I worked with leaders on both sides of the river as Secretary of Transportation to help get funding for the Brent Spence Bridge Project across the finish line. For about 20 years, people only talked about making something happen - now, we actually are.

MAGA says they only want judges born in the US. Fine. Start with Trump’s BFF, Aileen Cannon, who was born in Cali, Colombia. Let’s see how long that rule lasts.

Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities, yet the Trump Administration is wasting $1M in taxpayer dollars on political ads. This is unacceptable. That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding DHS Sec. Mullin end the use of taxpayer funds for political ads.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago. The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney. Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent. Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?
