    The president said he’d be “proud” to the government. I couldn’t disagree more. I hope the President comes to his senses and embraces a bipartisan path that keeps the government open.

    Every American should read the 's Broken Promises report and then demand federal investments that live up to America's trust and treaty obligations to Native Americans. The country must not waste another decade of inaction. I'll push Congress to deliver.

    Last night the Senate passed a bill I introduced in the House called the Open Government Data Act! There are so many possibilities for our economy when folks can access data they paid to develop and fund through the nation’s largest angel investor, Unce Sam.

    We just passed a bill that requires all data the govt collects (that isn’t secret or private) to be machine readable and interoperable. It’s data that taxpayers paid for and they deserve access - weather, traffic, census, budget numbers - it’s your info and you should have it.

    Today we remember those affected by the Amtrak Cascades 501 derailment. 1yr on, Congress, Amtrak and the owners of the nation's railroads must work together to install Positive Train Control nationwide. Nobody should die in an accident PTC could prevent.
