Last summer, I introduced the Persian Gulf Act after Trump threatened to rename it. Today, Pete Hegseth referred to it as the Arabian Gulf. The Persian Gulf has been recognized as such by internat...

Last weekend, I asked people if they know someone who's terrified to live in this country right now. Almost every single hand went up. I urge Congressional colleagues to sponsor my DRAIN ICE Act—t...

Even this Trump Administration can help the Iranian people by appropriating funds for direct-to-cell internet connectivity. I have a bill, the IRAN (Internet Reach and Access Now Act), that does th...

What I witnessed at the Mesa Gateway ICE holding facility was unacceptable. Detainees crammed into cells that were overcrowded at double the capacity. Sick people denied medical care. Women beggi...

I had a heartbreaking conversation with a 25-year-old doctor in Iran. Here’s what he had to say about the war. https://t.co/mxKOrqwlAo

I just conducted an unprompted, late night oversight visit at an ICE holding facility at the Mesa Gateway Airport with @RepGregStanton and @Rep_Grijalva. What we saw was shocking and sick. Well o...

The First Lady is demanding Congressional Republicans hold an open hearing and invite Epstein survivors to testify under oath. I couldn't agree more. @SpeakerJohnson will you listen to the First ...

Donald Trump is mentally unstable and unfit for office. He threatened to “end a civilization,” and a fragile ceasefire doesn't change that. This isn’t partisan. I'm calling on the Cabinet to invok...
