    Direct Quote from : “Yes. If we don't get what we want, one way or the other...I will shut down the government. Absolutely. I am proud to shut down the government for border security...I will take the mantle, I will be the one to shut it down."

    General Jim Mattis will be retiring, with distinction, at the end of February, after having served my Administration as Secretary of Defense for the past two years. During Jim’s tenure, tremendous progress has been made, especially with respect to the purchase of new fighting....

    Facebook gave 150+ companies access to personal user data—including the ability to read private messages. This is a violation of privacy & Congress must pass legislation to protect user data—clearly Facebook cannot be trusted when left to their own devices

    GOP Leadership has once again failed to fund the government, despite having control of the House, Senate, and White House. This week they are kicking the can down the road again and passing a short term solution.

    After the judge acknowledged the seriousness of Flynn’s conduct, he has allowed Trump’s former National Security Advisor to defer sentencing until after he has fully cooperated with the government. It will be important that Flynn also cooperate with our Committee and testify.

    Despite endless claims to drain the swamp, Trump’s cabinet is comprised of people like Ryan Zinke, who racked up 15 ethics investigations. He treated taxpayer dollars & our public lands w/ disrespect. His departure is necessary, but we must continue to fight attacks on our planet
