While many of us sleep comfortably tonight, countless children, mothers, and fathers will have nowhere to go. And many of them have spent years knowing that any moment could be their last when the IDF can bomb them from the sky and face zero consequences.

The scale of destruction in #Gaza is beyond measure. Over 61 million tons of debris now cover the Gaza Strip — homes, schools, and hospitals reduced to rubble. Amid unliveable conditions, people keep moving in search of safety and dignity.

As we witness horrific scenes in El-Fasher, the UAE continues arming the RSF — which the U.S. has determined is committing genocide.   Enough. We must pass my bill to block arms sales to the UAE until it stops fueling the RSF's war crimes in Sudan.

Sudan is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and a genocide. Tens of thousands dead. 12 million displaced. The images of the RSF seizing El Fasher are horrific. The UAE and other arms dealers to the RSF and RSF-aligned militias must be held accountable.

Sudan 🇸🇩: RSF militants are chasing people who fled from El Fasher through the Wana hills northwest of the city. Many of the civilians from El Fasher haven't eaten for days. They're literally running for their lives, through the desert, using the last bit of strength they have.

This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future.

Democratic party leaders like Chuck Schumer refuse to endorse Mamdani. And The New York Times wrongly cautions against him. Both are wrong

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children. The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children. Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.
