A judge who orders this administration to do something, but then fails to ensure their order is obeyed, is like a patient with a deadly infection who takes the first couple antibiotic pills but then stops. The patient isn’t cured. And now the disease’s resistance to the next treatment is stronger.

On Memorial Day we honor the service members who gave their lives for our nation, and the loved ones who bear the burden of their loss. That is a sacrifice that cannot be repaid. As we work toward peace, let us never forget those who have served on our behalf.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Your data shouldn't be up for grabs just because a company files for bankruptcy, especially your genetic data. That's why Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Grassley, and I introduced a bipartisan bill to update the bankruptcy code to protect this sensitive information when companies file.

🚨This is a HUGE escalation and a deliberate effort to use the government against Trump's enemies. Weaponizing the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification against Harvard to punish them for pushing back is a new low — and needlessly punishes thousands of innocent students.

This intolerable attack on Harvard’s independence and academic freedom is plainly government retaliation for Harvard’s speech standing up for itself and the rule of law. America must rally to the side of Harvard and its students in court, in Congress and in our communities.

In the early morning hours when no one was watching House Republicans passed a bill that takes health care away from 13.7M Americans & raises grocery costs for 3M Americans—all to give the top 0.1% tax breaks of $250,000. Their “big beautiful bill” is really a big betrayal.
