As Attorney General, he will continue to enable this regime’s rampant illegalities, which is why I voted against his confirmation.

From gaslighting Epstein survivors to pursuing political witch hunts, Todd Blanche has helped Donald Trump transform the Department of Justice into a department of revenge, retribution, and corruption.

Todd Blanche’s unyielding loyalty to Donald Trump makes clear that he cares about neither independence nor the rule of law.

The Attorney General of the United States must be independent from the president and committed to upholding the rule of law.

Instead of honoring the brave servicemembers who are being killed and injured, this regime is obscuring the truth and hiding the real cost of this illegal war—all to evade accountability from the American people.

This leaves the United States unacceptably vulnerable to aggression from near-peer adversaries like China.

I write to express my deep and continuing concern regarding the state of the United States military’s critical munitions inventory.

By removing any guidance for what qualifies as ‘public charge’ the Trump Regime’s rule creates fear and prevents immigrants and their families from accessing services they need—even if they are still entitled to them.

While the Trump regime claims to support our servicemembers, their actions tell a far more sinister story.

What we are witnessing is nothing short of a deliberate effort to dismantle the programs that support students with disabilities and their families, particularly for those with nowhere else to turn.

At a time when DOJ has lost thousands of career attorneys with millennia of combined experience, and when DOJ’s independence from politics is no longer in existence, I cannot vote in favor of someone whose actions so clearly make him…

Mr. Blanche has demonstrated that his words to us at his hearing do not matter. I intend to judge Mr. Blanche not by his words but by his actions.

This commonsense legislation honors the service of thousands of women who have served in combat roles with distinction, while strengthening our military by ensuring that every qualified service member is judged by their ability, not their…

I expect you to provide my serious questions with very serious answers.

As a nominee appearing before Congress, it is expected that you will answer questions to the best of your ability.

I am proud to carry on this tradition of partnering with the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii to support our small businesses and show the rest of the country what the aloha spirit is all about.

I remain committed to working toward a final version of the bill that balances the importance of our national security with the domestic needs of the American people.

I could not in good conscience vote to advance a bill that paves the way for an up to 40% increase in year-over-year Department of Defense spending, especially as this administration wages an illegal war in Iran with no plan or end in…

It has become standard practice for Trump Administration officials appearing before Congress not to provide any information about what is going on at their agencies-agencies Congress is charged with overseeing.

From blocking the promotions of qualified servicewomen to ordering an unnecessary study re-examining what a decade of service has already proven, it’s clear that Secretary Hegseth is more interested in attacking women service members than…

Building and maintaining the strongest military in the world depends on giving every qualified servicemember a fair chance to meet the required standards to serve our country.

We appreciate your prompt attention to these questions and expect a timely and complete response. Our service members and their families deserve nothing less than a full and honest accounting of the costs of this war.

This lack of transparency undermines confidence that military families and the American people are receiving a complete and accurate accounting of the sacrifices made by those serving in uniform.

As you claim that you take opportunity to provide these grants very seriously, I expect you to provide my serious questions with very serious answers.

Politically motivated delays in the administration of grants jeopardize that critical work from being completed and run the risk of ruining those relationships and the Department’s ability to execute its mission in the future.
