President Trumpâs use of the military to punish political opposition in cities across the country is a blatant abuse of power. I joined my colleagues to push the Court to stop Trumpâs orders and keep unlawful military deployments out of our cities.

Banning Members of Congress from trading stocks or becoming lobbyists shouldnât be controversial â nor should ending the pervasive self-dealing in the White House. Iâve proposed real reforms to end corruption in Washington D.C. â and will keep fighting to get them across the finish line!

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

A "significant share" of companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve said they raised the prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs. One company said they did this to "enjoy the extra margin before tariffs increased their costs." See the problem here?

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Republicans and DOGE are attacking public broadcasting, claiming it's "wasteful" and promotes an "agenda." But spending on public broadcasting is just 0.01% of the federal budget â and funding has bipartisan support. This is part of Trump's bigger war on an educated public.
