I said I’d rip up Trump's budget & write a new one—and that's what we did.
The Senate passed 5 funding bills that reject Trump's catastrophic cuts while splitting off the DHS bill.
I fought hard to protect funding families count on—from housing to cancer research.

Justice Department Arrests a Journalist for Doing Journalism
Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents for covering a protest at a Minneapolis church. Multiple judges rejected the case. That didn’t stop the administration.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.
