This decision to allow elephant trophies to be imported reflects an administration under the undue influence of the NRA.
Congressman Perlmutter is asking all the right questions, and it seems to me, in the short time we have been on the floor here, in some ways, we are asking harder questions than what we are seeing from the committees that should be…
I want to thank the gentleman from Colorado because I have all of the same questions and all of the same concerns, and so it is very appropriate that we are coming together to ask what are they afraid of, what are they hiding, because…
From the mighty redwoods to the headlands and beaches of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in my bay area, backyard to the ancient sequoias of Yosemite, to the scorching deserts of Death Valley, we know our national parks are worth…
We get to scapegoat environmental laws and Mexicans at the same time, so what an irresistible opportunity for this authoritarian agenda.
Outside this building, more and more Republicans bemoan the effect of Trumpism on their party. We should take a moment to define this new phenomenon. Trumpism is when the whims of our authoritarian President ``trump'' the values…
Ignoring tribal rights, community voices, and our country's laws, as some are proposing, doesn't help solve problems, but it does advance President Trump's very authoritarian, dystopic agenda.
President Trump's mantra is ``no collusion.'' He says this constantly because he wants people to think collusion--a hard thing to prove--is the only question in the Russia investigation. It is not. Even putting aside the mounting evidence…

This week, I joined with Ted Lieu and Alan Lowenthal and several of my other colleagues, 36 Members of the California Delegation, in writing a letter to the Secretary urging that California be removed from the Administration's offshore…
I hope that that same passion for the rule of law carries over to our considerations of obstruction of justice and the tax on the courts and other institutions.
Character assassination is Donald Trump's favorite trick when people make him look bad. This month, Trump and his allies have been desperately smearing the authors of the infamous dossier, which exposes disturbing facts about Trump's…
June 9, 2016, was the date of the infamous Trump Tower meeting with at least five Russians with Kremlin ties. That date is about the only constant in a tangled web of lies we have heard from Team Trump. When Donald Trump, Jr., was first…
Donald Trump claims he has ``nothing to do with Russia,'' but we have seen damning revelations: secret meetings, business and financial entanglements, and elaborate attempts to conceal information. In any other era, these would be…
Our Republican colleagues who control the House, the Senate, and the White House are on the verge of another government shutdown. They have brought us to the brink, and now they are asking for more time to get their work done. Why do they…
We are going to need to support these kinds of broad stakeholder efforts, to come together to make compromises to find sustainable policies.
Jobs, because fisheries do create jobs and a lot of economic activities, and it is important that we remember that.
I am just very favorably impressed with the way all the stakeholders have come together and stuck with it over these many years.
These are exactly the kind of partnerships that I strongly believe we need to support, and not the more controversial partisan attempts.
We want to help support recovery of the four endangered species in the Upper Colorado and the San Juan Rivers.
