American taxpayers financed an overpriced, unnecessary, and failed project while Trump's allies got richer.
It’s a damning picture of the corruption, self-dealing, and incompetence that defines the Trump Administration.

My first job out of college was as a Park Ranger at the Lincoln Memorial.
The Reflecting Pool fiasco is infuriating.
While Americans struggle with higher costs amid war in Iran, Trump is fixated on a vanity project that enriched his friends on the American taxpayers’ dime.
The President’s son-in-law is helping shape U.S. Middle East policy amid a war in Iran while simultaneously raising billions from Middle Eastern governments for his private equity firm.
This is a massive corruption scandal that deserves far more attention than it’s getting.
Donald Trump’s DOJ is unwilling to permanently drop its pursuit of a nearly $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund – and that’s exactly why Congress must outlaw it.

The Trump Justice Department just killed an investigation looking into convicted fraudster David Gentile’s reported $2.5M in payments to secure clemency from President Trump.
This is the administration that "won't turn a blind eye to fraud."

"Fewer than 49% of Americans can afford healthcare, the lowest rate since tracking began in 2021, according to Gallup data released Thursday."

Children weren’t the target of federal food program changes, but they’re increasingly “collateral damage,” one expert said.
The drop in the number of children receiving SNAP benefits is a “public health crisis” in the making, said another expert.
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and grandfathers! I am so grateful for my children and grandchildren who always inspire me to be better.
Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people and serves as a reminder of America's history with racism, injustice, and suffering.
Even as this administration attempts to erase this history, we must confront and learn from it to build a better future.
I welcome efforts to negotiate an end to the war in Iran, but the MOU lays bare the failure of the President's strategy.
It's worse than what was on offer before the US-Israeli bombing campaign and fails to improve on the Iran deal he so foolishly cast aside.

Have you been annoyingly paying for Trump's vanity projects in Washington, DC?
If you've visited a national park lately, you have. And you didn't even get a say.
The U.S. directly benefits from public health breakthroughs like this because we’ve built world-class scientific institutions and empowered experts to do their work.
We can accomplish more by strengthening those institutions rather than starving them of funding and talent.
As screwworm continues to spread, Trump's USDA is prioritizing firing and relocating the public servants responsible for containing this outbreak instead of investing in the infrastructure needed to control it and prevent it from happening again.

NEW: Internal spending reviews at USDA and OMB slowed the federal government's response to the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating pest that threatens the U.S. cattle industry.
“That sense of urgency wasn’t there,” said a former USDA official.
For @politico.com
The HSI and HHS OIG operation targeting these organizations is deeply concerning, but consistent with this administration's efforts targeting entities that don't align with Stephen Miller’s agenda.
I will push for oversight of these actions in Congress.
@supportkind.org, Ayuda, and the Amica Center provide legal services through a congressionally authorized and appropriated program that has long had bipartisan support.
On June 11, federal agents visited KIND’s DC headquarters without a warrant in an operation targeting legal service providers for unaccompanied children.
Our work to support due process and protect the most vulernable will not be intimidated.

Muharram Mubarak to everyone celebrating! May this year bring you and your family peace and love!
For those of us who rely on the George Washington Memorial Parkway to commute, the reopening of the North section makes a big difference!
It's amazing to see the great work we can accomplish by coming together to invest in critical projects.

As the data centers that power AI continue to expand, we have a responsibility to understand its environmental impacts and develop solutions.
@markey.senate.gov and I introduced the AI Environmental Impacts Act to ensure we have better data and coordination to identify these risks.
