I would like to share an editorial from the Union Leader, New Hampshire's statewide newspaper. People who thought a weak and dying Roosevelt gave away too much to the Russians at Yalta in World War II may want to reconsider. Compared to…

I thank the gentlewoman from New York for holding this Special Order. This is so important to speak to the Nation tonight, and we must keep raising our voices until the President backs off and fixes this. I am a Democrat, but I grew up in…

America is looking on, indeed the world is looking on with horror as they see pictures of children in cages. First it was denied. They were saying, No, we weren't separating families. Then they said, Well, we are not putting them in cages…

Thank you, Congressman Tonko, for yielding. I know how close you were to Louise and how much she loved you and you loved her. I offer my condolences not only to Louise's family, but also to Paul and to the entire Chamber, and to me…
