Three months after the deadliest crash in decades, an Army helicopter forced 2 planes to abort landings at DCA—again. 67 lives is enough. We’ve heard reports of comms breakdowns between agencies but Pete Hegseth & DOD won’t answer questions. His incompetency is becoming a daily threat to Americans.

Trump wants a birthday parade with tanks, jets & 6,600 troops—and he wants YOU to pay for it. This is real waste, fraud and abuse. I introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act to stop it. He says your kids should have less at Christmas—while he gets a taxpayer-funded parade. This isn't a monarchy.

Congressman introduces the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act | The Highland County Press

The measure, introduced after press accounts of White House plans to stage a parade from the Pentagon to the White House on Donald Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14, would prohibit enacting such a plan...

The attack on a free press is happening right now. Trump ordered NPR & PBS defunded—for telling the truth about the impacts of his administration. World Press Freedom Day isn’t just a celebration anymore. It’s a call to action. I’m introducing a resolution to condemn these authoritarian attacks.

There are serious concerns about xAI’s gas turbines in Memphis—emissions, health risks, and a lack of transparency. Yesterday I shared my concerns in a public letter to the SCHD. No company should get a free pass to pollute—especially not one owned by Trump’s top donor & the richest man on earth.
