When we act alone without consulting our partners, we run the risk of them in turn acting in ways that undercut our goals.

So facing the threat of U.S. sanctions it seems to me we've pushed foreign governments closer to Tehran rather than further away from Tehran.

To be fair, the administration has imposed new sanctions against the Russians. But the sanctions they have put forward, in my opinion, amounts to a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.

The administration uses loud rhetoric but there's little substance, I find, behind the tough talk.

The Trump administration is not going to give us the information we need willingly.

This administration just doesn't seem to respect Congress' role as a co-equal branch of government.

The resolution sets forth milestones which needed to be met and passed thanks to the leaderships of so many, including our Chairman Ed Royce, our Ranking Member Eliot Engel, and, of course, Kevin McCarthy and the Speaker, who ensured that…

Passing this bill today without a full understanding of these effects would be irresponsible. We have been able to engage in really deliberative, thoughtful consideration of criminal justice reform. This May we passed the FIRST STEP Act…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 6691, the so-called Community Safety and Security Act. This legislation would dramatically expand the definition of a crime of violence in the Federal criminal…

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This is a the moment when Judge Brett Kavanaugh refused to shake the hand of Fred Guttenberg, a man whose 14-year old daughter was murdered during a school shooting at Parkland, Florida earlier…

The Cuban people have been suffering for far too long under the Castro regime, and many risk their lives every day to fight for the basic freedoms.

The feigned transition of power that occurred in Cuba this April was nominal, and we should not be under any illusions about who really holds the seat of power in Cuba.

We should ensure that any policy toward Cuba does not readily offer major concessions to the Cuban Government.

I thank the gentleman from Florida for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from New York for her co- chairmanship of this caucus. Both Mr. Bilirakis and Mrs. Maloney have been great champions on this issue, and I am honored and…

But at what cost? President Sisi launched an offensive earlier this year named Operation Sinai 2018.

I witnessed first-hand how our local businesses have suffered because of this sales tax loophole created by Quill v. North Dakota.

Listing out protected characteristics helps those making determinations about membership understand their obligations, and helps those seeking membership understand their rights. There is no reason to refuse to include gender identity as a…

For far too long, this unfair and unjust system has discriminated against local commerce, the economic lifeblood of our communities.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak about H.R. 4100. The Federal Bar Association is the Nation's premier association for practitioners in Federal courts and, as such, should, of course, be open to all…

Under--ushering counterterrorism laws, President Sisi has censored the press and journalists are routinely harassed, arrested, and imprisoned without trial.

Egypt consistently ranks as one of the worst countries for freedom of the press.

This hearing is timely, as this Saturday, a court in Egypt will be deciding whether to execute over 700 individuals who were arrested during the violent dispersal of a protest in 2013.

I sent a letter to President Sisi of Egypt today, urging him to support the immediate release of Shawkan...

There must be protections for the citizens of Egypt and their human rights must be respected.

I have joined Mr. Hill in introducing House Resolution 673 expressing concern about the attacks against Coptic Christians in Egypt.
