Trump never should have inflicted higher costs and pain on the American people. The affordability squeeze is real and his unlawful tariffs made it worse. My neighbors deserve better!

U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor Statement on Trump’s Latest Gift to Polluters

Trump has cemented his legacy as the most pro-polluter, anti-health President in history.

The EPA is supposed to protect our families and our environment, but they rely on misleading Department of Energy reports that cherry-picks data to support the Republican, pro-polluter sellout.

As we celebrate America turning 250 years old, we must not forget the significant contributions of Black service members who bravely defended our country and never wavered in devotion to America and liberty and justice for all.

It was an honor to celebrate with my neighbors at the City of Tampa's Black History Month event.

With a focus on Tampa Bay area veterans, our country is better because of the honoree's service.

President Obama and Michelle Obama served America with respect for all people, expanded affordable health care, honored our veterans and inspired us on in progress.

The current occupant of the White House is not worthy to be our president. He’s the lowest of the low.

Castor Stands Firmly Against the Trump Administration's ICE and CBP Brutality

This is a moral moment for America.

After the brutal murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the widespread abuse of power by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), I cannot support one penny more for the lawless actions of the DHS.

Dictators arrest journalists.

In America, we take pride in our 1st Amendment freedom of the press and freedom of speech. I stand with the journalists who are documenting history and Trump’s ongoing abuses of power.

They must be freed immediately.

This ongoing abuse has to stop. I am calling for a full and impartial investigation into the deaths of Renee Good, Alex Pretti and all others under Trump's DHS.

This morning, I signed on to Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Secretary Noem & DHS employees have systemically violated the rights and privacy of Americans, terrorized our cities, and obstructed Congress.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Update from MN Gov Walz &AG Ellison re Alex Pretti murder &siege in Minneapolis: over 3K armed ICE/fed agents is out of control

Republicans must join Dems to constrain ICE &repeal billions of taxpayer $ in Big Ugly Bill for ICE whose budget now larger than all fed law enforcement agencies combined!

It’s sickening to see ICE harass and kill another person today.

Trump must immediately end the siege, and allow local law enforcement to keep the city safe.

These investments will lower the cost of living, boost opportunities through skills training, create jobs, support Veterans, and address housing affordability.

I’m grateful to my Democratic colleagues for standing strong to reject extreme cuts pushed by MAGA Republicans.

President Trump's shredding of long-term friendships and alliances is fiscally harmful and dangerous.

Americans want to afford the roof over their head and the food on their table. If President Trump really believed in 'America First' he would listen to our neighbors.
