It is our responsibility to protect the most vulnerable among us.

I encourage everyone to support House Res. 432 condemning the attacks on citizens and supporting an immediate peaceful transition to civilian rule.

It is our moral imperative to stand with the systematic human rights abuses of the--against the abuses of the Burmese military and seek accountability and justice for the victims of this heinous campaign.

Nearly 2 years ago, Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, claiming nearly 3,000 American lives.

Congress has had to appropriate additional funding on numerous occasions to avoid shortfalls in territorial Medicaid programs.

U.S. territories are subject to inequitable Medicaid funding policies, and we can see that today.
