I’m all about improving our aging infrastructure, including IAD. But Trump has a long track record of claiming projects like these won’t cost taxpayers a dime. And then asking them to foot the bill. Our aviation system deserves real investments. Not another golden make-over.

Last year, wide bipartisan majorities in Congress voted to expand IVF coverage for our servicemembers. But not this year. Apparently, we can afford the largest defense budget ever, but not a fraction of that to help our troops build their families. Outrageous.

Ricardo is one of countless children in Chicago that has been detained.  These students should be preparing for prom and graduation, not being traumatized and separated from family. DHS is out of control.

The Port Shuaiba attack exposed Trump's failure to protect and care for troops who are injured. Trump and Hegseth must stop putting servicemembers in harm’s way, failing them when they’re wounded and then covering it up. I’m demanding answers.

Democratic lawmakers announced that they are opening an investigation into the Iranian drone strike that killed six U.S. service members in Kuwait earlier this year, citing doubts over the objectivity of the military’s internal review of the attack. wapo.st/4xvGtuH

Remember all the times that Trump said the war was over? Six months in, he's still choosing bombs over diplomacy. Not giving a damn about the targets he puts on our troops' backs.
