“I’m grateful that last spring I was able to help secure the release of military spouse Deisy Rivera Ortega from ICE detention after she was arrested with no warrant and no explanation. But she should never have been in that situation in…

“The Trump Administration’s actions are inhumane, and they’re disastrous from a national security perspective. We don’t need our troops who are heading into a firefight to be worried about whether their husband or wife is going to get…

“It’s a betrayal to our heroes to have a family member detained or deported by the same nation they sacrificed to defend. No servicemember should be forced to choose between fulfilling their military obligations and protecting their…

President Trump is fundamentally unable to manage the United States’ relationship with the People’s Republic of China.

I worry that it’s going to be a repeat of that and President Trump basically spends too much time sucking up to President Xi.

He’s not very good at making deals with the PRC that they actually follow through on.

Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy made it crystal clear that compensation strengthens staffing…How does withholding a pay increase Congress has already funded ‘supercharge’ that workforce or improve retention?
