I’m proud to work across the aisle with Senator Coons to ensure law enforcement has the resources they need to fight back and protect our communities.” “Auto thefts harm us on a personal level, a community level, and a state and national level,” said Senator Coons. “When your car gets stolen, you lose not just your way to get to work and school, but your sense of security. Meanwhile, the proceeds from your car often fund other, more dangerous crimes, cartels, and gangs. This bipartisan bill gives local law enforcement the tools and expertise they need to find stolen cars, take money out of the hands of criminals, and give families back their sense of security.” The bill directs the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to create an auto theft prevention grant program that would be awarded to states that demonstrate a need for federal assistance. Grant funds could be used for equipment purchases, hiring and training officers and support staff, overtime and compensation costs, joint task forces, and data collection and research. The Auto Theft Prevention Act is endorsed by ASCIA and the Major County Sheriffs of America (MCSA). 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

I am willing to work with anyone to finally bring down costs for all Americans and hope my colleagues across the aisle will commit to doing the same.” “Families in Maine and across the country are struggling with the high cost of health care, and we need to pursue practical solutions that increase affordability without creating sudden disruptions in coverage,” said Senator Collins. “This bill would help prevent unaffordable increases in health insurance premium costs for many families by extending the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits for two years and putting a reasonable income cap on these subsidies to ensure they are going to the individuals who need them.” Senator Moreno’s CARE Act will provide a temporary Affordable Care Act premium tax credit extension by giving Americans a two-year glidepath off the COVID-era subsidies, end premium tax credits once household income hits $200,000, and require a $25 per month premium. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

We moved it six points, which nobody thought would be possible in four years, we did it in ten months. That is something that maybe the news should cover a little bit more. We’ve driven down the price of automobiles.” Click HERE to watch Senator Moreno’s full remarks. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

Being an American citizen is an honor and a privilege—and if you want to be an American, it’s all or nothing. It’s time to end dual citizenship for good.” Current law allows certain United States citizens to maintain foreign citizenship, which could create conflicts of interest. Senator Moreno’s Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 would require them to forfeit their dual citizenship. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z

The conversation included the Trump administration’s work to make everyday life more affordable for Americans, their work to end illegal immigration, the impact of tariffs to revive American manufacturing, and the Trump Doctrine to protect the Western Hemisphere. Senator Moreno’s appearance followed Vice President JD Vance’s remarks with Breitbart’s Washington Bureau Chief, Matthew Boyle. Watch the full event HERE. On Republicans work to make America more affordable: “The gut punch that the working-class took in this country over the four years of Biden can’t be overstated. They totally and completely gutted our working class. They brought in millions, ten plus million foreign workers, caused a housing crisis, caused an insurance crisis, [and] caused a food crisis. Then they did all the things that they did during Covid, which just created an incredible amounts of depression among young people. Raised the price of automobiles. Now one of the things we have to be straighter with the American public is fixing that four years of total, complete disaster was not going to happen in a couple of months. So, what we have to do though, is move with total and complete urgency to make that happen. I believe that’s the good news, certainly I can speak for the Senate Republicans, is we are driving towards that at 100 miles an hour.” On President Trump’s tariffs reviving American manufacturing: “The experts have been so catastrophically wrong this year. Look you go back to Liberation Day in April. You remember what they said? ‘The economy was going to collapse. This is going to be a 1929 depression. America’s over. This is it. Throw in the towel.’ And we have not seen inflation go the way it has. I could name a hundred CEOs that have been in my office, we’re buildin… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z

Read the full letter HERE or below. November 7, 2025 The Honorable Pamela Bondi Attorney General United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Attorney General Bondi, I write to respectfully request an update on the letter I sent you on February 5, 2025, regarding the Department of Justice’s policies and practices concerning consent decrees nationwide, including the consent decree in the City of Cleveland. Following my February 5, 2025 letter, I was pleased to see President Trump’s decisive leadership on this important issue when he issued Executive Order 14288, Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement To Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens. Likewise, I was relieved to see the Department of Justice act quickly and assist in ending the following but not limited to consent decrees: Louisville, Kentucky; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Norfolk, Virgina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Seattle, Washington. President Trump and the Department of Justice are finally freeing police departments nationwide from the shackles of costly consent decrees that prohibit law enforcement officers from doing their jobs and protecting American citizens.

I will always stand by Ohio’s brave men and women in blue.” Senator Moreno’s STOP Act establishes a new federal offense for criminals who barricade themselves to evade arrest by a federal law enforcement officer. Individuals found guilty of barricading can face fines, imprisonment, or both. If the act causes physical harm, involves a deadly weapon, or puts a third party at risk, the penalty increases. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

Their drug trafficking operations are directly responsible for the flow of deadly narcotics into our communities, including those in Ohio,” wrote Senator Moreno. “Furthermore, these gangs only seek to strengthen their affiliations with transnational criminal and terrorist networks, including Mexican cartels, which pose an ever-escalating threat to our homeland security.” Read the letter HERE or below. October 30, 2025 The Honorable Marco Rubio The Secretary of State 2201 C St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20520 Dear Secretary Rubio, I write to respectfully request that the Department of State consider designating the following Colombian criminal organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs): Estado Mayor de Bloques y Frentes (EMBF), led by Alexander Díaz, alias Calarcá Autodefensas Gaitanistas de Colombia (AGC), led by Jobanis de Jesús Villadiego, alias Chiquito Malo Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra Nevada (ACSN or Pachencas), led by Hernán Giraldo, alias El Patrón EMBF, AGC, and ACSN are foreign organizations that engage in terrorist activities and retain the capability and intent to engage in terrorist activities, which threatens the security of the United States and its citizens. Their record of violence is clear: assassinations, violent attacks, intimidation campaigns, narco-trafficking, and armed confrontations—all acts that fall squarely within the legal definition of terrorism under U.S. law. Such operations demonstrate a deliberate use of violence to achieve political and criminal objectives. Most critically, these groups help kill Americans.

How, as Mentor Board of Education President could you let this happen? And, apparently, the best you could do to alleviate concerns of both the students and parents was send an email to parents where it was indicated that a number of steps were taken to ensure that students and staff are able to operate without additional disruption. This is absolutely unacceptable.” Read the letter HERE or below. October 24, 2025 The Honorable Maggie A. Cook President Mentor Board of Education 6451 Center St. Mentor, OH 44060 Dear President Cook, I write to you today, not only as a United States Senator, but as a parent, which is the most important job I will ever have. I am absolutely repulsed to learn that a 15-year-old Mentor High School student was arrested last week on child pornography charges. Yet, even worse, I am revolted to learn that you may have allowed a potential sex offender, who was charged with 36 felony counts, including pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, back onto Mentor Public School property. As not only the senior Senator of our great state, but as a dad myself, the most important thing I can do is protect Ohio’s children.

Millions of Ohioans rely on SNAP to make ends meet, they shouldn’t be punished because Chuck Schumer and DC Democrats view them as ‘leverage’ in their political war against President Trump,” said Senator Moreno. “I’m proud to team up with my Republican colleagues to protect SNAP since Democrats won’t.” “Needy families in Missouri should not be going hungry because a bunch of politicians in DC can’t figure out how to open the government,” said Senator Hawley. “650,000 people in Missouri depend on help when it comes to the price of food and groceries. I don’t want to see these folks go without food. I hope everybody will support this legislation.” “The Trump Administration has tried to shield the American people from the harmful effects of this Democrat shutdown. But as the shutdown drags on, the reality is the only way to guarantee paychecks for federal employees, keep America’s skies safe for travelers, and ensure critical safety-net programs remain available for Oklahomans in need is to reopen the government. Under President Biden, this same type of clean continuing resolution passed on a bipartisan basis thirteen times. Now, under President Trump, it’s exceptionally disappointing to see Democrats choosing politics over paychecks and the most vulnerable,” Senator Lankford said. “Roughly one in 10 Tennesseans receive SNAP benefits for food assistance, and they shouldn’t have to worry about where their next meal will come from because the Democrats are holding government funding hostage to appease their far-left base,” said Senator Blackburn. “Our Keep SNAP Funded Act would ensure Tennesseans do not miss a… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z

If Congress can’t do the bare minimum, we don’t deserve a paycheck.” Unlike federal employees, members of Congress are guaranteed to get paid during a government shutdown.

As you know, Congress recently enacted Public Law 119-21, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, giving working class families massive tax relief, ending the Green New Scam, and fully funding our border security and national security needs. As part of this law, Congress amended Sections 25E, 30D, and 45W of the tax code, which collectively provide tax credits for the purchase of certain “clean vehicles.” These electric vehicle subsidies were costing taxpayers billions of dollars each year and distorting the market for automakers and dealers across the country, and we are extremely pleased that Congress acted decisively to cut these credits off. The intent of P.L. 119-21 is clear – no credits allowed after September 30, 2025.

September 29, 2025 Mr. Sundar Pichai Chief Executive Officer Google 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 Dear Mr. Pichai, I write to request information regarding your company’s decision to remove Univision and Telemundo from YouTube TV’s basic television streaming platform and place Univision and Telemundo stations into a “Spanish-only” package that costs $15 more each month than the basic television streaming platform. It is my understanding that if a deal is not reached this week between your company and NBCUniversal, then roughly 10 million paid subscribers in the United States will not have access to either Hispanic broadcast network. Google is effectively placing an 18 percent tax on millions of Hispanic customers—or worse—denying them access to services in a way that could be indicative of serious antitrust violations. This is one recent example of Google abusing its market power to silence these outlets that millions of Hispanic viewers rely on. Unfortunately, I am not surprised to learn a company owned by Google is refusing to provide vital information to its subscribers.

Unfortunately, the site’s development is nowhere near where your company said it would be. This was the largest investment in Ohio’s history and was initially projected to create 3,000 Intel jobs and 7,000 construction jobs over the course of building the two factories. The development of the factories was also going to supposedly “support tens of thousands of additional local long-term jobs across a broad ecosystem of suppliers and partners.” Your company estimated that after the two factories were built, the investment in the factories could grow to as much as $100 billion in ten years, making it one of the largest manufacturing sites in the world. State and local officials moved mountains to assist your company in achieving the company proclaimed original timeline for opening in 2025. Ohio gave your company $2 billion worth of public incentives and developed significant newly constructed public infrastructure amounting to at least $691 million.

The bill would protect American workers from outsourcing by disincentivizing U.S. companies from chasing cheaper wages and hiring foreign workers. The legislation will impose a tax on any company that employs foreign labor instead of Americans and will use the generated revenue to fund workforce development programs to help the middle-class. “But corporations, unfortunately, chase slave wages in other parts of the world where they can pay people $5 a day. And our calls, our American consumers that need help, need assistance, are calling these foreign countries. They have a language barrier, a culture barrier, and more importantly, that money is leaving our country to go into those communities versus having that money to stay here in America,” said Senator Moreno. “So, what my bill does, it’s very simple, if you outsource American jobs to a foreign country, you will pay a 25 percent fee for the value of that contract. And here’s the best part, we take that 25 percent fee that we collect, and we use it to fund trade schools to upskill workers to be able to step up into a better, higher paying job.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z

In a July letter, Senator Moreno demanded the resignation of Powell, after weeks of questioning him on his refusal to lower interest rates. In June, Senator Moreno hammered Powell on his repeated public attacks on President Donald Trump’s trade agenda and refusal to lower rates despite persistently low inflation.

It’s unacceptable, and I’m proud to introduce bipartisan legislation to fix it.” “Federal fire fighters are being pushed to the brink – working 72-hour weeks that risk their health, safety, and well-being. The IAFF proudly supports the Federal Fire Fighters Families First Act, and thanks Senators Ruben Gallego and Bernie Moreno for putting these brave men and women – and their families – first. It caps excessive workweeks, fixes broken retirement rules, and honors the hours our members serve. Without action, this system will continue to fail those who protect our military and our national security. The IAFF urges Congress to act now,” said Edward A. Kelly, General President, International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). Due to outdated scheduling practices, federal firefighters typically work 72 hours per week – staggered at a grueling rate of 24 hours on-duty and 24 hours off-duty. This schedule harms firefighters’ work-life balance, robs them of time with family, and reduces their effective hourly wages. The Federal Firefighters Families First Act would bring much-needed relief to federal firefighters by reducing their workweek to 60 hours while holding their current overall pay steady and ensuring that their pensions accurately reflect their scheduled overti… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:48:13Z

I’m grateful for the hard work of our House counterparts to craft smart, bipartisan legislation, and I look forward to building on their work here in the Senate. Working with President Trump, we can deliver a comprehensive, bipartisan regulatory framework for digital assets,” said Chairman Scott. “The time for regulatory uncertainty in the digital asset space has come to an end,” said Senator Lummis. “This discussion draft represents a thoughtful, balanced approach that will provide the clarity our innovators need while providing robust consumer protections. We cannot allow regulatory confusion to continue driving American innovation overseas.

Provide set-asides for rural communities and prioritize high-opportunity areas and localities working to reduce barriers to housing development. “Out of control housing costs are making the American dream unaffordable for average Americans, forcing them choose between home ownership or paying for basic necessities,” said Senator Moreno. “I’m proud to work across the aisle on this innovative new program for local governments to streamline housing construction and lower costs, empowering working-class Americans to achieve homeownership with dignity. When combined with the ability to have on time rental payments count for the purposes of getting credit, we are able to make the American dream more accessible.” “We are in the middle of a housing affordability crisis in Delaware and across this nation,” said Senator Blunt Rochester. “One of my top priorities in the Senate is ensuring all Americans have a roof over their head and a place to call home. The bipartisan Accelerating Home Building Act supports pattern zoning, a creative and cost-effective method to reduce the cost of housing in our communities.

This cannot be a country built on servitude, American workers must come first.” The SAFE HIRE Act requires: Publicly traded company executives and human resources officers (“certifying officers”) to certify the accuracy of their employment practices and employee legal work status in their annual SEC reports, including an evaluation of internal compliance controls. Executives are also required to disclose to both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) any “significant deficiencies” in their internal processes that could impact their ability to comply with federal employment eligibility requirements and any known violations of the federal legal work regulations. Companies to file a list of all disclosed deficiencies and violations with DHS and DOJ in their public annual report filed with the SEC, including whether or not they’ve hired illegal workers Executives who lie about these reports can be fined up to $1,000,000, imprisoned for up to 10 years, or both Penalties are even more severe (up to $5,000,000 fine and 20 years imprisonment) for executives whose companies hire illegal aliens.

On June 25th, Senator Moreno hammered Jerome Powell on his repeated public attacks on President Donald Trump’s trade agenda and refusal to lower rates despite persistently low inflation.

On June 18th, Senator Moreno sent his first letter to Powell expressing serious concern with the Federal Reserve’s decision not to lower interest rates even in spite of President Donald Trump’s success bringing inflation under control.

Clearly, these imports are rising to evade the section 232 tariffs and undercut American appliance manufacturers and their workers who use domestic melted and poured steel and U.S. supply chains to manufacture products. It is critical that these orders from U.S. appliance manufacturers remain strong to support the goal of 80% capacity utilization in the U.S. steel industry,” wrote Moreno. “Taking action against these imports would benefit many U.S. industries, including companies in Ohio like Whirlpool, and lead to more good jobs, more consumption of U.S. steel, and a positive ripple effect through our economy. U.S. manufacturers have excess capacity ready to go to ensure that the market can absorb increased demand for U.S.-made appliances without shortages or exorbitant price increases. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:20:29Z

You know what is an ‘extremely difficult decision?’ Figuring out how to feed and provide for your family when you’ve been laid off after dedicating 37 years of your life to an employer because Wall Street elites decided that they want to ‘align [their] operations with long-term business goals,’” Senator Moreno wrote. “I can only conclude that H.I.G. acquired a landmark Ohio business with the sole intention of shutting it down to line your executives’ pockets at the expense of hard-working Ohioans. I won’t allow this carnage to stand. The only logical solution is for H.I.G to divest itself from Pixelle and the paper mill and find an operator that knows how to successful run and grow a company. H.I.G. Capital has a history of acquiring companies, forcing them to file for bankruptcy only years later, and leaving the employees and communities it decimates behind.

Senators Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) joined Senator Moreno on the bill. “America is the birthplace of innovation, and we should be leading in the responsible development of blockchain,” said Senator Moreno. “My bill will ensure the United States is a global leader in blockchain and give Americans even more financial choices. “As blockchain technology rapidly transforms the global marketplace, it is critical for the United States to maintain a competitive edge,” said Senator Sheehy. “I’m proud to be part of this bipartisan legislation that will open new doors for digital innovation and ensure we don’t fall behind countries like China in the development of this critical technology. “It’s crucial that we remain at the cutting edge of industrial innovation, and blockchain technology can be an important part of this change,” said Senator Blunt Rochester. “This bill takes an important step in building out our industrial innovation ecosystem by examining how American manufacturers can best utilize blockchain technology to modernize manufacturing processes, improve supply chain transparency, and increase accountability in production systems. I’m looking forward to advancing this bipartisan effort, alongside Senator Moreno, to prepare us for a 21st century manufacturing and supply chain landscape. The Deploying American Blockchains Act is also supported by the Digital Chamber: “The Digital Chamber applauds Senators Moreno (R-OH), Blunt Rochester (D-DE), and Sheehy (R-MT), along with Representatives Cammack (R-FL) and Soto (D-FL), for introducing the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025.

I’m proud to be joined by my colleagues in leading this bipartisan bill to finally give the President the authority he needs to enact his America First agenda and protect America’s industrial sector,” said Senator Bernie Moreno. “Keeping sensitive American land out of hands of our adversaries – like China, Iran, and North Korea – is a critical priority,” said Senator Elissa Slotkin. “While foreign investment in the U.S. can support economic development, it can also threaten our national security. To address that risk, this bipartisan bill builds on my work in the U.S. House and gives more authority to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. to examine a broader set of transactions. That means we can stop land purchases that pose an actual risk to our national security. I look forward to working with Senator Moreno to get this critically important bill signed into law. “Ensuring President Trump and his team have the tools in their arsenal to protect our people and our economy from manipulation by foreign adversaries is the epitome of America First common sense. Economic security is national security, and I’m proud to be in the fight to keep American technology, industry, and infrastructure out of the wrong hands,” said Senator Sheehy.

Senator Moreno called on executives to explain how they plan to reopen the hospitals and assist laid-off employees, among other questions. “Steward Health Care’s nationwide predatory practices and financial missteps have been ongoing for many years. I could not begin to adequately chronical all the nationwide damage Steward Health Care has caused, all at the expense of patients, while its executives are ‘sailing on their yachts,’” Senator Moreno said. “It is absolutely imperative that the people of Trumbull County have access to quality health care. You should be ashamed and held responsible. Steward Health has long been plagued by accusations of corporate greed and financial mismanagement, even resulting in a unanimous vote to hold the company’s former CEO in contempt. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:06:22Z

Thanks to President Trump, we are finally ensuring every car sold in America is made in America and that working Americans can actually afford to buy a car in the first place. I’m proud to lead the way in the Senate,” said Senator Moreno.

But Biden didn’t just allow this invasion, he abetted it at every turn. From flying migrants into the country to housing them to providing them free healthcare, Biden rolled out the red carpet for these migrants—all on the taxpayer dime. Make no mistake: Members of cartels like Tren de Aragua are terrorists. I watched as drug cartels almost destroyed my home country of Colombia. If given the chance, these cartels will do the same to America. President Donald Trump not only has the right but the obligation to do everything in his power to stop these cartels and protect the homeland. That’s why it’s so sickening to see activist judges like Judge James Boasberg attempt to thwart the will of the American people and attempt to halt President Trump’s deportation of these cartel thugs. […] But if rogue district court judges can prevent our commander-in-chief from protecting the American homeland from a terrorist invasion, we don’t live in a democracy anymore. […] President Trump must use the Article II constitutional authority vested in him as President and each and every relevant law and regulation to secure our borders and interior. And that starts with removing violent criminal illegal aliens from the homeland. Congress should welcome any request from the president to support him in his mission to stop this invasion of our country. The United States of America is the greatest country in the world. Even in the midst of unelected leftist judges’ attempts to stop his every move, I applaud President Trump for working tirelessly to mitigate the damage done by the Biden-Harris administration. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T00:15:27Z

Bar calling for an investigation into Cleveland’s consent decree monitor, Karl Racine, following a drunken confrontation Racine had with police at a Cleveland casino. In January, police called for back-up at 2:30 in the morning after Racine, formerly D.C.’s Attorney General, drunkenly refused to leave the JACK Cleveland Casino, telling officers he was “here with the Department of Justice.“ “Mr. Racine’s rampant misconduct is a disgrace to the D.C. Bar, the City of Cleveland, and Ohio taxpayers. His egregious actions do more than speak to his fitness as a lawyer. He should immediately be removed from having any authority to monitor the City of Cleveland’s Consent Decree. Mr. Racine has undermined the integrity of our justice system, committed serious violations of the D.C. Professional Rules of Conduct, and wasted millions of taxpayers’ hard-earned money,” wrote Senator Moreno In February, Sen. Moreno called for Attorney General Pam Bondi to dismiss the Cleveland consent decree. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T17:53:31Z
