I rise today to applaud this House for standing with our friend, the nation of Israel. Madam Speaker, Israel has a right and a duty to defend herself from the savage attacks of Hamas launched from Gaza. The Israeli government continues to work for peace, but the relentless attacks have left her with little choice but to use military force to stop the Hamas militants hiding among innocent civilians in Gaza. Madam Speaker, Hamas must end its attacks on the people of Israel for peace to take root; I applaud this House for its strong support of our friend Israel.

On our watch, we prosecuted parents, we prosecuted grandparents, we prosecuted ministers, and we prosecuted coaches. Mr. Speaker, the only evidence you have is what that child can testify to in front of a bunch of strangers in a jury box…
We urge voters to rely on trusted, official sources of election information, such as their county election office website or the Pennsylvania department of state voter website.
State and federal laws strictly limit military and law enforcement presence at polling places, and they also prohibit voter intimidation.
I take seriously the obligations under both federal and Pennsylvania law to ensure that only eligible voters have access to the ballot box and to see to it that Pennsylvania’s voter rolls are appropriately maintained and updated.
