold while the region edges toward broader conflict.
The President may dismiss it, but working families can't dismiss the blow to their pocketbooks.
Reckless decisions abroad are hitting Americans right here at home.

Muslims serve in our military, teach our kids, run businesses, and strengthen our communities. They belong in America.
The real thing that doesnβt belong is this kind of hate coming from a sitting Member of Congress.
Venezuela.
Greenland.
Iran.
Now Cuba is βnext.β
Β
This isnβt foreign policy, itβs a dangerous pattern of escalation and imperialism. Americans didnβt vote for a President who treats the world like a list of countries to conquer.
βDonβt do anything rash that could make things worse.β
That would require the President to abandon his entire approach to governing.
The same people claiming we canβt afford health care, food assistance, or investments that help families get by somehow found $2 BILLION A DAY for a war of choice.
Donβt let anyone pretend this was about fiscal responsibility.
Thatβs not leadership. Itβs deranged β and it shows exactly how little regard he has for the people he was elected to protect.
The President who promised to be the βPresident of Peaceβ and to put America First is now casually shrugging off the possibility of Americans dying at home because of a war he chose.
In the 13 months since Trump took office, the economy has created a net total of 198,000 jobs compared with 1.4 million created in the last 13 months of the Biden administration. data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOu...
92,000 jobs lost in a single month is not just a statistic β itβs families worried about rent, groceries, & keeping the lights on.
Working people are paying the price for an administration that has spent more time making their lives more difficult and more expensive than strengthening our economy.
The warning signs are flashing.
Lost jobs. Slowing hiring. Rising unemployment. The economy is sending a clear message: constant instability and careless leadership come with real consequences for working families who deserve better.
The Constitution is clear: the authority to declare war rests with Congress, & the American people deserve transparency & accountability before our nation is drawn into another open-ended military conflict.
My statement on voting in favor of the War Powers Resolution:
After years of political theater and conspiracy theories, the DOJ found what many of us already knew: there was no crime.Β
Imagine if the same energy spent chasing an autopen was used to bring predators and abusers to justice through the Epstein files.
Itβs almost as if taxpayers donβt want to bankroll fancy ballroom spaces for the wealthy and well-connected while theyβre struggling to keep a roof over their own heads.
Kristi Noemβs removal is overdue. But the damage done under her watchβfrom abuses by ICE to a lack of accountability at CBPβwonβt disappear overnight. One firing isnβt reform. Congress must act to rein in these agencies and restore the rule of law.

But yes, for the record: also fire Kristi Noem for her careless leadership.
$220 MILLION in taxpayer funds for a DHS ad campaign.Β
The problem isnβt who gets fired, itβs how this happened in the first place.
Americans donβt need lectured about βpatienceβ. They need relief.
The Trump administration promised to lower costs on day one β yet families are still paying more for groceries, housing, and healthcare while Republicans focus on tax breaks for billionaires.
The Constitution is clear: Congress has a role in decisions of war and peace.
Any escalation with Iran must come with strategy, transparency, and congressional authorization. I will be voting YES on the War Powers resolution today to rein in Trumpβs illegal war.
