As the Former Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, I know firsthand how the overly complicated and confusing duty status system denies our servicemembers the fair compensation and benefits they’ve earned.

At yesterday’s House Armed Services Committee hearing, I pressed the Commander of U.S. Africa Command, General Anderson, on why this administration dismantled USAID and how that affects our regional diplomacy. The president is alienating our key allies and leaving a void for our competitors to fill.

Small business owners are the backbone of our economy, and we must give them the support they need to succeed. That’s why I co-lead the Protecting Small Business Competitions Act to safeguard small businesses and protect their right to compete for government contracts.

Recruiting didn’t go up because we changed the Department of Defense to the Department of War. It went up because we started investing in recruiting again, plain and simple.

When I was at the Pentagon as the Undersecretary of Personnel and Readiness, every promotion for every general and flag officer in the U.S. military came across my desk. Never did we ever talk about quotas for race or gender. Everything that the military does has been based on merit.

The Trump battleship isn’t what the Navy wants or needs. It’s another fool’s gold vanity project that Trump can stick his name on. This is a waste of taxpayer money that helps no one.

The American people are fed up with Trump’s illegal war on Iran and the sky-high gas prices it’s causing. I joined @CNN.com today to call for an end to the president’s expensive and unpopular war.

It’s time to get this long overdue policy change across the finish line and pass my bill, the Duty Status Reform Act.

TSA agents aren’t getting paid and tens of thousands of Americans are stuck in hours long security lines. The House could end this TODAY. But Speaker Johnson doesn’t want to.

As a Catholic, I reject the president’s treatment of the first American Pope. I joined @CNN.com yesterday to express my agreement with the Pope’s stance against Trump’s illegal war on Iran.

Raccoon Thoughts 🦝: Tariffs were ruled illegal because they weren’t approved by Congress. It's not about party, it’s about process. The Constitution gives Congress the power over trade. Checks & balances only work when we actually follow them. Rule of law matters. #tariffs
