Here is the reality. We have the votes to impeach Pete Hegseth tomorrow.

Mike Johnson knows it, we know it.

So he’s sending us all home to avoid the vote. www.cnn.com/2026/09/16/p...

I have the honor to represent thousands of Marines, Sailors and families who serve. I take nothing about their safety lightly.

When the Washington Post reported Friday that at least 22 Americans have died in the Iran war, four more than the Pentagon has acknowledged, that demands a serious answer.

Don Jr. took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch close to Putin, for his extravagant wedding in the Bahamas.

Now, we're told he paid it back.

Two 17-year-olds who say they were on their way to enlist in the Marines were pepper sprayed and detained for eight hours by ICE agents in Texas, after one was allegedly told "your parents can't help you now.”

Trump says CNN, Politico and MS NOW are banned from the White House because he doesn’t like their reporting.

This is absurd and illegal.

Donald Trump asked the crowd in Dallas to raise their right hands and pledge to cheat in an election. Ten years of his telling people the other side steals and cheats, and here's where we are.

The joke will be on all of us.

Last month was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth. Donald Trump couldn’t care less, but you should.

Here’s why.

Does anyone actually believe the “High IQ” president will save us from the potential negative consequences of AI?

Congress writes the laws.

Let's write some before we find out how the IQ holds up.

Trump says AI doesn’t need guardrails, calls growing concerns ‘a hoax’
The president also alleged the existence of a “sick conspiracy” against AI and data centers at a time when Americans are increasingly concerned about the technology.

The Trump administration wants a much freer hand over the California coast. Offshore drilling. Seabed mining. Projects where California communities could lose much of the voice they have today.

The House is mostly on vacation until November. I'm signing a letter with my colleagues telling Speaker Johnson to call us back to deal with AI regulation before it’s too late.

25 years ago today, I had just graduated from college.

I remember the shock of hearing that a plane had hit the World Trade Center, and then the horror of watching live on television as the second plane hit.

Last night in Dallas, President Trump made Americans an offer. $5,000 for every adult citizen in America.

Is it real? No. Let’s call it what it is: a con.

Donald Trump’s 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery doesn’t have congressional approval. It doesn’t even have final sign-off from the commission that oversees DC’s monuments. 

But of course, that’s not deterring the president or his apologists.

Doug Burgum, the interior secretary, announced plans to start work on the site of the 250-foot-tall triumphal arch. Final approval of the project is still pending.

The 8-hour work day, the weekend, OSHA standards, pensions, America’s middle class. None of it was given. All of it was hard-fought and won by labor.

It's our job to keep up that fight, especially under an administration intent on undermining worker protections.

We are living through the most anti-labor administration in American history, but unions aren’t backing down and neither am I.

Proud to stand with them and fight for working people every day in Congress.

Rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure could take up to $100 billion, and increasing production will take years.

If Trump is so sure this won’t cost America a dime, let’s pass my legislation to stop U.S. tax dollars from rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.

Mike Johnson and House Republicans just canceled two weeks of House votes before the election.

What a joke.

Families can’t afford groceries, rent, or their utility bills. War in Iran is raging, tariffs are out of control, and the House Republican plan is to send everyone home.

Trump thinks he’s the second coming of Teddy Roosevelt. What a joke. TR protected 230,000,000 acres for the public forever. Meanwhile, Trump wants to hand a corner of Yosemite to a buddy of his to build who knows what.

You can’t make this stuff up.
