I have been clear that as long as the President continues to weaponize ICE, we cannot fund this lawless agency. Today, DHS funding expires despite earnest, commonsense reforms proposed by Democrats to put clear guardrails on ICE.

Do you remember the SAVE Act? It’s back on the House floor, and worse than before. The new SAVE America Act would require voters to provide a birth certificate or passport as proof of citizenship AND it would force states to turn over private voter data to the Department of Homeland Security.

BREAKING: Six Republicans just joined House Democrats to end the President’s chaotic & reckless tariffs on Canada. There isn’t a lot of good news to share from the House floor, but this is a really important win for small business owners, our local economy, & our neighbors facing skyrocketing costs.
