The targeted, mass destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure does not constitute Israeli self-defense.

We are troubled by the Israeli military’s practice of mass demolitions of civilian infrastructure in southern Lebanon and targeting practices that kill Lebanese civilians.

However, this does not justify unrestrained Israeli military operations, especially those that violate the current ceasefire, destroy civilian infrastructure, and lead to the death of hundreds of civilians.

Every government has a right and a responsibility to protect its citizens, and Israel has a right to defend itself.

Congress has a responsibility to ask tough questions instead of rubber-stamping increased defense spending.

Our military should have the resources needed to defend the country, but every dollar should support a clear national security need.

The Pentagon has never passed an audit and is requesting an unprecedented $1.5 trillion for their FY27 budget.

Bloated defense spending has been a serious problem for far too long. Requiring unfunded priorities only encourages the Pentagon to seek additional funding outside the normal budget process, often at the expense of readiness and sound…

North Dakota has long been a leader in the development of our natural resources, benefiting the state and the nation. Extracting critical minerals, particularly through UND’s best and brightest researchers and engineers, is the next step…

This work is essential to maintaining U.S. competitiveness in the specialty crop sector and ensuring Americans continue to have access to high-quality, domestically grown food, which is fundamental to our national security.

If the election mail delays that we saw this spring are not addressed, they are likely to disenfranchise an even greater number of voters during the fall elections

Communities around these installations must not be left behind, and remediation work cannot wait.

This apparent justification for withholding MEP funds lacks credibility.

The MEP Program enhances the competitiveness, productivity, and technological performance of the U.S. manufacturing sector.

The United States draws its strength from unity and inclusion, not from fear and division.

Accordingly, we insist that the Postal Service abandon this proposed regulation and return to its core mission of providing universal postal services to every American. The Constitution and federal law demand nothing less.

Despite these grave and serious legal deficiencies, on June 2, 2026, USPS published a proposed rule that, if finalized, would establish President Trump’s control over federal elections and allow USPS to adjudicate who can and cannot vote…

These and other injustices people with disabilities experience in our digital world must end.

We cannot accept a nation where a teenager’s bus ride home becomes a battleground, and where families are left to mourn preventable tragedies.

No child should ever be put in a situation where they lose their life protecting a friend from gunfire.

There is also an environmental dimension to this that cannot be ignored.

I want to be careful and fair here. Not one of these facts, standing alone, proves anything improper.
