A year ago, the House passed my Federal Prison Oversight Act—an important, bipartisan step in improving the safety of prison staff and incarcerated individuals.
It’s since been signed into law and is helping reform our nation’s justice system.

Trump and RFK Jr. say today's kids are "the sickest generation in American history." Is that just a feeling? Here are some facts:
About 46% of children born in the U.S. in 1800 did not live to see their 5th birthday. In 1900, the figure was 24%. Now it's under 1%.

It's a pattern in President Trump's chaotic tariff policy: he first suggests a high number, only to later ratchet it down. Business schools call it the 'anchor effect.'

History was made last night. For the first time in its more than 150-year-old history, Omaha has elected a Black mayor: John Ewing Jr. We are ready to work with the mayor-elect and his team on shared goals, including protecting rights and freedoms. And - if needed - we will hold them accountable.
