Our country needs responsible leadership. It needs border security.

You don't impeach the President or a Cabinet Secretary because you do not like their policies.

To say the least, it has been a journey the last 3 hours.

More than 90 percent of hard drugs such as fentanyl enter the United States through legal crossings at ports of entry.

The Coast Guard cannot address the challenges in the Arctic on its own and must work hand-in-hand with Alaskan native tribes and communities and international allies and partners.

Unfortunately, these kinds of disasters are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change.
