Purchasing or seizing Greenland – both absurd ideas – would cost America dearly, alienating our allies and emboldening our enemies.
The NO NATO for Purchase Act makes clear that President Trump’s obsession with Greenland does not reflect the will of Congress or the American people.

Last month's 'peace' plan to end the war in Ukraine was a Russian menu. We cannot build peace on a promise from Putin.
I urge my Republican colleagues to join the push to vote on the Ukraine Support Act, which would undermine Russia's war machine & give Ukraine the support needed to win this fight.

The Trump Admin is undermining the FBI’s vital law enforcement & national security mission by continuing to deprive it of a secure, consolidated facility. I commend AG Brown & County Executive Braveboy for their leadership in holding the admin accountable for trying to abandon the Greenbelt project.
