Great to meet so many members of our AV community at the Poppy Festival as we head into our first re-election!

My NASA career taught me the impossible is possible with a clear goal and resources. Yesterday’s Artemis launch is a great reminder that we can solve big problems in Congress, but it's high time we become more bold, fast, and innovative.
Witnessed history today. Proud of the amazing team at NASA and all the contractors. Long way still to go but a very successful start. Godspeed to the astronauts! 🇺🇸
Even something as small as this has significant repercussions. Someday, we will return to the American ideal where everyone is held to the same standards, and adherence to one political party does not influence actions taken at the highest levels of government.
Every day, through pardons of criminals and dismissals of investigations, the administration obscures the line between right and wrong.
This is bad for our nation, it's bad for our military, and it's bad for future generations.
Their plan includes cutting health care assistance that the government provides to working families to cover those costs. At a time when people are stretched thin at the grocery store and the gas pump, we should not be ripping away yet another hard-earned benefit.
The majority in Congress is considering slashing health care to help pay for the war in Iran.
I will keep fighting and voting for our communities here in DC, so I can't attend events on Saturday like the AVBOGA Vietnam Vets Welcome Home Event and No Kings Day rallies.
I'll keep you updated as I work to re-open our government agencies.
The majority in Congress refuses to let us vote on a bipartisan agreement that has passed the Senate to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.
So we are stuck in the Capitol tonight waiting to vote on a bill from the Freedom Caucus with no chance of passage in the Senate.
Heartbreaking situation in Lake Hughes. Hundreds of dogs and cats are now in county care after what may be the largest rescue of its kind.
If you’re able to step up, consider adopting or fostering today, and help these animals find safe, loving homes: locator.lacounty.gov/animal/shelt...
Will they release supply from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (which the President decided not to refill last year when prices were low)? Why is the US removing sanctions on Russian oil sales when they know proceeds will fund the war in Ukraine? (3/4)
The American public has the right to know what the Administration's plan is for gas and energy prices. Will they order the Navy to start escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, risking the lives of American sailors? (2/4)
The war with Iran is leading to some of the highest oil price spikes we've seen in modern history. This doesn't just lead to skyrocketing gas prices — higher fuel costs ripple through shipping and supply chains, driving up the cost of food and everyday goods. (1/4)
Ran into the crew of NASA's Artemis 2 mission in advance of the State of the Union.
Very soon, these American heroes will become the first humans to orbit the Moon in over 50 years!
The administration just announced new tariffs that will drive up everyday costs for working families. Now tariffs are being used to pressure our NATO allies over Greenland.
These are our closest partners. Undermining that trust carries real consequences for America’s economy and diplomacy.
Wildfires are the biggest issues facing our communities, and our entire country. As we mark the anniversary of last year’s devastating fires, here are the five areas we need to work on now.
I went into the burn zone earlier last year to hear directly from our firefighters and neighbors. Wildfires are burning faster than ever, our firefighters are stretched thin, and our communities are vulnerable. Listen to our conversation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0E4...
One year ago today, wildfires tore through our communities. We lost lives, homes, and businesses, and many families are still searching for relief.
My congratulations to Jared Isaacman, who was just confirmed as NASA Administrator.
NASA needs dedicated, inspired leadership that appreciates the different missions of the agency, from exploration to science to aeronautics.
I look forward to working with Administrator Isaacman on these goals.
I’m praying for the victims and survivors in Providence today, the 13th anniversary of Sandy Hook. We are failing the next generation — we must do more to advance gun safety.
I’ve gotten to know Mia, who was shot in the Saugus school shooting, and she is an incredible young leader. The thought that she, and others, have now gone through another attack is unconscionable.

From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing everyone a warm, safe, and restful holiday with the people you love. 🦃🍁
As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, prices are continuing to climb.
Why is this happening? Let me walk you through it:
This administration continues to use their political power to target opponents — a dangerous and un-American tactic that we must all speak out against.

Unfortunately, the bill we voted on last night -- after the House has been out of session for nearly TWO MONTHS -- does nothing to tackle rising costs and the health care crisis facing millions of families across America. I opposed the bill, and I will keep fighting for my district.
For weeks, I asked my colleagues to return to Washington and work with me to reopen the government, bring costs down, and protect health care.
