Joined DWC Members to demand Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva immediately — and a USCP officer forcefully grabbed me as I was with the group of Members of Congress. We had our congressional pins on.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

Parents of U.S. Marine, Steve Rios, were recently detained by ICE. They were preparing to take Rios and his pregnant sister to breakfast.

His father was deported and the whereabouts of the mother is now unknown. Neither had criminal records.

The criminal is in the Oval Office.

My mom came home from the hospital today for Hospice comfort care. She gets oral morphine every two hours.

The crazy part is that the entire country is running out of morphine. Doctors & nurses here in Ohio are panicking along with me.
