Former senators
The American people deserve to have a government that works for them—not one that is willing to push energy prices even higher and put the country’s energy security at grave risk.
Utah desperately needs more housing, and the Postal Service needs new sources of revenue; this commonsense legislation helps accomplish both,” said Senator Curtis. “By giving USPS the authority to lease underutilized property for housing…
Senate Democrats continue to support the full repeal of Republicans’ disastrous Medicaid cuts and stand united in calling on the Trump Administration to withdraw this harmful rule.
The Trump Administration’s definition of medical frailty far exceeds what is outlined in the law itself and creates additional onerous barriers for both patients and states.
This legislation would immediately restore the casualty records of our fallen and wounded servicemembers and ensure no other Administration can ever do this again.
Time and again, this Administration has tried to conceal its failures in Iran behind the courage of the brave Americans it placed in harm’s way.
Secretary Rubio welcomed Austria’s election to the UN Security Council and highlighted areas of shared interests.
Secretary Rubio thanked Greece for its role as a stalwart NATO ally and reaffirmed the continued strength of the United States-Greece bilateral relationship in defense, energy, law enforcement, technology, and enduring connections between…
The Office of Legal Counsel used to have sufficient independence from the president to give sound legal advice to the executive branch. Under Trump, it is an office that merely tells the president what he wants to hear.
This is more proof that OLC has lost all credibility and should be abolished.

Peggy Flanagan’s win is further proof that the many can beat the money.
Furthermore, the congressman needs to publicly retract his false and disgraceful continued insistence that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, which Donald Trump lost decisively here in Georgia and across the country.
Congressman Collins needs to immediately come out and publicly retract his support for these taxpayer-funded payouts to violent insurrectionists.
Yesterday we heard congressman Mike Collins unacceptably and disgustingly call for taxpayer-funded payouts to the violent thugs who ransacked the United States Capitol to try to overturn the 2020 election.
CODELs have visited war zones to inspect the conditions of our troops. There is no reason to be denied access.
