    The Iran deal was much better than President Trump thinks. He is making a big mistake by withdrawing from it. This will further isolate America from our allies and provoke even more trouble in the Middle East.

    We lost four young lives, Joe R. Perez, DeEbony Groves, Taurean C. Sanderlin, and Akilah DaSilva, way too soon. Fortunately, James Shaw, Jr. was in the restaurant to confront the shooter - probably saving the lives of 16 other people.

    The Music Modernization Act just passed the House 415-0! These updates are long overdue & will help level the playing field for Music City’s terrific artists. The Senate should quickly pass it so our songwriters are paid fairly for their awesome work.
