My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who helped prevent a tragedy, but we must come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.

The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement: “This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly High Level Week. They discussed Ukraine's urgent air defense needs amid continued Russian strikes, and efforts to advance a U.S.-Ukraine drone deal and other co-production opportunities that would deepen defense-industrial ties between the two countries. Ranking Member Meeks reiterated his commitment to pushing Congress to deliver additional military and economic support to Ukraine without delay.

Americans are getting sick from spikes in Ebola, measles, tuberculosis and Cyclospora. And what's the Trump administration doing? Slashing funding for global health programs that combat the spread of deadly infectious diseases and prevent them from reaching the United States.

Families deserve to live without fear and uncertainty about what comes next. Today, I stood alongside local leaders and advocates with a clear message for the U.S. Senate: Pass the House's bill to extend TPS for Haitians!

US intelligence has assessed Trump’s current bombing campaign is doing nothing to shift the Iranian regime. But it is depleting key munitions stockpiles. We cannot bomb our way out of this. The admin needs a real plan for bringing the Iranians back to talks.

Trump promised no more forever wars. And then dragged the US into an open-ended war the American people never asked for. It’s costing lives, costing billions, and hurting the economy. The American people want affordable healthcare, gas, and groceries—not more war.

Kristi Noem didn’t even consult the State Department prior to terminating Haitian TPS. Not only is this one more instance that underscores the serious abuse of power happening at DHS, but it is yet another example of this Administration defying Federal law to accomplish their own cruel and contradictory political agenda.

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: I have deep concerns about a potential US–Saudi civilian nuclear agreement as reported, which would significantly erode existing nonproliferation standards. Any agreement must include appropriate limits on enrichment and reprocessing as well as the IAEA Additional Protocol.

President Trump has formally approved a landmark agreement with Saudi Arabia that will provide the country with a civilian nuclear program and potentially open the door to uranium enrichment in the kingdom’s territory, according to U.S. officials. on.wsj.com/3RaoTge

The Trump administration casts its foreign policies as putting "America First." In reality, it is America alone — a foreign policy of chaos and corruption that puts Americans last.
