We mourn the tragic killing of two brave firefighters in the line of duty in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and our hearts go out to those impacted by this ambush. This was a senseless act of violence against first responders who work hard every day to protect our communities.

Deciding if congressionally approved funds are frozen illegally is not a “partisan opinion” - it’s a fact. Congress writes our laws, not OMB. DOT must release these funds.

Outright cancelling funding for disaster preparedness projects that Congress approved is breaking the law. Americans deserve leaders who work to protect their safety – not cut corners.

There are ways to cut waste without slashing essential services. Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters’ MEGABYTE Act has saved taxpayers more than $4 billion by improving how the government buys software since it was signed into law in 2016.

Americans deserve qualified, independent watchdogs who will work to cut waste, fraud and abuse. These Inspectors General nominees’ partisan biases and conflicts of interest are deeply concerning.

ICYMI: Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters pressed @Sec_Noem about reauthorizing and expanding DHS counter drone authorities before they expire. Drones pose security threats to our infrastructure and large public gatherings, and law enforcement must have the tools to prevent attacks.

This is a clear-cut example of how President Trump is using his office to line his own pockets. Accepting millions from foreign investors who are trying to buy influence with the White House is corruption.

Congress’s independent, non-partisan watchdog has confirmed: The Trump Administration is breaking the law by blocking funds approved by Congress on a bipartisan basis. Using this money as Congress directed is NOT optional – the President must follow the law.
