    I'm donating my salary from the government shutdown to YouthWorks in ND. It's a critical organization doing important work to combat youth homelessness and help stop human trafficking.

    It's unfortunate for families & workers that the federal gov't shut down again - the 3rd time in the past 2 yrs. As I've done before, I'll donate my salary from the shutdown. It's the right thing to do when so many are feeling the impacts of this poor move by the administration.

    For two years, I've been asking for the administration's plan for border security at the Southern Border. Crickets. No corporate board room would give a CEO money for a project without a plan.

    I have already supported $5 billion once for border security and Republicans couldn't get it across the finish line.

    Just landed back in DC to vote no on the CR. The Senate already passed a bipartisan bill to fund the government. Now the House needs to pass it and the President should sign it.

    And the - which looks very similar to the bipartisan Senate bill I helped write, negotiate, and pass - was just signed into law. This is what working and getting results up until the very end looks like.

    Some good news: Congress passed my bill to support Native American students so they can get a good education and my bill to help combat human trafficking by making sure health professionals are trained to identify trafficking and report it. Both will soon be signed into law.

    GOP Rep. Bob Goodlatte has been single-handedly + mysteriously blocking a badly needed bill, , that would help abused Native women. It probably won't become law because of him. I figured out his reason for doing this. Surprise: it's lame!

    Another day has gone by with Rep. Bob Goodlatte single-handedly blocking a badly needed bill that helps abused Native women. It passed the Senate unanimously. It would easily pass the House, if it got a vote. I think I will report on this all day.

    Good morning. A single GOP congressman is blocking a bill to help abused Native women. It sailed through the Senate + was on track to pass the House. It's on the verge of expiring if he doesn't let it go. won't say why he's doing this.
