- I will never back down in speaking truth to power. The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent.
- Just had to go through a metal detector before entering the House floor. Some colleagues are frustrated (guess which ones) by this requirement. Now they know how HS students in my district feel. Suck it up buttercups. Y’all brought this on yourselves.
- I was there. It was disgusting.

- Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law. Period.BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike has hit a school in central Gaza, killing at least 30, Palestinian health officials say. apnews.com/article/israel…
- I am ready to impeach him again.
- Can I please be there to say goodbye to the Secretary of Education, Betsy Devos?
- By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.
