The American people are tired of footing the bill for Kash Patel's private jet joyrides.
Q: You flew on a Department of Justice jet to visit your girlfriend. Were any rules broken?

Patel: I think this is another distraction from the work that we are doing here at the FBI

RFK Jr is turning our country's public health agency into a tool to push his own propaganda.

It’s dangerous and could hurt a lot of kids and people across America.

The so-called U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba is serving in that position unlawfully.

She is an unqualified political hack and a complete disgrace.

It’s time for her to go.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The Child Care Recruitment and Retention program is a big damn deal for educators like Leah.

With this budget, we’re able to deliver $25 million to support child care professionals across the Commonwealth – helping folks like Leah afford to stay in the profession they love.

The right to vote is sacred. So we must keep America’s democratic infrastructure strong and secure, and I'm proud to introduce this bipartisan bill to protect our voting systems.

This is something that lots of people can get behind—let's get it done.

Donald Trump threatened my life because he didn't like the constitutional truths I spoke.

Threats of political violence are not how we solve disagreements in America, and all political violence needs to be condemned. Those threats incite violence. But I will not be intimidated.🧵

Republican politicians in Washington have failed to lower costs. Thanksgiving dinner will cost about 10% more this year because of their reckless policies.

The fact that Donald Trump responded to my restating of the law and a bedrock constitutional principle by calling for my death shows exactly what he thinks of our Constitution and the rule of law.

This is about who we are as Americans.

Everyone, especially elected leaders, must be clear in saying all forms of political violence are wrong.

That shouldn’t be hard to do.
