"Today will no doubt go down as the saddest day in the history of Uvalde. Our hearts are torn and broken."

The Uvalde judge who said that just now rightly marks this saddest day for his community. (1/15) Like the saddest day in Newtown and the saddest days in my own community.

And the sadness and broken hearts march from city to city across America. Only America. (2/15)

Today we commemorate Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, to honor the six million Jews who were slaughtered during one of the world’s darkest moments.

Today and every day, we fight against deadly violence, hatred, and indifference to suffering, wherever it exists. (1/4) More than 76 years after the Holocaust, Holocaust denial is still perpetuated.

As we lose more and more survivors and their first-hand accounts, knowledge of the events is fading with younger generations. And violent antisemitic attacks continue to occur. (2/4)

I welcome the announcement of the restoration of humanitarian & development assistance to the Palestinian people.

The US has long provided assistance that contributes to the health, well-being and prosperity of Palestinians, and to the overall stability of the region. (1/5) Our bilateral assistance is provided in accordance with all applicable US laws, like the Taylor Force Act, as the Biden admin. has noted. (2/5)

[THREAD] My dad, the late Bernard Deutch, served our country in battle, earning a Purple Heart fighting the Nazis at the Battle of the Bulge. He believed in America because of the opportunities it offered his immigrant father and the hope it offered the little guy to succeed. 1/8 My mom, the late Jean Deutch, never got to go to college but made sure her 5 kids had that opportunity. She sat in the House gallery when her youngest son was sworn into Congress.

I’ll be thinking about them & everyone just like them at President Joe Biden's inauguration. 2/8

Despite diplomatic efforts & a ceasefire, violence still plagues Yemen.

Along w/ reduced international aid, this could exacerbate the spread of COVID19.

@RepJoeWilson & I hosted a @HouseForeign MENAIT Subcommittee virtual event to examine humanitarian crisis. (1/4) Our members are focused on COVID19's impact on our communities & constituents. This pandemic demonstrates that developments abroad can jeopardize national security at home.

The US must continue to help end the war, reduce humanitarian suffering & contain COVID-19 in Yemen.(2/4)

.@Jim_Jordan claims @HouseJudiciary is changing the rules midway on impeachment.

Wrong.

It was his own party that changed the rules in 2015.

politico.com/story/2018/10/… As I wrote last month, “In the past, a resolution directing @HouseJudiciary to consider impeachment was needed to grant the committee additional subpoena authority & financial resources. That was the official start of an impeachment inquiry.

I really don't understand how the principal of Spanish River Community High School in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, could question the historical fact that is Hitler's slaughter of six million Jews. (THREAD) My children attended Spanish River, and they participated in Holocaust education programs with some of the many Holocaust survivors who live in our community. Palm Beach County, Broward County, and the entire State of Florida teach the Holocaust as historical fact, a fact that...

I don’t want to keep talking about how there are at least 10 instances of obstruction of justice in the Mueller Report. I want everyone in America to understand what they are.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s @HouseJudiciary hearing.

Teachers have made it clear they don't want guns in their classrooms. Yet Kansas lawmakers are considering a proposal that would all but force them to carry weapons by placing the liability for school shootings on the school itself. (1/5) Also, a little FYI to @NRA and the Kansas legislature, guns in schools are already putting kids in danger. (2/5)
