What does it take to improve American education? Rashawn Ray sits down with Reps. Mark Takano and Kevin Kiley—two former teachers now serving on the House Education and Workforce Committee—for a candid conversation on AI in schools, school choice, and the path to bipartisan reform. https://t.co/4Uv7fM6ynF
While I agree that sanctuary city policies are dangerous for Americans, removing @CBP employees from airports in sanctuary jurisdictions would have a negative impact on millions of Americans outside of these areas. @conanNBCLA
I applaud the South Carolina Senate for declining to redraw congressional lines for partisan gain. Yet several other states, Democrat and Republican alike, are moving forward with gerrymanders. Congress must put an end to this mayhem.
South Carolina Republicans have declined to redraw their congressional districts ahead of the November elections, blocking a redistricting measure that would have eliminated the state's only Democrat-held seat. https://t.co/b6zWloalkI
Leader Jeffries claims he wants a national prohibition on mid-decade redistricting. Yet he has not supported my legislation to do just that. I'm calling on the Minority Leader to stand by his words with actions that will stop this plague on our democracy.
A discharge petition that would force a House vote on new security assistance to Ukraine has reached 218 signatures - it could be voted on later this month

Axios: Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) moves to force vote to ban mid-cycle redistricting
Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-Calif.) introduced a discharge petition Tuesday to force a House vote on his bill banning mid-cycle redistricting, Axios has learned.
Kiley's bill would prohibit states from redrawing congressional maps more than once every 10 years, after the census, unless a federal court orders it.

The phenomenon of gerrymandering represents everything that is wrong with our politics. It represents partisanship run absolutely amok. I joined @AudieCornish on @CNNThisMorning to discuss.
Retail crime affects everyone and addressing it requires strong partnerships with law enforcement. During Police Week, I’m proud to support legislation that helps keep our communities safe. https://t.co/jT8ao31LVB #FightRetailCrime
I'm glad Virginia will continue to have fair district lines, just as I've opposed mid-decade gerrymandering in other states. No one is 'winning' the redistricting war. Our democracy is losing. We need independent redistricting and fair representation in every state.
The CCP-linked fugitive who ran the secret Reedley bio lab has been convicted and faces 20 years in prison. The lab contained malaria, HIV, E. coli, and possibly Ebola.
A similar lab was just found in Vegas. Congress needs to pass our bill to uncover any other CCP-backed labs.
DERAILED: Gavin Newsom’s train-to-nowhere is now estimated to cost $231 billion.
The project has already burned through $18 billion in taxpayer’s cash, so where did all that money go?
The Redistricting War is about to spin further out of control. It's time for Congress to assure all Americans fair representation by (1) passing my bill to prohibit mid-decade redistricting and (2) having independent commissions for every state.
The CA Legislature voted down Kayleigh's law, which lets survivors of sexual assault get a permanent restraining order against their abuser. This is especially alarming since the CA Parole Board recently released several serial child molesters who were serving life sentences.
San Francisco middle schools outlawed algebra for a decade in the name of "equity." The result was just the opposite: wider achievement gaps and worse overall student learning.
Now, incoming students at even selective CA colleges can't do basic math and need remedial courses.
The Redistricting War has been a national disaster. I will be sponsoring legislation to end partisan gerrymandering by having congressional districts drawn by independent commissions in every state.
We need a full assessment of all security vulnerabilities in connection with Saturday's attack and greater congressional oversight into our overall preparedness. We also need to fund Homeland Security immediately and to dial down the rhetoric in political discourse. I joined @CNN's @Boris_Sanchez to discuss.
