Over the past year and half, ordinary travel has turned into a traumatizing ordeal for tourists, business travelers, lawfully permanent residents, and U.S. citizens.
I wrote to the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department more than a year ago expressing concerns about your Departments’ unhelpful and unbalanced policies with respect to travelers visiting our country for major sporting…
The judicial branch has a massive impact on Americans’ daily lives, yet few of us get the chance to see the wheels of justice in motion. Allowing cameras in federal courtrooms would help foster civic engagement and increase confidence in…
It’s time to put cameras in the Supreme Court so more Americans can finally see arguments and decisions in cases that will affect them for generations to come. Our bipartisan bill shines a light into the judicial branch of government, and…
Coal ash poses a serious threat to human health and the environment, which Congress has required EPA to protect under RCRA before contamination occurs.
We write in strong opposition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed revisions to existing federal regulations that protect our communities from toxic coal combustion residuals (CCR), or coal ash, in landfills and…
Republicans showed their true priorities. It’s Donald Trump first, America last—every damn time.
In Republicans’ extreme reconciliation bill, the American people would get nothing while ICE and Border Patrol get another $70 billion blank check—on top of the $100 billion included in Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill—without any reforms…
Americans are getting pummeled by sky-high costs thanks to Donald Trump—and Republicans couldn’t care less. Instead of fighting to lower energy and grocery bills for their constituents, Senate Republicans spent all day and night fighting…
The facts, history, and law affirm that the hostilities that began on February 28 are active and ongoing, in violation of international law and the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
At a time when government services are increasingly delivered online, weakening this rule would risk excluding millions of Americans with disabilities from full participation in civic life.
Your mission is to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. Accordingly, the FAA must commit to upholding the highest safety standards and be firm in rejecting any improper or irresponsible pressure from President…
President Trump choosing to force the FAA to invest limited staff and resources into a distracting review of his gaudy and disgraceful arch is merely the latest example of Trump putting his pet projects first, while neglecting America’s…
King also has introduced bipartisan legislation to improve care coordination for veterans who rely on both VA health care and Medicare.
Recently, Senator King introduced bipartisan legislation to help reduce suicides among veterans by providing free secure firearm storage to veterans.
Representing one of the states with the highest rates of military families and veterans per capita, Senator King is a staunch advocate for America’s servicemembers and veterans.
Because Congress has enacted no laws authorizing this commemorative work, NPS must take the only course allowed by law: suspend the Section 106 process.
Ten days of public comment cannot discharge that duty.
We oppose this project in the strongest terms and object to execution of the draft Programmatic Agreement.
All told, this year’s defense bill will make our country safer, strengthen our economy, and support the men and women who fight for our freedoms.
As our global community faces some of its greatest challenges, the bill makes important investments – including in Maine people and businesses – that are critical to the safety and security of our country.
For over six decades, Congress has taken a bipartisan approach to ensure that America’s military and defense forces have the training and equipment to carry out their missions and protect our interests at home and abroad. This year, we are…
The Iranian regime has not renounced its ultimate goal — ‘Death to America, Death to Israel.’ The regime will invest every penny it receives to further that aim.
