Seriously, when I started here, I couldn’t imagine that on my final day in Congress, I would be in the White House and would say this. Thx, Mr. President.

We’d like to thank for his service in Congress and for his leadership on the MINDS Act. The MINDS Act is vital in ensuring children around the world receive the support they need to recover, build resilience and thrive. We are grateful for your leadership!

We must stand with and for each other as we help rebuild our communities after the devastation of Hurricane Ian. I mourn the loss of life and property, and hope that recovery is swift.

I'm glad the U.S. moved swiftly to support the protestors in Iran, and I applaud the Administration's decision to issue a General License which will counter the Iranian regime's censorship and advance internet freedom and the free flow of information for the Iranian people.

In an attempt to deflect from these ongoing protests, Iran has launched drones and missiles at Iraq, which have killed at least 13 people - including a US citizen. These attacks also seriously threaten U.S. troops in Iraq and violate Iraq’s sovereignty.

Powerful protests continue to spread across Iran as brave Iranians fight against their government's brutality & injustice. In response, Iranian security forces have violently cracked down on protests, incl by killing dozens, arresting thousands, & limiting access to the internet.

As says, the US stands with these protestors. I'm pleased the Administration sanctioned Iran's "morality police" & others involved in the violent suppression of the protests. More must be done to address the full scope of Iran's aggression and human rights violations.

Mahsa Amini's death at the hands of the "morality police" is yet another egregious human rights violation committed by the Iranian regime. Brave Iranians, many of them women, are protesting this injustice across the country. Iran must allow women the freedoms they deserve.

That’s right, Chairman Nadler. And remember, there are progressive activists, progressive students, and progressive Members of Congress whose support of democratic Israel is fundamentally a part of their progressive values. They all belong at the table. We will not be silenced.

Our nation was founded by immigrants for those seeking refuge. We should be working to fix our immigration system. That starts w/ treating already vulnerable individuals fleeing repression w/ dignity & basic decency.

Hezbollah is a terror proxy for Iran. It's time for the EU to join the US, Germany, Argentina, the Arab League & others in saying what Hezbollah openly admits - that it is one, unified terrorist organization. Today the House urged the EU to act. Watch my remarks below.

20 million American women struggle with an eating disorder. Too often, they suffer in silence. This grant will invest nearly $1M in early ED detection & prevention research for young women. This marks a step forward in bringing visibility to these “invisible illnesses."

Yesterday marked the 2nd anniversary of the signing of the Abraham Accords & the beginning of a new geopolitical era in the Middle East. The Accords have unleashed an unparalleled amount of cooperation & people-to-people ties between Israel & its regional partners - new and old.
