Former governors
This ruling is a win for Texas, and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.
Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned and democracy won
That tells you all that you need to know—this is about partisan politics, plain and simple.
This ruling is clearly erroneous and undermines the authority the U.S. Constitution assigns to the Texas Legislature by imposing a different map by judicial edict.
Any claim that these maps are discriminatory is absurd and unsupported by the testimony offered during ten days of hearings.
This administration is restoring the Endangered Species Act to its original intent, protecting species through clear, consistent and lawful standards that also respect the livelihoods of Americans who depend on our land and resources.
I think that spiritual element really matters in a world that can use a little bit more of that.
The one area that consistently gets overlooked in the climate discussion is biodiversity.
I don’t know there’s a more important location than the rainforest.
We'll see the U.S. Department of Justice in court.
If the Trump administration cared half as much about public safety as it does about pardoning cop-beaters, violating people's rights, and detaining U.S. citizens and their kids, our communities would be much safer.
We've seen masked, heavily armed agents in paramilitary garb driving unmarked cars, targeting American citizens based on their skin color. This is not making us safer. It's stoking fear and dividing our community.
Is aware of reports that the Border Patrol is bringing its operation to Raleigh. Once again, I call on federal agents to target violent criminals, not neighbors walking down the street, going to church, or putting up Christmas decorations…
This confirms what we have always known: This is about normalizing military forces in American cities.
Members of the Oregon National Guard, who are our friends and neighbors, have been away from their families and jobs for 50 days on an unnecessary deployment.
Never should have illegally deployed our troops in the first place.
Don’t ask me to assume failure on the effort that we’re undertaking.
If they don’t take it up, I’ll give you a prediction: The November 2026 elections are going to look a whole lot worse for Republicans than the November 2025 elections did.
Frankly, I viewed the situation last weekend as we had no path, none, to a health care fix until we reopened government.
I don’t need to freelance opinions about House leadership.
I don’t tell Ro Khanna or AOC or anybody else who you should pick as your House leader, because I got a full-time job being a senator.
