Men and women who stood shoulder to shoulder with our troops should not be left behind when they come home sick. I am proud to introduce the Bipartisan Renewing Our PACT Act to fix a gap for civilians exposed to cancer-causing burn pits.

Ever since I asked ICE boss Todd Lyons about ICE’s role at the World Cup, I’ve heard from residents, fans, and people across the US who are worried about the games. They’re worried about being priced out. They’re worried about their safety. Yet we still don’t have clear answers.

I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution. Trump’s war has gone on too long, already taking the lives of our brave men and women in uniform. Choosing between Donald Trump and America, House Republicans today once again picked Trump.

This isn’t the Club World Cup: since last summer the world has seen the brutality of Trump’s ICE raids. I am glad FIFA is taking this seriously but we need certainty. ICE raids at stadiums would only cause chaos and confusion. The games start in 59 days. ⏱️

As the Supreme Court considers Trump’s scheme to end birthright citizenship, we must remember: being “American” is a right guaranteed by our Constitution and defended in the battlefield by countless sons and daughters of immigrants. America’s soul is not Donald Trump’s to bend.

Michael Flynn is a convicted felon who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. This isn’t justice—it’s a rigged system where Trump’s allies cash in and you pay. $1.25 MILLION of TAXPAYER MONEY. No one is above the law… unless you’re close to Trump.

Americans already distrust ICE—and Trump’s latest move hasn’t done anything to ease the long lines; it has just added stress and anxiety for travelers worried about their safety. Fund TSA. Get ICE out of our streets and airports.

With less than 90 days until kickoff, the World Cup should bring the world together and not leave people wondering if ICE will be waiting outside stadiums. We want law enforcement to focus on security for the games, not meeting POTUS’s civil immigration quotas.

🚨 FEMA just released $625 Million in World Cup security funding—47 days after it was due. 🚨 Kristi Noem said they couldn’t release the funding because of the shutdown; that was another lie. ❌ Now we can turn the page and focus on a successful and SAFE World Cup.
