Cryptocurrency is a notoriously risky asset that is vulnerable to financial crashes.

But Senate Republicans voted down my amendment that would have prevented American taxpayers from being on the hook to pay for a crypto bailout.

Secretary Noem has received more money than anyone in the history of the Department of Homeland Security.

She has used that money to hire thousands of new, undertrained ICE agents to attack our communities.

Her offer to testify before the Judiciary Committee in five weeks is woefully inadequate.

Americans have lost more than $333 million to crypto ATM scams. I introduced an amendment to a crypto bill that would give law enforcement the tools to go after these scams and their perpetrators, but Senate Republicans just voted it down.

Instead of going after drug smugglers, child predators, and human traffickers, the Trump Administration is wasting valuable resources targeting peaceful protestors in Chicago and Minneapolis. This Administration continues to make Americans less safe.

The American people know what they saw in Minneapolis.

ICE and DHS are terrorizing communities, ripping apart families, and killing Americans.

We must rewrite the DHS bill to address these well-documented abuses. Anything less is a non-starter.

🚨BIG NEWS: This is the moment the Senate passed my bill to combat nonconsensual, sexually-explicit deepfakes.

Grok is out of control. AI can’t be unregulated.

I teamed up with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov to stand up for victims who’ve had their autonomy taken from them by AI.

Let’s get it done.
