On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."
I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

Nothing better than being back home for breakfast with the family after a busy few weeks in Washington. Hope you’re all able to spend some time with family this holiday season, too.

The federal government should support the development of fusion energy, but the President of the United States should not personally benefit from it.

AI has the potential to transform our economy, but we need to make sure workers and students are ready. I’m glad schools are thinking about how to make sure students use AI as a tool and not a crutch.

This Administration is failing to comply with the law and fully release the Epstein files. The victims deserve justice, and those responsible deserve to be held accountable, but Trump is purposely standing in the way of all of it.

Trump can keep saying the economy is getting better and prices are going down, but Americans aren’t buying it.
Anyone walking the grocery aisle or doing their Christmas shopping can see how Trump is raising their bills.

I took an oath to defend the Constitution, the rule of law, and our First Amendment rights. Which means I won't let this Administration silence me. Because in the Navy, we don't give up the ship.

It’s outrageous Trump is locking up hardworking community members like Kelly Yu while pretending he’s focused on real criminals.
I met Kelly at the ICE detention center in Eloy. She’s a small business owner who’s only ever made this country stronger. She should be freed.

It’s no longer an “if.” Premiums are going up because Republicans in Congress didn’t want to extend the ACA tax credits. Working families deserve better, and I’m not going to stop fighting to lower health care costs.

I learned about the DoD investigation by tweet, and I learned they’re “escalating” it the same way last night. This just shows again how Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. And there's nothing he can do to stop me from fighting for this country.

In America, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we can’t let this President or Secretary of Defense corrupt that. I’m grateful for Jeff Flake’s moral clarity.

More strongman moves from a weak President. Good to see these legislators reject the threats of violence and retribution. They stood up to the bully and did what they believed was right. That's how leaders should act in a Democracy.

There's a lot you could say about this unhinged, late night rant from the President. But the most reckless part is how easily he throws around the word "seditious" whenever someone says something he doesn't like. It undermines our democracy and puts people in danger.

If you’re a billionaire or one of Trump’s family members, then this economy is great.
For everyone else, prices are up, wages are flat, and families are getting screwed.
