Prime Minister @Netanyahu's decision to bar @RepRashida & @Ilhan from entry to Israel is unacceptable and wrong. It insults not just my colleagues, but the entire Congress of the United States.
As Americans, we know that free and open debate — even loud and angry debate — strengthens our democratic values.

Israel's denial of entry to Reps. Tlaib and Omar is not the act of a strong & vibrant democracy, but a sign of weakness. I strongly urge them to reconsider.
And as usual, President Trump displays cowardice and ignorance. He cares more about exploiting political division and insulting his fellow Americans than living up to the responsibilities of his office. Shame on him.

1/ Another ridiculous lie from @realDonaldTrump.

From day one, @HouseDemocrats have been focused on delivering on our promises to the American people. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell calls himself the “grim reaper” and refuses to even consider our bills.
2/ We have the receipts to back it up.
We passed #HR1, the For The People Act — the most ambitious set of ethics & election reforms in a generation. It gets big money out of politics, protects voting rights & strengthens ethics laws.
3/ We passed the #EqualityAct to ensure #LGBTQ Americans get the same legal protection as everyone else.

Proud to vote yes on @RepPerlmutter’s #SAFEBankingAct just now.

Conflict between state & federal law means legal cannabis businesses are forced to operate on a cash-only basis creating a serious public safety risk.
Now, we need to decriminalize and deschedule cannabis while providing reinvestment, restorative justice & expungement to persons & communities of color that continue to be adversely impacted by the War on Drugs.
That‘s why I am a strong supporter of the MORE Act. I look forward to voting for the MORE Act as soon as it progresses through the @HouseJudiciary Committee.

September is back to school month — but it's also #HungerActionMonth.
That's why this week, I introduced the bipartisan Healthy Breakfasts Help Kids Learn Act alongside @RodneyDavis to help make sure that no child in America goes to class on an empty stomach.
@RodneyDavis Nearly 1 in 9 children here in Massachusetts is food insecure. America is the richest country in the history of this world – yet there are 13 million kids here that deal with hunger or food insecurity.

That’s a national disgrace.
My sisters are both public school teachers. I hear from them all the time that when it comes to helping kids learn, healthy food is just as important as a textbook. We have millions of kids in this country who can’t concentrate because they are showing up to class hungry.

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Both are virulent antisemites & haters of the State of Israel. They support BDS Boycotts, dismiss & joke about the 9/11 attack that killed almost 3000 Americans in New York, & have made it very clear that they want Israel & Jews gone. 2) #BDS #terrorism #FromTheRiverToTheSea
Tlaib & Omar have shown support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and ISIS (Da'esh).
If allowed into Israel, where Israelis may think it is an opportunity to educate, these 2 Congress members will turn it into a circus & a platform 4 their anti-Israel agenda. 3 #Tlaib #Omar #terrorists

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

#OTD 3 Commando Brigade leave Portsmouth for the #Falklands aboard SS Canberra.
A section of BBC News from 9th April 1982: the Soviet Union describe the UK’s task force as "an immediate threat to international peace"

Fascinating to watch, the rest can be found here:
A CIA brief from 9th April states "the Argentines are reportedly lengthening the air strip in Port Stanley to accommodate A-4, MIRAGE, PUCARA, and C-130 aircraft and reinforcing the island with additional troops and air defence equipment"
