I am awed by the bravery of all the Koreans who stood against the attempted coup. Our alliance with The Republic of Korea is strongest when centered around democracy and the rule of law.

The FBI's mission is to keep the American people safe. Trump's selection of Kash Patel to lead it confirms that he instead plans to turn federal law enforcement against the American people, to target his enemies and use the power of the state to persecute them. Very dangerous.

Raising YOUR prices to pay for cutting THEIR taxes – that’s #Trumpflation!

Trump threatens to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China on first day in office

President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office as part of his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs.

Donald Trump’s first act as president will be to intentionally *raise* prices for the American people.

Project 2025 architect Russ Vought is one of Trump’s worst and most extreme nominees. He argued for radical seizures of power by the president, with a goal of undoing Congress’ constitutional authority and the rule of law. His plans to purge the federal workforce would be a disaster for Virginia.

I love maps! They tell important stories, and they can make us better communicators and policymakers. I joined the American Geographical Society to discuss how innovative maps can serve as a tool to help us understand climate and find common ground for collaboration.

Those advising the President must be trustworthy public servants. Joined @repdonbeyer.bsky.social to introduce a bill to uphold the security clearance process and prevent individuals with major security concerns from accessing sensitive intelligence materials.

Trump abused the security clearance process to reward allies and family, even when national security staff and his own Chief of Staff warned against it. He's trying to do it again. I introduced the Security Clearance Review Act with @tedlieu.bsky.social to stop this. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

It won't lower prices, or create jobs, but this awful discrimination will distract their supporters while Johnson and his fellow Republicans move to give piles of money to billionaires and large corporations and cut your health care. Cruelty is the point but it is not the only point.

This should not be a partisan issue – the Gaetz report must be released. You don't get to hide potential wrongdoing while seeking a job as the top law enforcement officer in the United States. That is not a thing. Release the Gaetz report.

Communities hit by Hurricanes Helene and Milton are still picking up the pieces and they need our help. Congress must step up and deliver comprehensive disaster relief to help these communities rebuild. It's the right thing to do. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Top lawmakers plan to spend the next few weeks finalizing a bipartisan bill that fulfills at least some of that request.
