        While I appreciate bipartisan process, I’m disappointed in allocation & several policy provisions in FY19 foreign aid bill. It’s funded @ same level as FY18, should be at least equal to Senate’s increase of $400m to recognize we can’t further risk US leadership abroad.

        While the bill before us avoids the Administration’s irresponsible FY 2019 proposal to cut our diplomatic and development efforts, with an $18 billion increase in discretionary spending for FY 2019, we could, and should, invest more than 1% of the budget in our overseas efforts.

        For example, the unparalleled refugee crisis, numerous countries on the brink of famine, and ongoing threats to U.S. national security demand a more robust response from U.S. global leadership.

        We would be more secure and garner more goodwill if, instead of the Republican plan to waste hundreds of millions of dollars on Trump’s border wall and deportation force, we increased our investments in diplomacy and other security assistance in this bill.

        On the positive side, this bill maintains unwavering, bipartisan support and robust funding for our close ally Israel, and provides funding for other critical partners, such as Jordan, and for development goals in many of the world’s poorest countries.

        Further, this bill contains funding for the International Organizations and Programs account, recognizing that U.S. support for UN agencies gives taxpayers the best return on investment.

        Unfortunately, this bill contains a number of short-sighted poison pills, from denying climate change to renewed attacks on women’s health. These onerous riders would make the world less safe, hurt the most vulnerable, and reduce the effectiveness of U.S. development.

        Replying to @NitaLowey

        18 million Yemenis are likely to starve in the next year because of our alliance with Saudi Arabia, which is bombing and blockading the country. Your silence is indistinguishable from willing complicity in genocide. #CutThePosturing #NeverAgainIsNow
