    President Trump said he would be “proud” to shut down the government if he didn't get what he wanted from a Republican-led Congress. He then made a deal that he has now abandoned. This chaos does not make America great; it puts our nation in danger.

    He always puts the safety of Americans and our military first. Sadly, the President has pushed him aside because they disagree on Syria. I worry the White House meeting rooms will soon be vacant of adults.

    General Mattis is an outstanding General, SecDef, and hero who had enough respect for our country to continue serving, even under difficult circumstances.

    The fact that Putin is supportive of this decision should be an indication that it is an alarming idea.

    Revealing our military strategy to everyone in the world, including our enemies, is an avoidable error Trump himself has mocked in the past.

    President Trump’s decision to withdraw American troops from Syria is impulsive and irresponsible. National security experts believe ISIS is still a threat, and the removal of our troops will create a power vacuum in the Middle East.

    I have been a supporter of taking politics out of the redistricting process for many years. Voters ought to be able to choose their elected officials – not the other way around.

    We must restore the faith of the American people in our institutions & get politics out of the redistricting process before lines are redrawn. That's why we've called for 's John Tanner Fairness in Redistricting Act to be included in H.R. 1.

    Six years ago today, 26 families lost a loved one in the massacre. Every life lost to gun violence is a tragedy. It's time for Congress to finally act and pass sensible measures to reduce gun violence.
