Congress needs to end this illegal war.

Iโ€™m calling on all my colleagues to vote yes on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution today.

โ€œ.. the prospect of Ms. Halligan losing her license could serve as a check on administration lawyers who have been accused by judges of pushing the boundaries of the law or intentionally misleading the courts, which has happened frequently in recent months.โ€

Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony Dโ€™Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if heโ€™s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fianceeโ€™s daughter on payroll.

For most people, stable employment is disappearing and being replaced by precarious, low-paid work. Stability is a thing of the past now. Over 2 billion workers worldwide have no job security or benefits.

Jamie is right. Burchett and others just voted to keep sexual predator records hidden, and nobody in Tennessee will even hear about it.

Itโ€™s genuinely insane that this is even a conversation. We have learned nothing.

We asked elected Republicans at the Capitol about this today, most had barely given the war a second thought. Just whatever Trump does is fine with them.

To recap - Trump just fired Noem because she revealed he let her do some corruption too... replaced her with the most dimwitted obedient senator he could find... and didn't even tell her, letting her do an event here in Nashville where she was the only one who didn't know she was canned

leadership!
