All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza. We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine. I will not participate in this carnage. When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/

If true, this is the right decision. I want to commend the President and Secretary of State for making a decision consistent with American values. I was glad to join many colleagues in Congress in urging this action. Most of all, thanks to the American people who have spoken up.

San Antonio's servicemembers, cybersecurity pros, & business travelers spend hours stuck on layovers when traveling to the Pentagon and the nation's capital. I'm pushing the Congress to approve new flight slots at @Reagan_Airport to open up new direct flights from @SATAirport .

Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok

Starting in November, DACA recipients will be eligible for ACA coverage! Along w/many others, @CoryBooker and I have pushed for this for years, as DACA recipients already pay to support ACA coverage. @POTUS ' move to expand eligibility is a big step toward healthier communities.
