I saw the arrogance in the eyes of those settlers, 21- and 22-year-olds with guns, laughing that they had detained us, the arrogance of those young IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding – having no respect for the fact that they…
We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it.
And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun – and they detain us.
I was detained by Israeli settlers for over an hour while visiting the West Bank.
I felt powerless in that situation, which is not an easy thing, as I have a lot of privilege in life. Imagine how people feel every day, Palestinians under the occupation, if they could make an American congressperson feel powerless for 90…
I’m strongly considering it. And I’m more resolved to consider it after this trip.
If they will do this to an American congressman, imagine what is happening to Palestinian families who are just trying to live.
These hoodlums come in with machine guns—M4, an American-made machine gun—and they detain us. They block off the road."

I’m proud to reintroduce the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act alongside Senator Whitehouse to stop Big Oil from profiteering off of foreign wars at Americans’ expense and deliver real relief at the pump.
These strikes are a blatant violation of the War Powers Resolution that we passed. Trump must stop this war now—or we will take him to court to compel him to do so.

I’ll give the survivors credit, but I did coin the phrase ‘Epstein class’ because they’re a group of rich and powerful people who are not playing by the rules, and it offends the sense that we have one tier of justice.
