WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), a senior member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, today opposed the Trump Administration’s proposed sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia following reports that U.S. intelligence officials have warned China could gain access to sensitive American military technology through the deal.

“The Trump Administration should not move forward with its proposed sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia when our own intelligence community is warning that it could put the crown jewels of American military technology within reach of the Chinese Communist Party. Beijing has spent decades stealing American intellectual property and technology to close the gap with the United States, and we must not help them do it. We must not sell our most advanced fighter jet anywhere the CCP may be able to get its hands on the technology inside it.”

According to The New York Times, U.S. intelligence assessments have warned that China could acquire F-35 technology through espionage in Saudi Arabia or through the kingdom’s military and security relationship with Beijing. A recent Defense Intelligence Agency report raised concerns about Chinese military access to Saudi bases, Chinese technology in Saudi telecommunications infrastructure, and whether sensitive F-35 sites could be adequately secured. The proposed $24 billion sale includes 48 F-35s and a spare engine, with U.S. officials particularly concerned about protecting the aircraft’s advanced radar and surveillance technology.

Krishnamoorthi has led congressional efforts to prevent the CCP from gaining access to sensitive American technology, including investigations into U.S. investment in Chinese artificial intelligence, semiconductor, and quantum companies, scrutiny of semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales to China, and calls to tighten export controls on advanced chips following the emergence of DeepSeek.

WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) today responded to Palm Bay, Florida City Councilman Chandler Langevin after Langevin wrote, “I won Rajesh. Take your curry and go home,” the latest in a series of attacks he has directed at Congressman Krishnamoorthi, Indians, and Indian Americans.

“I’m staying. So is the curry. America is my home. No bigot gets to decide who is American, who belongs here, or what they have for dinner. That’s the America I’ll always fight for,” said Congressman Krishnamoorthi.

Langevin’s latest attack comes nearly a year after he drew national condemnation for social media posts targeting Indians and Indian Americans, including calling for the government to “deport every Indian immediately.” After Congressman Krishnamoorthi condemned those remarks, Langevin targeted him directly, calling him a “foreign occupier,” mocking his name as “Unpronounceable,” and listing his country of origin as “Tatooine.” In October 2025, the Palm Bay City Council voted to ask Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to suspend Langevin from office and later censured him. Langevin remains a member of the council.

WASHINGTON —Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Congressman Michael Cloud (R-TX) have introduced the bipartisan No FLOCK Act (No Federal License-Plate Observation and Camera Keeping Act), legislation to crack down on abuses of automated license plate reader systems, including Flock Safety, following reports of law enforcement officers using the technology to stalk former partners and others for personal reasons.

“Automated license plate readers can be powerful tools for law enforcement to investigate serious crimes and protect our communities, but they must not become tools for officers to stalk ex-partners or spy on people for personal reasons,” said Congressman Krishnamoorthi (IL-08). “Our investigation into Flock exposed serious gaps in oversight, and this bipartisan bill would put clear limits in place to prevent abuse while preserving legitimate public safety uses.”

“Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund the shredding of their own civil liberties or the growth of a surveillance state. Flock cameras are enabling mass surveillance of Americans, infringing on the Fourth Amendment. This bill is a first step toward reining in unchecked surveillance. We can protect public safety without sacrificing the privacy of Americans,” said Rep. Michael Cloud (TX-27).

Under the legislation, states would be required to enact laws limiting automated license plate readers to specific public safety and toll-enforcement purposes. After a two-fiscal-year implementation period, states that fail to have those restrictions in effect would have 10 percent of the federal surface transportation funding apportioned to them under Section 104(b) of Title 23 withheld each fiscal year.

Permitted uses would include:

• enforcing toll systems;
• identifying stolen vehicles;
• locating missing or endangered people;
• identifying vehicles registered to individuals with warrants for felony offenses; and
• investigating vehicles involved in felony offenses.

A recent Washington Postinvestigation found at least 69 police officials who had been accused, charged with, or convicted of abusing Flock or other license plate reader systems, including to track wives, girlfriends, former romantic partners, and acquaintances.

WASHINGTON — Representatives Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Shri Thanedar (D-MI), Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and Ami Bera (D-CA) today blasted the Trump Department of Homeland Security for using Sikh identity to portray a dangerous, unwanted foreigner while promoting immigration enforcement, warning that the now-deleted “Mr. Singh” post fuels growing racist and xenophobic hostility toward Sikh and South Asian Americans. 

The DHS post depicted a brown, bearded man identified as “Mr. Singh,” told him to “get off our roads,” and warned him to “self-deport or find out.” “Singh” is intimately associated with Sikh identity, and the Members warned that its use in the post was not incidental, but degrading. 

In the letter, the Members write: 

“We write to express grave concern about the increasingly open racial and xenophobic hostility directed at South Asian Americans, particularly Sikh Americans, and about the ways federal rhetoric surrounding immigration and visa policy can reinforce the idea that these communities are suspect, disposable, or less American. South Asians are increasingly cast as economic interlopers, immigration cheats, people unwilling to assimilate, or simply people who do not belong here. Against that backdrop, it was appalling to see an agency of the United States government turn a man called ‘Mr. Singh’ into a racialized movie villain to be driven from the country.” 

The Members also raised concerns that DHS used the post to promote its new ICE tipline for reporting suspected commercial driver’s license fraud, while its social media messaging urged the public to report “illegal aliens on American roads.” They warned that, paired with the depiction of “Mr. Singh,” the campaign invites the public to treat perceived ethnicity, religion, or foreignness, rather than evidence of wrongdoing, as grounds for suspicion and creates an “obvious risk” of race-based profiling. 

The letter cites growing hostility toward South Asian Americans. Stop AAPI Hate found that anti-South Asian slurs in monitored online spaces increased 109 percent between January 2023 and December 2025 and that South Asians accounted for 71 percent of anti-Asian online threats of violence identified between August 2024 and December 2025. The Members also pointed to recent anti-Indian hostility in Frisco, Texas, including rhetoric about an “Indian takeover,” “invaders,” and “anchor babies,” and a mayoral candidate referring to South Asian immigrants as “rats.”

The Members write: 

“When the federal government itself uses a recognizably Sikh identity as shorthand for someone dangerous, incompetent, and unwanted, it reinforces associations that have already had real consequences for Sikh Americans.” 

The Members are urging President Trump to direct his agencies, particularly DHS, to publicly acknowledge the harm caused by the post, establish and enforce standards prohibiting federal communications that traffic in racial, ethnic, religious, or national-origin stereotypes, and make clear that immigration enforcement must never be used to stigmatize South Asian communities.

The Members conclude: 

“South Asian Americans are not abstractions in an immigration debate, nor are they convenient symbols of foreignness. They belong in the communities they have helped build. For millions, this is their country and their home. There should be no room for such hate in our country.”

WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives passed the Water Resources Development Act of 2026 to fund the Army Corps of Engineers for the next two years. Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-01) helped craft this package as a senior member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. The bill includes provisions proposed by Rep. Dina Titus to strengthen water conservation efforts. It now faces consideration in the Senate.

“The prolonged drought and the shrinking Colorado River make it imperative that we think outside the box and use every tool possible to mitigate our water supply crisis,” Congresswoman Titus said. “This legislation strengthens the ability of the Army Corps of Engineers to protect dwindling water supplies. It includes provisions I championed to create an Office of Water Supply, Water Conservation, and Drought Resilience that would promote water conservation and drought resiliency measures at federal water projects such as those to optimize reservoir storage, support aquifer storage and recharge, and institute nature-based solutions in drought-prone areas.”

Another provision Congresswoman Titus led in the package would direct the Army Corps to consider the impact of data centers on water supply and conservation projects.

“We need to better understand the effects data centers will have on water supplies, particularly in desert areas like Southern Nevada prone to drought,” she said. “Two-thirds of proposed data centers are in drought-prone regions, and over 70 of those are in Nevada. WRDA 2026 will help strengthen transparency about how this influx of data centers will impact the water supply.” 

The WRDA 2026 bill also includes provisions championed by Congresswoman Titus to create a pilot program to use natural infrastructure in dryland streams in arid and desert regions.

This program will be beneficial in Nevada, where 88 percent of streams are ephemeral, including the Amargosa River which has been labeled one of the most endangered rivers in the United States.

Provisions led by Congresswoman Titus in the legislation are:

·        Strengthening the Army Corp’s Focus on Water Supply: Builds upon the provisions in WRDA 2024 intended to elevate water supply issues at the Corps of Engineers by establishing a new Office of Water Supply, Water Conservation, and Drought Resilience. The purpose of the office is to promote water supply, water conservation, and drought resiliency at water resource development projects.

·        Drought Resiliency Projects: Establishes two new continuing authorities programs to carry out small-scale projects for drought resiliency and for flood control structure enhancement.

·        Dryland Streams Pilot Program: Directs the Army Corp to research and test the effectiveness of natural infrastructure in dryland streams in arid, semi-arid, and drought-prone areas. This will be beneficial in Nevada, where 88 percent of streams are ephemeral, including the Amargosa River which was recently labeled one of America’s most endangered rivers.

·        Dam Safety: Reauthorizes the dam safety program through 2031 and includes key changes to give states the flexibility they need to protect communities. This is based on the DAMS Act (H.R.5414), a bill Rep Titus co-lead with Rep Van Drew.

·        Truckee River Flood Control Project: Provides needed deauthorizations to ensure continued implementation of the Truckee River Flood Management Project (TRMA). Through this project, the cities of Reno and Sparks, Washoe County, and numerous other stakeholders are working together to reduce the devastating impacts of flooding along the Truckee River in Washoe County, Nevada.

·        Invasive Species: Adds “aquatic invasive species identification, containment, mitigation, and eradication” to the list of authorized projects under the Tahoe Section 108 program.

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-01) and 17 of her colleagues today sent a bipartisan, bicameral letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) requesting a review of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program following reports that wild horses have been slaughtered. Supporters of the letter include Congressional Wild Horse Caucus Co-Chairs Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), Steve Cohen (TN-09), and Mark Pocan (WI-02) as well as Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ). The letter is also endorsed by American Wild Horse Conservation.

“We now know what we have long suspected — that the BLM has been selling off wild horses that end up in slaughterhouses,” said Congresswoman Dina Titus, Co-Chair of the Congressional Wild Horse Caucus. “This practice must end now. I am leading my Congressional colleagues in demanding an investigation of the Wild Horse and Burro Sale Program to ensure wild horses and burros received the protections they are guaranteed by federal law.”

“It’s long past time to fix the ongoing failures in how America’s wild horses are managed. For years, across both Republican and Democrat administrations, we’ve seen alarming reports of hostility toward these animals and serious questions about how the Bureau of Land Management is carrying out its responsibilities. This cannot be a partisan issue. It’s a stewardship issue. I’m proud to join this bipartisan effort to demand accountability, protect our wild horses, and push for real solutions that address the problem head-on.” said Congressman Juan Ciscomani

“The Administration knows what it is doing. They are circumventing the law to benefit landowners who want to get rid of all the wild horses, which are American heritage that we should value. More oversight is needed,” said Congressman Steve Cohen.

“Our laws demand that we protect wild horses, not send them to slaughter. Congress has always worked in a bipartisan manner to protect these animals, and we need accountability and oversight at the Bureau of Land Management immediately. We hope this request will force the Administration to do the right thing,” said Congressman Mark Pocan.

“Wild horses are a national treasure. Year after year, Congress has barred the Bureau of Land Management from slaughtering them. Yet now there is a concerning report that Trump’s agency is recklessly selling wild horses to buyers who slaughter them. I am calling on GAO to investigate,” said Senator Cory Booker.

“The GAO investigation is a critical step toward uncovering and eliminating abuses within the Sale Authority Program, abuses documented through AWHC’s longstanding investigation and recently brought to national attention by The New York Times. No federal program should allow America’s treasured and legally protected wild horses and burros to be funneled into the slaughter pipeline”, said Patricia Miller, Chair, Board of Directors & Executive Director, American Wild Horse Conservation. “We are deeply grateful to Representative Dina Titus and her fellow Congressional Wild Horse Caucus co-chairs, Representatives Ciscomani, Cohen, and Pocan, for leading this essential oversight effort and advancing the agency accountability and lasting reform necessary to ensure these animals receive the protections promised to them under federal law.”  

The letter states: “This request is particularly urgent in light of recent reporting by The New York Times detailing how changes in the BLM’s management of wild horses and burros could exploit a legal loophole to facilitate their movement into the slaughter pipeline. The reporting raises renewed concerns about whether BLM’s Sale Program is being used to circumvent longstanding congressional protections intended to prevent federally protected wild horses and burros from being sold or otherwise funneled into slaughter.

 “A comprehensive GAO review would provide Congress with an independent assessment of whether BLM’s current practices adequately protect federally managed wild horses and burros, comply with congressional directives, and appropriately safeguard taxpayer resources. It would also build upon GAO’s prior examination of BLM’s wild horse management and sales practices, allowing Congress to determine whether safeguards remain effective nearly two decades later.

“Most importantly, this review would help Congress determine whether the Sale Program is functioning as a legitimate placement mechanism or has become a pathway through which federally protected wild horses and burros can predictably enter the slaughter pipeline after title transfers. The recent reporting in The New York Times, together with BLM’s expanded reliance on removals and sales, makes an independent examination especially timely.

“GAO’s findings would provide Congress with the factual basis necessary to strengthen safeguards, improve reporting requirements, ensure compliance with appropriations restrictions and the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, and consider additional statutory changes where necessary.”

The letter asks the GAO to address the following issues:

Implementation of Sale Authority

·         How has BLM implemented its Sale Authority, including “sales without limitation,” since enactment of the 2004 amendments to the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act?

·         How many horses and burros have been sold annually under Sale Authority since 2004, and what trends have emerged over time?

·         How has BLM’s reliance on sales changed following implementation of “The Path Forward” and the substantial increase in congressional funding for removals?

·         To what extent do current group and individual sales operate differently from the historical “sales without limitation” that Congress sought to restrict through appropriations language?

Purchaser Screening and Internal Controls

·         What policies, procedures, and internal controls govern purchaser screening, approval, monitoring, and post-sale oversight?

·         How does BLM identify and manage high-risk or repeat purchasers?

·         Does BLM maintain records of individuals or entities that have purchased large numbers of horses or burros over time, including purchases made through related individuals or entities?

·         What mechanisms exist to identify purchasers with connections to livestock auctions, kill buyers, brokers, slaughter facilities, or other high-risk entities?

·         How frequently has BLM investigated allegations that sold animals entered slaughter channels, and what enforcement actions, including repossessions, purchaser suspensions, or debarments, have resulted?

Post-Sale Outcomes and Enforcement

·         What information does BLM collect regarding the disposition of horses and burros after title transfers?

·         To what extent can BLM determine whether sold animals ultimately enter commercial slaughter channels?

·         Under what circumstances does BLM have authority to repossess or otherwise recover an animal after a sale?

·         What criteria does BLM use to determine whether to intervene when a sold horse or burro is subsequently identified at an auction, kill pen, or other slaughter-related facility?

·         How many horses and burros has BLM repossessed following a sale during the past ten years, and what circumstances led to those actions?

·         How many purchasers have been suspended, debarred, or otherwise restricted during the same period?

·         Does BLM distinguish between adoption and sale outcomes when reporting placement success to Congress and the public?

Compliance with Congressional Direction

·         Is BLM administering the Sale Program in a manner consistent with annual appropriations language prohibiting the destruction of healthy wild horses and burros or their sale for processing into commercial products?

·         Are BLM’s current sales practices consistent with the purpose and intent of congressional restrictions on “sales without limitation”?

·         Does BLM have adequate safeguards to prevent sales that it knows, or reasonably should know, are likely to result in animals entering the slaughter pipeline?

·         To what extent could current Sale Authority practices undermine congressional prohibitions by transferring animals to purchasers who subsequently resell them for slaughter?

·         Are current policies and oversight mechanisms sufficient to ensure that federally protected animals are not predictably diverted into slaughter?

Program Management and Congressional Oversight

·         What relationship exists between BLM’s removal targets, off-range holding population, adoption rates, and reliance on sales?

·         Has BLM evaluated whether its current removal and sale strategies create incentives to prioritize rapid disposal over durable placement outcomes?

·         What statutory, regulatory, administrative, or reporting changes would strengthen congressional oversight and accountability?

Today, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), joined members of Congress and labor and environmental advocates in front of the U.S. Capitol to speak out against the Trump administration’s continued attacks on offshore wind. Pingree joined Representatives Deborah Ross (D-N.C.), Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), Salud Carbajal (D-Calif.) and Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.)—along with Kendall Martin, General Vice President of Ironworkers International, and Bob Keefe, Executive Director of E2 | Economy+Environment—to call attention to the lack of accountability around the corrupt, taxpayer-funded offshore wind buyout deals, which now cover 12 offshore wind leases and five developers. Since March, the Department of the Interior has made unprecedented use of the Treasury Department’s Judgment Fund to pay developers nearly $4 billion in taxpayer funds to vacate their offshore wind leases.

“The Trump administration is spending nearly $4 billion in taxpayer funds to cancel 12 offshore wind leases at the same time when Americans’ utility bills are rising. Their priorities are completely out of whack,” said Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (ME-01). “As Ranking Member of the Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, I take Congress’s power of the purse seriously. Taxpayers deserve to know who authorized these buyouts, how they were valued, and why the Judgment Fund was used. We need transparency, accountability, and more affordable, reliable domestic energy—not dirty deals that force taxpayers to pay for less of it.”

President Trump continues to wage his war on offshore wind amid rising electricity demand and skyrocketing energy bills. These cancellations jeopardize clean energy projects that would have delivered affordable, reliable energy to millions of U.S. households and businesses and hobble industries that create thousands of good-paying jobs across the country.

To date, the administration has bought out twelve offshore wind leases, including planned projects off the coasts of Maine, New York, New Jersey, California, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. Cancelling these leases takes away planned domestic power generation and hinders grid diversification, causing real reliability risks and higher energy bills for millions.

“I’ve seen firsthand what offshore wind and renewable energy can do for our communities. They can lower costs, provide new sources of power to our homes and businesses, and create good-paying jobs. My home state of North Carolina has been a long time leader in clean energy, including offshore wind,” said Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02). “The cancelled projects would have created thousands of good-paying jobs and powered over 300,000 homes. This is happening when we are already experiencing record-high electricity prices across our state. […] President Trump and the Department of Energy put their political agenda ahead of North Carolina’s economic and energy needs. Families cannot afford to pay the price for that.”

“What is so outrageous about these buyouts that are now totaling almost $4 billion of taxpayer money that’s just been lit on fire is that we’re going through a time when families are struggling,” said Congressman Jared Huffman (CA-02). “We’ve got this industry ready to make major investments in coastal communities that will not only create jobs but will provide cheap and reliable clean power that will bring electric rates down. This is exactly what we need at this time.”

“The administration spent nearly $4 billion in taxpayer funds to illegally cancel promising offshore wind project leases across the country, including 2 of 3 in my district off of Morro Bay,” said Congressman Salud Carbajal (CA-24). “As families face higher energy costs because of the president’s disastrous war in Iran, these cancellations will just inflict more damage to our economy and family budgets—not to mention the big waste of taxpayer funds. I won’t let this extreme federal overreach go unchallenged, and I will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of my colleagues here and our communities affected by these cancelled leases to say yes to wind, no to dirty deals.”

“What is happening here? It’s just corruption on stilts. We need more affordable, made-in-America, union, ready-to-go power than ever before – and we need it to be clean, because climate change is getting worse and costing us millions and billions more every single year,” said Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts. “This is Economics 101. We’ve got a major supply and demand problem: Trump is killing our electricity supply at his donors’ demand. Instead of solving the energy affordability crisis he has created, Trump is blocking offshore wind from the grid. He’s taking union workers out of work by the tens of thousands. And to add insult to injury, he’s spending your money to do it.”

“Offshore wind is here, and it’s working. It’s saving ratepayers money, breaking our dependence on volatile foreign fuel markets, creating cleaner air, and putting thousands of American union members to work,” said Kendall Martin, General Vice President of Ironworkers International. “It is common sense to keep building this necessary infrastructure at a time of increasing energy demand. Union workers in offshore wind are just trying to do our jobs, pay our bills, and build something that leaves the planet a little better for our kids and grandkids. I ask the Trump administration to stop these senseless attacks on American energy and let us get to work.”

“It makes no sense to waste billions in taxpayer dollars paying companies not to build new energy sources – especially at a time when electricity demand and prices are soaring,” said Bob Keefe, Executive Director of E2 | Economy+Environment. “And we’re not just losing new made-in-America energy here. We’re losing new jobs, new investments, new tax revenues and new opportunities in coastal communities that could use a break.”

“While families face skyrocketing bills and worry about blackouts or power outages, offshore wind provides a cheaper, more reliable, and cleaner energy future for all of us,” said Sierra Club Chief Program Officer Holly Bender. “Offshore wind is here and ready to be deployed in the United States, but Donald Trump is hell-bent on creating obstacles that tip the scales in favor of fossil fuels. It is completely unacceptable that $4 billion of our taxpayer dollars have been wasted on paying off energy companies to cancel renewable energy projects and double down on fossil fuels. We are grateful for the support of our partners in Congress and together we will continue to fight for a healthier, more affordable, and cleaner future.” 

“As if energy costs were not high enough, the Trump administration has spent almost four billion taxpayer dollars to keep our energy costs high by blocking affordable clean offshore wind energy,” said David Shadburn, Legislative Director at the League of Conservation Voters. “Trump is instead directing our tax dollars to new LNG export projects, shipping gas overseas and actually driving prices back home even higher, all while enriching Trump’s fossil fuel donors. We stand with clean energy leaders in Congress who are fighting to hold this administration to account and lower costs for working families.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-09), Fort Bragg’s Congressman, introduced a bipartisan resolution alongside Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) designating September 20 through September 26 as Gold Star Families Remembrance Week to honor the families of servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

“Our Gold Star families have sacrificed more than most of us can ever imagine,” said Rep. Hudson. “As Fort Bragg’s Congressman, it is one of my greatest privileges to serve these families and help make sure the legacies of their loved ones are never forgotten. During Gold Star Families Remembrance Week, I hope folks across North Carolina will join me in honoring their sacrifice and remembering the heroes we lost.”

“Gold Star Families are living reminders that there is a price for the freedoms we enjoy every day as Americans. The families of the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice grieve the loss of their loved ones. To honor the loved ones of these American patriots, we recognize Gold Star Families Remembrance week. My colleagues and I send our gratitude to the thousands of families who keep the memories of their loved ones alive through sharing stories and continue to honor the bravery of those who lost their lives in service to our great Nation,” said Rep. Newhouse.

The resolution recognizes the sacrifices made by Gold Star families and encourages Americans to honor fallen servicemembers through acts of service and remembrance.

Hudson has long worked to support surviving military families, including leading the bipartisan Love Lives On Act to protect survivor benefits for military spouses who choose to remarry.
