I'm 71 years old. In the last decade or 2 of life. I never before knew how much I love my democratic America. It no longer looks like I will die in a democracy. If I can't die in a democracy I will die fighting for mine.

The Newport rescue helicopter keeps coastal communities safe—that’s why I worked with the Newport community to keep the helicopter where it belongs. The Coast Guard assured me (in writing!) it would remain—and now the courts are backing that up!

When we left Delaney Hall today, a detainee told us “this is not the America that we dreamed of.” They thought they would be able to come here and have a better life.

Recalling career Ambassadors is a reckless move that harms America’s credibility and does nothing to protect the interests of Americans. This administration should be expanding international engagement, not politicizing the foreign service. I urge Secretary Rubio to reverse course.
Trump removes nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial positions
The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of President Donald Trump’s “America First” priorities.
