Iran continues to support Bashar al-Assad and carry out its destabilizing activities.

The conflict and humanitarian crisis that it created has the potential to reshape the region literally for decades to come.

the United States faces a multitude of challenges in the Middle East.

U.S. leadership and engagement in the Middle East is essential.

I thank the witnesses and all of the members for being here today.

Unfortunately, this Administration has shown little interest or willingness to take any action.

I am proud to stand with the LGBT community, and with an ever-increasing majority of Americans in support of full equality and truly equal protection for all.

it is, frankly, rich for some of the members on the other side of the aisle who come to this committee literally every single time we meet since I have been in Congress doing everything they can to limit the ability of women to make their…

We are on the brink, as we have been discussing here this morning, of major global catastrophes caused by climate change.

Let's assume that a President pardoned someone in return for a check, personal check, of $50,000.

Iran's despicable practice of holding Americans and other foreign nationals hostage should not be tolerated by any responsible nation.

the President does not have an absolute right to pardon himself or to use the pardon power in a corrupt manner.

To interpret the Constitution otherwise would be to render any President into an elected tyrant.

I do not understand how freezing assistance, pulling back U.S. troops, and ceding American leadership to Russia and Iran will help protect our national security interests.

This merger as currently structured would kill American jobs, lower wages, and raise prices to enrich two foreign companies.

The merger of T-Mobile and Sprint will eliminate an estimated 30,000 jobs across the county.

Today should not be about politics. I didn't rise to be political. This is personal. A few years ago, I was invited to speak at the U.N. General Assembly special session on anti-Semitism. I told the representatives from the assembled…

That is why I cosponsored and voted for H.J. Res. 37, a resolution that requires the removal of U.S. Forces from the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen.

We introduced H.R. 8 8 years ago after our friend and former colleague, Gabby Giffords, was shot and nearly killed. When she was by our side to introduce the bill, she said: ``Speaking is still difficult for me, but I don't think I can…

Every conversation that we had about separation, we opposed separation.

The policy undermines our country's moral standing in the world that generations of Americans have worked so hard and in some cases have given their lives to build.

I saw thousands of cases of sexual abuse, if not by HHS staff, then by the people that HHS staff oversees.

These documents tell us that there is a problem with adults, employees of HHS sexually abusing children.

I am deeply concerned with documents that have been turned over by HHS that record a high number of sexual assaults on unaccompanied children in the custody of the Office of Refugee and Resettlements.

The Trump Administration's forced child separation policy will forever be a dark time in our nation's history.
