The failed era of “pay and chase” must end. If a payment looks fraudulent, government must stop it before taxpayer dollars walk out the door. We must never blindly sending out checks without verifying exactly who is getting it. Verify first. Pay next. Accountability starts now.
Trump is desperate to negotiate a deal with Iran.
It will take us back to where we were before the war.
14 servicemembers have been killed. Billions of dollars spent. Gas prices skyrocketed.
The President's strategy has been a failure.
.@HouseGOP passed the SECURE America Act to fully fund ICE and CBP, strengthen our borders, and support the law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe.
Now, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and keep working to deliver on Reconciliation 3.0, bolster national security, tackle fraud, and put America first.
🇺🇸⚽️ Let’s GO Team USA!
FIFA World Cup is here BUT let’s be clear: @FAANews and @FBI PROHIBIT the use of drones in NO DRONE ZONES
Unauthorized flights near stadiums or fan festivals will result in MAJOR fines, criminal penalties, and confiscation of your drone 🙅❌
Last year, Secretary Rubio committed to me that he would maintain programming at the State Department that supports women and girls around the world. But under his leadership, the State Department has terminated dozens of awards and shuttered key offices associated with these programs.
It's ineffective foreign policy to pretend that half of the world's population doesn't exist. Investments in women and girls is a force multiplier and has been proven to strengthen national security outcomes. I urge Secretary Rubio to uphold his commitments – and the law – and implement these critical programs.
Quality sexual and reproductive health care starts with strengthening the skills of health workers.
In #Benin 🇧🇯, courses on sexual and reproductive health and rights (#SRHR) were introduced in health training schools in 2019.
Like Alida, a midwifery student, more than 2,000 students have already benefited from this essential training, equipping them to deliver respectful, inclusive and high-quality care.

Let’s be clear about what the Trump Administration is trying to do.
There are more than 65,000 TSA officers who keep our airports safe every single day, and they still don't receive the same basic pay, protections, and worker rights as other federal employees. These are the people that worked without a paycheck for 76 days during the government shutdown.
So what is the Trump Administration trying to do? Revoke their union contract and the benefits they fought tooth and nail for.
Federal employees should have the right to organize, to negotiate a livable wage, to access affordable child care, and to earn the sick and medical leave they deserve. I introduced an amendment today to make sure no money is used to strip these officers of theirs.
Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobs—part of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts.
Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.
Over the past year, working families across California’s 19th Congressional District have felt the strain of rising prices due to this Administration’s senseless tariff policy and the unauthorized war in Iran. That’s why I questioned Secretary Bessent on how these policies are driving up the costs of food, fuel, and everyday essentials. I’ll continue to fight in Congress to lower costs for working families in CA-19 and across the country.
Would you risk getting stranded in a Mozambique civil war zone with lions nearby to build a crab empire?
Terry Conway did exactly that.
He spent decades traveling to 17 countries in search of the perfect crab—and made a struggling soft crab company go global.
Watch more on @BayA_Innovators.
Yesterday, I spoke on the Senate floor on my plan to introduce legislation and pass the Major Richard Star Act along with other bipartisan legislation to improve health care and benefits for veterans.
It has been over five years since the Major Richard Star Act was introduced, and under both Republican and Democratic majorities, it has failed to pass either the House or the Senate. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to work with me on this path forward to restore benefits to retirees with combat-related disabilities, offset the costs of those benefits, earn the support of veterans and advocates, and pass the Senate and House to be signed into law.
Rep. Roy: "I introduced legislation to simply take the SPLC's tax-exempt status away. Why are they getting a tax benefit, and their donors get a tax benefit for funding them, while they're engaging in targeting conservatives?"

It’s plain and simple: farmers across CA-21 and throughout the country need certainty in the marketplace—not chaos.
At a time when farm bankruptcies are rising, we need to stay focused on ensuring reliable markets for our farmers and producers.
Attacks on critical civilian infrastructure in Ukraine have caused power cuts that disrupt services for children.
With support from @BMZ_Bund through @KfW_FZ_int, UNICEF equipped a hospital in #Kharkiv with solar panels so it can continue providing vital healthcare services.
This week, Democrats notched yet another win by stopping Republicans from further eroding our democracy.
We were able to defeat the FISA extension bill, which would allow our government to spy on American citizens without a warrant.
We must keep up this fight to secure our democracy.
I’m proud America is co-hosting this year’s #WorldCup. It should be a moment of global unity. Instead Trump is denying entry to referees & athletes from countries he doesn’t like.
I want the world to know: most Americans don’t think like him. This is not who we are.
3 drone operators had their machines seized today for violating World Cup flight restrictions in Atlanta. They could also face big penalties and a felony charge. Here's FBI Atlanta Special Agent in Charge Marlo Graham talking about how to Fly Smart. Fly Safe.
Democrats’ suicidal empathy opened our borders & released 18k criminal illegal aliens onto our streets in sanctuary cities.
This is a betrayal to American citizens.
@POTUS signed my provision into law giving ICE the resources it needs to arrest & deport criminal illegal aliens.
