The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on the Kavanaugh nomination even though millions of pages of documents from his White House tenure have not been released. The Judiciary Committee is conducting a hearing without knowing basic facts about the nominee’s record.

As students return to their college classrooms, we should be working to ensure their safety, not peeling back their protections against campus sexual assault as Sec. DeVos announced today

Title IX is a cornerstone of federal law to protect students from sexual harassment and sexual assault, and these regulations will hurt victims and make it harder for them to seek justice

This is disgusting. A proposal that could only be made by creatures of the swamp. How about directing some energy towards helping working families instead?

Here’s a few ideas that could use a little White House support: Protecting pension for coal miners and other American workers who are at risk of losing their pensions.

.@realDonaldTrump’s conduct during today’s press conference with Vladimir Putin was dangerous and reckless. I have supported the Administration’s engagement with North Korea and on other matters of foreign affairs because I believe that America is strongest when our foreign policy is bipartisan. However, what occurred today was a new low and profound embarrassment for America.

If President Trump is unwilling to hold Vladimir Putin fully accountable for Russia’s attack on our nation during the 2016 election, then he should cancel this meeting in the wake of yesterday’s indictments. The meeting should only go forward if President Trump is prepared to forcefully confront Russia’s actions.

In a nation with over 700 sitting federal judges, many of whom were appointed by Republican presidents, it is outrageous that President Trump will nominate from a list of just 25 dictated to him by the Heritage Foundation. This list is the bidding of corporate special interests hell-bent on handing health care over to insurance companies, crushing unions that represent working men and women, and promoting policies that will leave the middle-class further behind.

Straight from the pit of hell. Is there a low that’s too low for this Administration when it comes to the treatment of migrant children? texastribune.org/2018/06/27/imm… Every separated child must be reunited NOW. If @realDonaldTrump refuses to stop it, then @SenateMajLdr and @SpeakerRyan should use the power only they have to bring forth legislation to force this inhumane policy to end.

Thus far, the Trump Administration has nominated many far-right judges that put the interests of big corporations ahead of justice and fairness for all Americans. If an individual from the list provided to candidate Donald Trump by far-right organizations like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society is nominated, then I am highly unlikely to support that nominee.

By overturning 40 years of precedent, the U.S. Supreme Court is showing its opposition to the rights of working families and commonsense. If someone directly benefits from the negotiations by a union, it makes sense that they should pay a fee to cover the costs associated with this work and not get a free ride.

The fight for justice for migrant children ripped away from their parents is not over Here are some questions I have for the Administration about the executive order (eo) and their current policy

It is long overdue for President Trump to amend the most egregious element of his cruel and inhumane policy of ripping migrant children from their parents. But substituting a lesser form of cruelty for a greater form is still cruelty. Family detention is far from the only or best solution for the majority of families at the border. In addition, for thousands of children, the damage is already done.

Separating migrant children from their parents is a policy straight from the pit of hell. washingtonpost.com/national/healt… “Their heart rate goes up. Their body releases a flood of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Those stress hormones can start killing off dendrites — the little branches in brain cells that transmit messages.” washingtonpost.com/national/healt…

This ongoing effort to undermine the rule of law is an insult to our nation. nydailynews.com/news/politics/… Any effort to further interfere with Special Counsel Mueller’s independent investigation by issuing pardons would amount to gross abuse of power and place our nation in uncharted waters.

This suit is an outrageous assault by the Administration and congressional Republicans on older Americans, people with disabilities and the 52 million adults with pre-existing conditions.

It is now abundantly clear that in passing a massive tax giveaway to the wealthy, Republicans also believe they signed into law permission for insurance companies to once again come after basic protections for the middle class.

Each day, thousands of Pennsylvanians willingly put their lives on the line to keep us safe. From firefighters to police officers and other first responders, they are there when we need it most. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hear from the brave men and women of the Chester FD and discuss my work on behalf of first responders.

While Bashar al-Assad must be held accountable for his unlawful use of chemical weapons against civilians, the strikes that are being carried out are being done without an authorization from Congress, which is unacceptable In April of 2017, when the Trump Administration first carried out strikes against Syrian forces in response to the use of chemical weapons, I said that additional action required an authorization from Congress

Mr. Mueller’s lifetime of service reflects his commitment to serving the American people with honor, integrity and courage. As a young man, Mr. Mueller served with distinction in the Vietnam War and was awarded a Bronze Star, 2 Navy Commendation Medals, the Purple Heart and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry for his leadership and exemplary service.

Many Republicans in Congress and President Trump created the Dreamers crisis. Now, they have torpedoed every bipartisan proposal, even one that funds President Trump’s border wall, to solve the mess they created. It’s clear that Congressional Republicans and @realDonaldTrump don’t care about the Dreamers or securing our border. They blow hot air about these young people but don’t act. Their only plan is to deport eleven million people, which is unworkable and unrealistic.

This release indicates that many House Republicans have proven once again that, in the Mueller probe, they are recklessly deferential to President Trump, weak on national security and hostile to law enforcement. For months, House Republicans have conducted a coordinated smear campaign against law enforcement, especially the men and women of the FBI who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe from criminals and terrorists.

The Republicans control the House, Senate and the Presidency. We are on the brink of a shutdown because they refuse to do the basic work of governing. The bill we got from the @HouseGOP last night doesn't even have the unanimous support of the @SenateGOP.

Now that we have actual bill text for the GOP tax plan, my staff and I spent the weekend going over all 425 pages. waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/upl… What follows are a few lowlights and where to find the explanation in the Joint Committee on Taxation description: jct.gov/publications.h…
