Thx to everyone who has contacted me in regards to #NetNeutrality. Below is the letter I sent to Chairman @AjitPaiFCC today to ensure the continuation of a free and open #internet.

or some other senior leadership figure on the job of making sure each and every child is returned to their parents. And the President should fire Stephen Miller now. This is a human rights mess. It is on the President to clean it up and fire the people responsible for making it.

We need the memos, Comey should testify and I still believe that a special prosecutor should be named.

It's exactly corruption and abuses like this that doesn't help our veterans. @SecShulkin must RESIGN now. @realDonaldTrump ran on accountability, it starts here. VA chief Shulkin, staff misled ethics officials about Eurotrip, report - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/politics/…

I’m glad the President ended the border separation policy, but there’s more work to do. I’m going to the border in TX myself this weekend to see the situation firsthand and learn more about what needs to get done. The President should put a General, a respected retired CEO....

Thanks for the update Chairman @AjitPaiFCC..... however, I am still awaiting a response to my letter yesterday on #NetNeutrality. My staff has called your @FCC office and received no answer. Wonder why people are a bit upset?
A pleasure speaking with @MarketplaceTech's @mollywood about #NetNeutrality, @FCC & @FTC consumer protection going forward, and how the @FCC is closing the #digitaldivide through more investment in high-speed infrastructure. marketplace.org/shows/market…

Given @AjitPaiFCC and the @FCC lack of response to my letter, I will be submitting legislation pertaining to #netneutrality. This conversation belongs in #Congress. As I draft this bill email me your suggestions to: netneutrality.coffman@mail.house.gov

I'm deeply disappointed and troubled by the lack of response from the @FCC in regards to today's vote, as well as ignoring multiple Congressional calls for a delay. A decision decision of this magnitude, should take place in Congress, & not by unelected bureaucrats in Washington

The Presidents DACA announcement couldn’t have come at a worst time. Easter is a day for many to rejoice and come together— not to put more anxiety on young people. It’s time for Members on both sides of the aisle to join forces and find a permanent solution for DACA recipients.

Mattis has been the adult in the room when it comes to national security policy and I find his impending departure alarming. For the last two years he has been a buffer between the chaos of the White House and our military.

I really hope that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump finally fires @DeptVetAffairs Secretary @SecShulkin as he will never clean up the incompetence and corruption at the VA. As the only Member who has made this call, our VETS deserve better!! #FireShulkin now.

While this is a first step in the right direction, Ms. Simpson's "retirement" is not enough. This no way exonerates @SecShulkin for intentionally misleading the @DeptVetAffairs ethics officials. C'mon, our Veterans deserve better! #FireShulkin usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

My bill, the ‘#Veterans Treatment Court Improvement Act’ will soon become law! As a Marine Corps combat veteran, it’s an honor to be able to serve those who have sacrificed so much for our country! 🇺🇸
Our veterans represent the best of our country, and we owe them our best during their time of need. The Veterans Treatment Court Improvement Act passed unanimously in Congress, and now it heads to the president’s desk to become law.

I hate to break the news to President Trump, but the Supreme Court isn’t going to let him rewrite immigration law by executive fiat, nor should they. We have a Constitution. The President should take heed and follow it.

A red-line has likely been crossed again by Assad. If observers are not allowed into Syria to verify if chemical weapons were used, then we must assume they were, and the U.S. must respond with a proportionate attack to send a clear message— that such atrocities must stop.

Anti-Semitic hatred was clearly the cause of today’s mass murder and we, as a country, must be more vigilant in recognizing that extremists who openly profess hate are also fully capable of acting out their aggression.

I just left the House floor where I signed onto the discharge petition to proceed with the #QueenoftheHill legislative process-- which would bring 4 immigration bills to the floor for debate, amendment and a vote! The time to get this process moving for #Dreamers is now.
