If our colleagues choose to ignore the statehood petition of the people of Washington, there is not much we can do about that kind of moral indifference and contempt for other Americans' rights.

We have got bills here in the House where one of my colleagues has offered, a Republican colleague, offered a bill to eliminate ATF.

The most successful strategies, I think, are the ones that try and integrate law enforcement along with prosecutors.

There is a place for enforcement, but, you know, I found that we had success with intervention prevention efforts.

I think there was a point where we surged ahead of China and had more people incarcerated than any other country in the world.

The Department of Homeland Security's grant programs are key.

It is unfortunate that my colleagues across the aisle refuse to include domestic terrorism as a part of this committee's oversight plan.

If we want to protect the homeland and support law enforcement, we must reform the laws that let dangerous people obtain weapons.

The United States is facing a crisis of epic proportion when it comes to gun violence.

My heart goes out to the victims and families of those murdered in an apparent right-wing extremist shooting in Allen, Texas.

The Nonprofit Security Grant Program Improvement Act, which I authored, makes improvements to the program and will provide support to nonprofits.

I find it disturbing that some of our colleagues on the far right have taken to calling for Federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI and ATF to be defunded.

We must continue to fight for common-sense gun safety laws so that neighborhoods are safe from gun violence

It makes no sense to impede it. The People's Republic of China has used as a pretext the normalization of relations.

I would like to express my support of House Resolution 377 and House Resolution 272, resolutions calling for the release of Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan.

Creating a special tribunal for the punishment of the crime of aggression is an important and much needed step in ensuring that accountability.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine and the thousands of war crimes that have been documented cannot go unpunished.

I personally believe in an international special tribunal created through the majority vote of the United Nations General Assembly.

I introduced H. Res. 81, which I believe is essential for holding Russia accountable for its intentions on this illegal war.

I have focused on seeking justice for those who have experienced atrocity crimes at the hands of the Russian military in Ukraine.

I stand with the Administration and those who believe Assad must be held accountable.

It has been over 12 years since the Syrian people first rose up for their basic rights, and then endured brutal assaults by Assad's Russian and Iranian backed military year after year.

This culture of using violence to address political differences I think on both sides must end.

Crime should never be an opportunity to demonize and vilify a whole population of American citizens.

Congress has the power to modify the boundaries of the Federal District.
