While this specific sale will not move forward, my concerns about the expansion of mass detention and the lack of transparency surrounding immigration enforcement decisions have not changed.

Grateful to join the Consumer Credit Industry Association on the Hill this week to discuss bipartisan, pragmatic solutions in the 119th Congress that expand housing supply, reduce financial risk, support working families and strengthen the economy.
From higher insurance premiums to disaster recovery bills, this is an issue that hits home and leaves working families paying the price for climate denial. We should be strengthening protections, not dismantling them.
“During the past 20 years, Missouri experienced 59 more billion-dollar disasters from severe storms compared to the previous 20 years.”

You can’t repeal reality. The Endangerment Finding affirmed what scientists have made clear for decades:climate change endangers public health. Walking away from that truth won’t protect families, it just puts them at greater risk. I strongly oppose this reckless decision

We should be focused on lowering costs and strengthening supply chains, not manufacturing emergencies that leave the American people bearing the financial burden.
Last night, I was proud to join every Democrat - and a few Republicans – to stop the tariffs on Canada. Why? Because Trump’s Tariffs are taxes, and working families are paying the price.
Donald Trump said he would deport violent criminals and felons here unlawfully, but instead ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize and kill Americans.
Tune in now to hear how House Democrats are holding ICE accountable.

A grand jury saw through this political stunt. Using the Justice Department to target political opponents is an abuse of power – full stop. We will not be intimidated because the American people deserve better.
That’s why I’m proud to join @repmaxinewaters.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov, and 183 of my current and former colleagues in filing our fifth amicus brief in support of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Hostility toward consumer protection is mind-boggling.
We’re talking about shielding people from fraud, junk fees, and financial abuse. Real people feel the consequences when we weaken these protections – and that’s who I’m fighting for.
Last night the House rejected an attempt to silence oversight of Trump’s tariffs. Congress has a constitutional duty to check the executive branch – especially when working families and small businesses are paying the price.

Wow. CBO estimates that U.S. consumers bear 95 PERCENT OF THE TRUMP TARIFFS.
Basically, foreign firms bear 5% of them, U.S. companies bear 30% of them but other U.S. companies get to raise prices on consumers from less competition so that nets to zero.
And consumers pay rest.
Lowest-ever ranking. Let that sink in.
Strong democracies depend on transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. When those foundations erode, the world notices.
Public service is a public trust and we have a lot of work to do to restore it.

Donald Trump promised to “rapidly bring down costs.” Republicans in Congress said lowering prices was their top priority.
More than a year into Trump’s second term and on thing is clear: they lied and you’re paying the price.

I’m making good on my commitment to hold Secretary Noem accountable for her careless leadership that enables ICE to terrorize communities across the country, denies due process, and threatens civil liberties for immigrants and American citizens alike.
