We could stop this today if the Republican majority stepped up and grew a backbone and would oppose Trump.

I am pissed that the five-time draft dodging coward of a commander-in-chief sitting over there in the White House dares to dishonor the men and women of this country who have put on her collars and sacrificed and served and now lay at rest…

You know what? There are going to be heroes laid to rest in Arlington Cemetery that have given up their lives because of Trump’s war of choice in Iran. Let’s make it clear what this president has done to this nation. His war has driven up…

Our Veterans and our military families deserve better than this. If you want to spend this kind of money on this arch, let’s take that money and spend it on something that really matters. Let’s spend it on DoD schools so our military kids…

Listen, I am here because I am pissed off. I’m pissed because the five-time draft dodging coward of a Commander-in-Chief, sitting over there in the White House, dares to dishonor the men and women of this country who have put on her colors…

The U.S. has to be the leading voice pushing our partners to uphold international rules and pushing back when the PRC bucks these rules to try and strangle our democratically-elected partners, especially Taiwan.

If the PRC’s tactics go unanswered, it’s not hard to imagine President Xi’s next target being a jet carrying civilians or critical air imports to Taipei, Manila or another capital that sparks his ire.

By bullying countries into restricting the Taiwanese president’s flight paths, the PRC is endangering everyone who travels internationally.

A deferred deactivation would mitigate the impact on the lives of our Illinois servicemembers and their families and make sure the Air Force has a plan for how to maintain the repair capability of our fighter fleet before sunsetting this…

Preserving sufficient repair capacity and a skilled maintenance workforce is therefore essential to sustaining geographically dispersed operations without degrading readiness elsewhere.

We are concerned a hasty deactivation of the Central Repair Facility (CRF) mission could risk adequate sustainment of our fighter fleet.

The addition we seek would place a temporary halt on closing or deactivating any Air Force Central Repair Facility (CRF) until September 30, 2028, unless the Air Force assigns a deployable replacement mission.

The stakes are too high to not make any attempt to evaluate the lessons learned before reaching for more conflict and destruction.

I urge the President and Pete Hegseth to listen to myself and my fellow Iraq War Veterans who have seen firsthand the devastation of a needless forever war.

Our National Archives make it possible for families, researchers and communities across the Midwest to access records that tell the story of who we are and where we come from.

We will compete successfully with China only through sustained investment in our own strengths, close coordination with allies and an unwavering defense of our democratic values.

The American people deserve leaders who fight for their financial security and defend our national interests with purpose and measured strategy, not pageantry.

Diplomacy with China remains vital to preventing conflict and protecting American interests, but it must ultimately produce results for hardworking Americans.

No Presidential pet project should receive greater urgency than protecting the people who fly through the National Capital Region every day.

The Trump Administration’s failure to faithfully and urgently implement NTSB’s recommendations is compounded by FAA and DoD wasting finite time and attention to stroke President Trump’s fragile ego by focusing efforts on approvals for the…

Their careers should never be threatened because they weren’t properly informed about which medications they’re allowed to take, or simply sought the mental health care they need.

It’s time our country acts to ensure accountability within our law enforcement agencies and provide justice to those who have lost loved ones.

Laquan McDonald’s death was preventable, and Congress still has yet to do enough to ensure tragedies like his never happen again.

From Chicago to Louisville or anywhere in America, we cannot allow ourselves to accept that Black teenagers, men and women are still being unjustly executed at the hands of law enforcement without judge or jury.

Our aviation system depends on the well-being of our pilots and air traffic controllers, who operate under an immense amount of stress.
