Republicans’ ending of Intelligence Committee’s Russia probe is disappointing but not surprising
With less than eight months to go before our next national election, House Republicans on the Intelligence Committee just shut down an investigation critical to the defense of our democracy. Unfortunately, the premature conclusion of our Russia probe was not surprising, as I have long predicted that my colleagues across the aisle would take this regrettable action.
What I Saw in Kyiv
I last visited Kyiv in April 2014, when the energy in the city was still electric. For months, Independence Square—dubbed the Euromaidan by Ukrainians seeking to tug their country out from under Russia’s grasp—had been occupied by protesters and police as unrest gripped the city in the dead of the Ukrainian winter.
Scuttled effort to weaken OCE hurts efforts to win back public trust
An individual cannot be an effective leader without trust. Less than two months ago, Americans across the country exercised their most fundamental right in our democracy – the right to vote. They made their voices heard at the ballot box; casting their choice for the men and women they trust to represent and serve them in Congress.

Fortunately, we’ve come a long way since 2009. The unemployment rate is below five percent, household wealth now exceeds pre-crisis levels, and foreclosure rates are at pre-crisis levels.
Caught Our EyeCongress circles the globe on private dime in 2014
Congressional staff and their bosses spent weeks off Capitol Hill in 2014 flying around the world on nearly 2,000 privately sponsored trips. The globe-trotters visited 50 countries over the course of 2014, and spent $5.1 million. For the top 10 most expensive trips, travelers spent more than $20,000 on each. The top 10 most popular countries other than the U.S. for trips were: Of the 1,942 trips, one was the most expensive since LegiStorm began tracking trips in 2000.
More Troops, Not Nukes, Will Deter Russia
