Everything that's already been authorized and certified is already in motion, and current FISA authorizations will continue unaffected, at least through March 17, 2027.
Maybe the threat that we’re not going to support you will finally get you guys serious about it.
Nothing in DOJ’s statement dissolves this blatantly unconstitutional fund which was neither authorized nor appropriated by Congress.
We don’t know who’s speaking, we don’t know what their real motivations are, and the things that they do talk about may be completely different from why they’re involved.
This is pure fraud and highway robbery. No one can be both plaintiff and defendant in the same case.
Strong democracy means that we use a system where every vote counts, whether you are voting early or on primary day.
We need rules for these primaries that will lift up the voices of these many talented Democrats in order to improve our party’s prospects.
Ranked-choice voting offers a shift in emphasis – from destroying the rest of the field to unifying it.
If we want to produce the strongest nominee and then unify quickly and decisively to take back the White House, let’s choose the right rules, starting with ranked-choice voting.
So, to the extent that he wants to give a million dollars to each of 1,600 pardoned rioters and insurrectionists, we think that that’s an unconstitutional use of money.

In a cash bail system in Florida, Jeffrey Epstein was freed and allowed to go operate his dubious affairs before he was convicted. In the Federal system, there was no bail. He was denied bail because he was clearly a flight risk and a…
I applaud the implicit concession it wasn't serious. But in any event, it would not have been relevant because studying what goes on in one office is not relevant. Now, if you want to take the Attorney General's handiwork and turn it into…
I rise to support and will vote for H.R. 5625, the Cashless Bail Reporting Act, because it would simply direct the Attorney General to publish a list of State and local jurisdictions that permit cashless bail. This is already publicly…
Mr. Speaker, another gigantic, logical leap in this legislation just occurred to me, which is that the Republicans are blaming the bail funds for this or that person getting out of jail. They have skipped over a major step, which is the…
The monitor serves at the discretion and the pleasure of the judge. If the judge thinks the monitor is doing a bad job or feathering his nest or taking money, the judge would get rid of the monitor immediately. That is up to the judge. If…
We consider the safety of the people to be the highest law that there is, along with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, this administration has been trampling all of it. We saw what happened in Minneapolis where we had…
Look, it is unfortunate that we have reached this place, Madam Speaker. Every prior Congress has been able to honor the police on Law Enforcement Week. Yet, they insisted on scribbling polemical, partisan graffiti, attacking Democrats and…
The worst Congress in modern American history cannot even write a resolution praising law enforcement that maintains bipartisan support-- something that every other Congress, Democratic or Republican, has been able to do--because they are…
President Washington closed that letter to the congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, this way. He said: "May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabits…
President Washington, in the summer of 1790, penned a letter to the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island. In it, he explained the key advantage that would set our new Republic apart from all prior nations. Here in the United States, he…
