You are here because it appears that the President of the United States cleared peaceful protestors to have a photo op: to create a false appearance that he had protests under control and to intimidate Americans from exercising their First…

We recently passed the Justice in Policing Act of 2020. It stops the militarization of police by stopping a Federal program that gives local police surplus military equipment.

On behalf of the U.S. Government, I would like to apologize for your brutal treatment you received by your own government.

It was particularly disgraceful that these tactics were used so the President could engage in a photo op.

I don't need a magic minute to say the obvious, that President Trump's response to the coronavirus has been a colossal and utter failure that has left 36 million Americans without jobs, 87,000 dead, and 1.5 million with this disease. You…

I applaud both Representative Tonko and Representative Barr for putting forward a bipartisan bill to ensure the integrity of this popular sport.

We must see the forest from the trees.

This is the result of a human-caused climate crisis.

Our constituents across America would be surprised to know that so many of these districts have been poisoned by a chemical they never even heard of, the PFOS and PFAS chemicals. But they would be even more shocked to know that the very…

Policies governing 5G deployment should be guided by principles of transparency and equitability. Stakeholders should conduct regular vulnerability assessments and risk mitigation of products. And customers must be able to be informed…
