Our forces are coordinating with the Saudi forces. I concede to Members we don't have troops there, but the War Powers Resolution was written broadly, precisely because we wanted Congress to have a say. And, Representative Cole, I am…
I thank Chairman Engel for his extraordinary leadership to help bring a war in Yemen to an end. I want to thank him and Chairman McGovern, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Hoyer, for finally speaking up for the millions of Yemenis who…
What an odd concept, right? I mean, like Members of Congress, I mean, don't you think here most people would think they don't want to make just a billion dollars, they're in it for the public good?
I'm pleased to follow Representative DeSaulnier and his powerful personal story and sharing that.
My colleague, Representative Comer, said earlier today that he's concerned that government would have more of a role in medicine.

I thank Representative Jayapal for infusing the Progressive Caucus with a new vision, new energy, and, really, making it the strongest caucus in Congress and sharing some of those facts. I didn't know that 67 percent of Americans live on…
I want to thank Representative Gabbard for offering this amendment for one simple reason: it is going to stop the march to war in Iran, another blunder like Iraq. I don't understand our foreign policy. It seems that the qualification, in…
I appreciate the gentleman saying that. I had a conversation with her mother and with the community, and people just feel: what a tragic loss. So, if there are things we can do here under your leadership and as elected Representatives, I…

I am here on behalf of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and I want to just state our opposition to the balanced budget amendment. It is worth reviewing the history on this topic. When President Bill Clinton left office, he left this…
