The President has America on the brink of war, and is doing so again without Congressional approval. Using our military to seek a regime change is war. Period. Congress - and only Congress - has the authority to declare war under our Constitution.

Excited that students from Spring Hill College visited my office in Washington, DC to discuss the issues they are passionate about. When young people get involved and make their voices heard, our communities are stronger for it.

SNAP update: Judge orders Trump administration to fully fund food stamps in November The judge gave the Trump administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps.

Truly pathetic that a federal court has to force the Trump Administration to feed less fortunate children, elderly, veterans, and disabled people. A truly sad failure of leadership and compassion. Meanwhile, a $300M White House ballroom is the priority....truly can't make this stuff up.

Enjoyed visiting and learning more about Hooks Lake Port in Washington County. This is what my work on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is all about: supporting the infrastructure and industries that are critical to our District.

Had the chance to spend some time with Alabama’s future workers at the Montgomery Academy For Career Technologies. These kids will come out of high school ready for college or to start a career! This is what workforce development looks like!

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This shutdown is the result of their failure.

Today, we celebrate the 78th birthday of the U.S. Air Force. Thank you to everyone who has served and continues to serve our country. I also want to celebrate the Tuskegee Airmen whose heroism shaped history and the Air Force into what it is today.
