Pete Hegseth just created an “Office of Religious Affairs” inside the Pentagon that reports straight to him. In his own words, it comes with “no staff filters” and “a direct line to the secretary,” because his department is “putting on the full armor of God.”

Trump floated cutting off Canada and taken aim at Mexico, two of our biggest partners. Farmers, manufacturers, and families all depend on that trade. We should fight unfair trade hard, and both parties agree on that. But here’s why Trump’s threat makes no sense.

In 2015, Trump said he’d serve Xi a McDonald’s hamburger instead of a state dinner. He said state dinners cost a fortune and slammed Obama for honoring Xi. So what did Trump do last week? Throw Xi a lavish state dinner in the White House.

Congress passed it. The president signed it. Then, with five days left in the fiscal year, Trump canceled nearly a billion dollars of it anyway. It's called a pocket rescission, and Congress's nonpartisan watchdog says it's illegal. a Every American should care who controls the power of the purse.

Contractors behind the Lincoln reflecting pool mess have admitted in writing they were responsible. Trump owes the former Olympian he tried to prosecute an apology. Congress should get every document related to this debacle.

Donald Trump asked the crowd in Dallas to raise their right hands and pledge to cheat in an election. Ten years of his telling people the other side steals and cheats, and here's where we are. The joke will be on all of us.

Last month was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth. Donald Trump couldn’t care less, but you should. Here’s why.

The House is mostly on vacation until November. I'm signing a letter with my colleagues telling Speaker Johnson to call us back to deal with AI regulation before it’s too late.

Last night in Dallas, President Trump made Americans an offer. $5,000 for every adult citizen in America. Is it real? No. Let’s call it what it is: a con. Here’s why.

The 8-hour work day, the weekend, OSHA standards, pensions, America’s middle class. None of it was given. All of it was hard-fought and won by labor. It's our job to keep up that fight, especially under an administration intent on undermining worker protections.

We are living through the most anti-labor administration in American history, but unions aren’t backing down and neither am I. Proud to stand with them and fight for working people every day in Congress.

Rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure could take up to $100 billion, and increasing production will take years. If Trump is so sure this won’t cost America a dime, let’s pass my legislation to stop U.S. tax dollars from rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.

Trump thinks he’s the second coming of Teddy Roosevelt. What a joke. TR protected 230,000,000 acres for the public forever. Meanwhile, Trump wants to hand a corner of Yosemite to a buddy of his to build who knows what. You can’t make this stuff up.

Great to spend time with Teamsters leaders from across Joint Council 42 in Carlsbad last week. Strong unions built the middle class, and they remain the reason workers have rights and a fair shot in this country.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. It is not close. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. This is why I launched the End Corruption Caucus with my colleagues Jason Crow and AOC. www.axios.com/2026/09/02/g...

Bill McKibben hit the nail on the head: every day Donald Trump lets his personal vendetta against science dictate American energy policy, our nation falls further behind. I’m fighting for the clean energy future our kids deserve—not backward policies that prop up coal and line Big Oil’s pockets.

Our Marines and sailors are the best fighting force in the world. Calling them weak for needing basic standards of habitability, food and clean water, working toilets, a port call more than once every 200 days, is beyond the pale. Fox News should be ashamed to put this slop on the air.

Trump and Hegseth have claimed dozens of times that we’ve won the war in Iran. If we won, bring our service members home. And if we didn’t, stop lying to their families and the public. You can’t keep claiming victory and keep the war going at the same time. Our service members deserve the truth.

There are two reasons Congress has failed to provide meaningful oversight of this White House, and their names are Mike Johnson and John Thune. I took an oath to the Constitution. That is why I helped start the End Corruption Caucus, to provide the oversight Republican leadership refuses to allow.

No amount of spin can change the plain truth. If confirmed, Todd Blanche would be Trump’s defense attorney disguised as Attorney General. He cannot be the people’s lawyer while the sitting president is his client. He must not be confirmed.

The president said data centers cause “very little actual disruption” for local communities. The families living next to them would disagree. These facilities pull enormous amounts of water and electricity. They raise real health and environmental concerns. None of that is minor to the people.

Trump hung Teddy Roosevelt in the Oval Office like he’s the heir apparent. What a joke. Roosevelt busted monopolies, banned corporate cash, and jailed the spoils system. Trump runs the family business from the Resolute Desk. One man fought the powerful. The other invoices them.

As Los Angeles burned, people were on Polymarket betting on how many acres it would take. One wrote, “That was fun. Until the next time.” This is sick. I’m going to do all I can to ban it.

Reflecting on Trump’s rant last night, one thing I didn’t expect is the actual documents his own administration declassified would refute his key claims. The National Intelligence Council found that China did not conduct covert election interference in 2020.

The government just spent $1.5 billion of your money buying two immigration prisons from CoreCivic, including Otay Mesa in San Diego. The company walks away with over $1B. Trump owns CoreCivic stock. He holds shares in the company his own administration just enriched. Totally corrupt.

Trump’s government committed up to $1.6 billion of your tax dollars to a tungsten mine in Kazakhstan. Then the sons showed up. Eric and Don Jr. tied to a 20% stake. Lutnick’s sons also cashed in. The fathers negotiate, the government pays, the children profit. They are not even hiding it.

It is long past time to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. The bill to do it is bipartisan and has broad support in the House. Speaker Johnson said he backs a ban, but has let his own promised timeline come and go with no vote on the floor. The American people deserve action.

It’s easy for the president to say everyone is doing great. It’s easy to wave off the strain families are feeling at the grocery store, the gas pump, the pharmacy counter. It’s easy to not care how Americans are actually making ends meet when you just raked in $2 billion in personal profits.

Qatar Force One is costing you anywhere from $400 million to $1 billion. When we take back the House, we will use every tool to demand accountability for every dollar that went into that plane, and to prevent Trump from taking it back to Florida once he leaves the White House.

250 years ago, our founders pledged everything to a single idea. A government that answers to the people. America has never belonged to any one man, and it never will. Happy Independence Day. The American experiment continues, and it’s ours to defend.

“I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.” That’s Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, telling donors he’ll shield Trump’s family, Cabinet, and friends from investigation. You don’t build a protection program for people who did nothing wrong.

Here’s our latest edition of, “Can you imagine if Obama had done this?” Taking a $400 million jet from a foreign government and keeping it when he left office. It would have ended his presidency. Trump did it and calls it free. Grift, in plain sight.

The Establishment Clause is literally the first protection in the Bill of Rights, and Thomas Jefferson famously described it as creating a “wall of separation between church and state.”

Justice Alito’s son works inside Trump’s Treasury. Alito ruled on a case where Treasury was the defendant and didn’t recuse. The WSJ says calling this out is “attacking the Court.” No. Federal law requires recusal when impartiality “might reasonably be questioned.”

Today I’m grateful for the dad who raised me and the son and daughter who call me Dad. Being a father is the greatest honor of my life. Having a dad like mine made me the man I am. Happy Father’s Day to the dads, granddads, and father figures who show up every day with steady hands and full hearts.

Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.” When a safety test shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask them to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe. Senior scientists reassigned to paperwork.

Look at who Trump is choosing. His former criminal defense lawyer for Attorney General. A housing official with zero intelligence experience is set to run our spy agencies, picked mainly for his record of filing charges against the president’s critics. Blanche and Pulte must not be confirmed.

No administration in American history has been this corrupt. None. And Congress cannot sit back and let it stand. We are a coequal branch of government. That means we have not just the power but the duty to act: to check this president and stop the corruption lining the Trump family’s pockets.

A federal judge just ordered Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center. Good. It never belonged there. The name is coming down, now or later. If they’re short a volunteer, I will personally climb the ladder and take the name down myself.

My Appropriations amendment was simple. Bar the President, the Vice President, and members of Congress from cashing in on Trump’s $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund, unless a court actually awarded them the money. Every Republican on the committee who was present voted no.

Can you imagine if Obama had hosted a cage fight on the South Lawn of the White House. On his own birthday. With 1,000 tickets handed to himself. While Republican lobbyists begged for the leftovers. Fox would have run a 24-hour countdown clock to impeachment.
