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! 🇺🇸

Hegseth Reverses Army Aircrew Suspension Following Kid Rock Helicopter Incident The Army had been investigating the incident after a video showed Apache helicopters hovering near the musician’s residence in Tennessee.

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.

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...

The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse? | CNN Business The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe.

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.

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.

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.

Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings Mia Tretta was shot in the abdomen in 2019 at a school near LA and Zoe Weissman witnessed a Florida shooting in 2018

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.

Trump official refers Rep. Eric Swalwell for a federal criminal probe over alleged mortgage fraud Swalwell is the latest Democrat to face mortgage fraud allegations from Federal Housing Finance Agency head Bill Pulte, who sent a letter to the Justice Department on Wednesday.

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.
