Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) today sent a letter to the University of Michigan President Grasso following Thursday’s open house, which failed to address concerns of the community, and instead further emphasized the ongoing lack of transparency and communication between the University of Michigan and Ypsilanti Township community.
“This letter is a follow up to last evening’s open house regarding the proposed University of Michigan-Los Alamos data center,” Dingell stated.“The format did not meet the needs of the community and did not substitute for the public town hall meeting. For months, Ypsilanti Township residents have been asking for clear and direct engagement as uncertainty around this data center has continued to grow.”
“The community wants and should have a forum where questions are asked and answered publicly,” Dingell continued.“Instead, the open house was structured as many residents described it as a show-and-tell rather than providing a forum for any meaningful dialogue. Without the opportunity for this dialogue, residents left without a clear understanding of the facts and without answers to their questions.”
“Of deep concern to me is the miscommunication regarding site selection. On multiple occasions, including this week, I have been told by U-M that no site decisions had been made and that multiple locations were still under consideration. Last night, as I continued to say that to residents, a senior U-M official told a reporter that U-M is down to two sites: Willow Run and the Textile Road site along the Huron River in Ypsilanti Township. This is an example of the lack of transparency and poor communication that has existed between U-M and the community since the beginning of this project. I am extremely angry that the lack of communication last evening forced me to provide inaccurate information to my constituents. This is emblematic of the broader challenges that have frustrated the community,” Dingell concluded. “What is needed now is a formal, public town hall in Ypsilanti Township that brings the experts together to answer communication in an open and collective setting. Residents have been asking for this for more than a year. The community needs clarity and accountability.”

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) released the following statement in response to the Trump Administration’s arrest of two journalists over their coverage of an anti-immigration enforcement protest in Minnesota:
“This is dangerous. If we lose our free press, we lose our democracy,” said Thompson. “To scare, intimidate, or threaten the press is a violation of the First Amendment and a deeply dangerous power grab by this administration. The seriousness of this attack on our free press cannot be overstated. When journalists and the media cannot report the truth, we risk the very foundation of our democracy.
“This terrible act should be a reminder to our press to continue to aggressively and unabashedly report the truth for the good of our country.”

Washington, DC – Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17), author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, released the following statement:
“The DOJ said it identified over 6 million potentially responsive pages but is releasing only about 3.5 million after review and redactions. This raises questions as to why the rest are being withheld. I will be reviewing closely to see if they release what I’ve been pushing for: the FBI 302 victim interview statements, a draft indictment and prosecution memorandum prepared during the 2007 Florida investigation, and hundreds of thousands of emails and files from Epstein’s computers. Failing to release these files only shields the powerful individuals who were involved and hurts the public’s trust in our institutions,”said Rep. Khanna.

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO), Chair of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, released the following statement on President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board:
“Kevin Warsh is fully qualified to serve as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and his decades of experience will serve him well as he works to ensure American families have confidence in a stable economy. President Trump made an excellent decision to nominate Kevin, and I know he will be a thoughtful steward of his responsibilities as Chair as we all work to fight inflation and support strong economic growth for our nation.”

Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA), Senior House Democrat on Congress’ Joint Economic Committee and member of the House Committee on Ways and Means, today urged the Senate to subject President Trump’s Fed Chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, to “hard questions about independence and monetary policy.”
Beyer said:
“Trump chose Kevin Warsh for Fed Chair because his father-in-law is a billionaire donor, the brains behind Trump’s idiotic scheme to invade Greenland. He also chose him because Warsh has shown willingness to wildly alter his views on monetary policy based on who is in the White House, and because he is ‘out of central casting.’
“The Senate should note these bad qualifications and remember Warsh’s awful track record at the Fed during the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession. These concerns along with Trump’s attacks on the Fed mean this nominee must face hard questions about independence and monetary policy. Warsh can’t just get a rubber stamp.”

Washington, DC — Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement:
“As the top Democrat on the House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions, I am willing to keep an open mind about the nomination of Kevin Warsh. Having served on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors during the 2008 financial crisis, he has seen firsthand what happens when excessive financial risk is ignored and oversight fails in the run-up to the collapse of an investment bubble.
“He should appreciate the importance of an independent Federal Reserve, and keep that in mind when Trump inevitably pressures him to ignore economic data in favor of political expediency.”

Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-33) announced that he secured $1,031,000 in community project funding for the City of Rialto’s Police Station Technology, Safety and Equipment Project. This grant funding will improve public safety and security by allowing the Rialto Police Department to develop a Real-Time Crime Center and Dispatch Center to better respond to incidents, purchase essential surveillance technology and strengthen the department’s cybersecurity. You can watch the full video of the press conference here and find photos from the event above and here.
“It is crucial that our law enforcement is equipped with the tools they need to do their jobs so they can keep residents safe,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “That’s why I am so proud that I secured over $1 million in funding for the hardworking men and women of the Rialto Police Department who protect our community every day. This project will improve public safety and reduce crime by allowing the Rialto Police Department to develop a Real-Time Crime Center and Dispatch Center to more effectively monitor and respond to incidents. I’ll continue to fight for more resources that help make life better and safer for Inland Empire families.”
“With Congressman Aguilar’s support, the Rialto Police Department will have the tools to respond faster and keep our community safer,” said Mayor Joe Baca, City of Rialto. “The new Real-Time Crime Center is a major step forward in protecting our residents and giving our officers the technology they need.”
“I’d like to express my appreciation to Congressman Aguilar for supporting this investment in the Rialto Police Department’s Real-Time Crime Center,” said Mark Kling, Chief of Police, Rialto Police Department. “This funding will help to establish Rialto as the premier police agency in the County and help keep our community safe well into the future.”
In January 2026, Rep. Aguilar helped pass the Commerce, Justice, Science, Energy and Water Development, and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act of 2026, which included $7.4 million in federal community project funding grants for seven projects in California’s 33rd Congressional District.

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a press availability, where he emphasized that Democrats are committed to using taxpayer dollars to make life better for the American people and hold the Trump administration accountable for brutalizing everyday Americans.
LEADER JEFFRIES: Taxpayer dollars should be used to make life better for the American people, to drive down the high cost of living, to fix our broken healthcare system and to deliver a government that actually promotes the health, the safety and the economic well-being of the American people. Instead, Donald Trump and his administration have been using taxpayer dollars to brutalize everyday Americans, kill American citizens and violently target law-abiding immigrant families. It’s unacceptable, it’s unconscionable and it’s un-American.
This administration continues to weaponize the Department of Justice, weaponize the Department for Homeland Security, weaponize the power of government to undermine the ability of everyday Americans to live their best life, because they’re so consumed with jamming their right-wing extremism down the throats of the American people. We will not be intimidated by any of their actions. We will stay the course as it relates to making sure that we actually fund the government in a manner that is consistent with our values, consistent with the Constitution and consistent with the American way of life.
It’s a big difference between the Trump administration, Republicans, on the one hand, and how Democrats want to spend your taxpayer dollars on the other. Republicans, in their One Big Ugly Bill, enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in American history, ripped healthcare away from more than 14 million Americans, and at the same period of time, took $186 billion from SNAP, literally stealing food from the mouths of hungry children, seniors and veterans. And in that same One Big Ugly Bill, use taxpayer dollars to give the Department of Homeland Security and ICE a slush fund that’s been used to unleash a killing machine in Minneapolis, using taxpayer dollars, literally, to kill American citizens in cold blood.
That’s what Republicans have done in their One Big Ugly Bill. That’s their policy, and Democrats are going to continue to push back aggressively against it. We want to make sure that the Department of Homeland Security conducts itself in a manner that elevates public safety, not undermines it. And the American people are demanding accountability, and that’s what Democrats are going to deliver.
