The violence settlers are inflicting on Palestinian families in the West Bank is abhorrent. It must end.

I firmly believe in a future where Israelis and Palestinians live side by side in peace, security, and self-determination.

The suffering caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is staggering. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and families across the region, Israeli and Palestinian alike, have endured unimaginable loss. American…

I am proud that they have finally decided to lead with their morals, that they finally dared to stand up, and that we are all finally listening to our constituents.

Today, over 100 House Democrats voted for a measure to block billions of dollars in weapons to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.

I cannot vote for aid to a country that committed genocide and has used tax dollars to detain Americans like me.

His claim that broadcasters will only be allowed to grow when they serve the ‘public interest’ is especially alarming given his record of using the FCC to pressure media companies and advance Donald Trump’s political interests.

Documented evidence demonstrates that past deregulation efforts have actually reduced competition, localism, and diversity of viewpoints.

The last thing that the American people need is just more consolidation and less diversity, especially when it comes to information and broadcasting and news.

Congress set the national television ownership cap at 39 percent, and only Congress — not the FCC — has the authority to change it. It is clear that Chairman Carr is once again doing President Trump’s bidding.

It’s time to finally end the process of springing forward and falling back,

I admitted to getting my butt beat in the governor’s race.

I’ve loved doing that too, Chris, but that’s part of the way politics is. You win some, you lose some.

Let’s be honest, I didn’t go to Washington to take orders from anybody, which is why you do see me scuffle from time to time, which is why I do call out Democrats and Republicans alike.

It may have ended my political career.

I don’t think that we should be contributing to any platforming of lies about our elections. Many news outlets oftentimes may receive transcripts, and I think that we have an ethical obligation to not air things that undermine our…

But the good news is that the vast majority of Americans across the political spectrum are standing up for our democracy and our freedom in our free and fair elections.

It’s very clear that he envies the authoritarian and totalitarian leaders of the world.

The story is that he continues to lie about it, and they’ve organized an entire political party, albeit a dwindling and shrinking one, around a lie.

He lost the election by more than 7 million votes and 306-232 in the Electoral College.

It’s just absurd that he’s still obsessed with that lie.

I just voted to end US funding for Israel’s weapons of war. More Democrats than ever before voted to block funding. That is a victory for the millions of Americans who have demanded an end to our taxpayer dollars going to fund genocide.

Thousands and thousands of Palestinians have been killed using our tax dollars. This shift in the party is a testament to the movement but it’s still unconscionable for any member of Congress to justify sending any aid to fuel Israel’s…

It is clear that the status quo is not tenable. We should not provide a blank check for military aid to any country that does not comply with US law, interests, and values. The Netanyahu government has failed to meet that standard.
