I fully support the Speaker’s announcement of a new impeachment inquiry. The circumstances surrounding the President’s phone call with a foreign leader requires it and we are obligated to go wherever the facts lead.

The times have found us. The actions taken to date by the President have seriously violated the Constitution. It is for this reason that the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry.

Today I urged Speaker Pelosi to amend the cryptocurrency broker language in the Senate’s infrastructure bill. The legislation imposes new reporting requirements on miners, validators & developers of wallets who would be unable to comply with these requirements. #DontKillCrypto

Trump has brought our country and our democracy to the brink of disaster. He must be impeached, and I’ve cosponsored articles of impeachment that will be filed in the House on Monday, January 11th.

I'm exceedingly proud of my constituent, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford for her moving, honest and credible testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today. What she testified to is exactly what she shared with me on July 20 in my Palo Alto District Office.

I unequivocally condemn Hamas and their attacks on Israel and I support Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorism. The tragic deaths of innocent civilians are deeply concerning. The US and international community must come together to help broker an immediate ceasefire.

It was an honor to visit the homeland of my ancestors to reaffirm the enduring commitment of the U.S. to Armenia’s democracy and security. Some three decades ago, Armenia was subject to the repressive rule of the Soviet Union. Today, Armenia is a vibrant democracy.

In 2020, Azerbaijan and Turkey launched an unprovoked war against Artsakh and Armenia, taking more than 6,000 lives and displacing at least 90,000 ethnic Armenians. Thousands of unexploded ordnances remain, posing a lethal threat to families who wish to return home. (1/2)

On the 105th Anniversary of the #ArmenianGenocide, we pause to remember the 1.5 million Armenians and hundreds of thousands of Assyrians, Greeks, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians who were taken from us at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, including my ancestors.

By refusing to denounce and immediately reject Russia’s request to interrogate a former U.S. Ambassador, Donald Trump has once again disgraced the United States and its government and confirmed he is nothing more than a stooge for Vladimir Putin.

I hope the White House corrects the record and denounces in categorical terms this ridiculous request from Putin. Not doing so creates moral equivalency between a legitimacy US indictment of Russian intelligence officers and a crazy, completely fabricated story invented by Putin twitter.com/roburban/statu…

Today’s assault on the U.S. Capitol was an attempted coup fueled by the violent rhetoric of President Trump and his allies, aggrieved by his election results. The Capitol is the tabernacle of our democracy and every American should be appalled by the events that took place today.
