Congress must act now in pressing the Biden Administration to act with more immediacy and transparency to halt the bloodshed in Northern Ethiopia.

This bill will impose serious costs on the military regime which continues to commit grave violations of human rights...

We are demanding answers from the Biden Administration on how the withdrawal went so catastrophically wrong...

I strongly urge the Ethiopian Government to allow humanitarian relief into the country. Let it come in unencumbered.

I oppose this amendment because it is overly restrictive and unhelpful to the bipartisan work of this committee.

She wouldn`t, quote, come in and try to break up that unity.

Homeownership...is important, in my estimation, in closing the wealth gap, which has been a priority of mine.

I am so happy that you have already taken on how you calculate student loan debt in its underwriting process to better reflect what student borrowers actually pay monthly.

The coordination is important, I believe, to act in tandem so that there are not several different CRA rules and regulations.

We should absolutely not emulate them.

I am proud to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Sherman), a very valued member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, my good friend.
