My prayers are with the loved ones of the 6 American service members killed in a KC-135 crash in Western Iraq yesterday.

Every life lost is an immeasurable tragedy.

We can and must end Trump’s war.

Now-fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem lavished $220 million in American taxpayer funds on a self-promoting PR campaign run by close friends. Where’s DOGE's night crew cracking down on wasteful and corrupt spending when you actually need it?
 
The American people demand an investigation and a refund.

One of the best ways to celebrate Women’s History Month is by getting more Democratic women into the pipeline. Emerge Oregon is doing exactly that — recruiting and training women to run at every level.

As Trump wages an illegal war with Iran that costs taxpayers $1 billion EVERY DAY, the U.S. lost almost 100,000 jobs last month and families are being stretched to the limit.

He will never put you and your family first.

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Markwayne Mullin at DHS will be more of the same.

After the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, he echoed many of the same talking points pushed by Kristi Noem.

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

DHS agents are not rogue. DHS agents have been empowered to violate our rights and act with impunity.

If we fail to act, DHS will continue to be a weapon that can be pointed at anyone the government considers the public enemy… and fascism always requires a public enemy.

FINALLY the plaque honoring the officers who protected our Capitol on January 6, 2021 is hanging in the U.S. Capitol.

I worked across the aisle with Sen. Tillis to get this done. Glad to see it displayed.
