Waverly Woodson has long been denied proper recognition for D-Day heroism. I’ve worked w/his family for yrs to right that wrong & I’m proud to announce he's been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross—the highest honor the Army can bestow on its authority.politico.com/news/magazine/…

Anyone who wants to secure the release of the hostages and an enduring ceasefire in Gaza must accept the plan outlined Friday by President Biden. Hamas must accept it at once. PM Netanyahu must now stand firm against those in his government who are trying to derail it.

Here's the full list of Republicans who voted for the bill:

Everyone is entitled to due process, and Donald Trump had his. This guilty verdict and the many ongoing criminal cases against Trump make it clear to the world: in the United States, no one is above the law.

.Senator Tim Kaine is right — this is exactly why we fought against adding more flights to DCA, which is already overcrowded & has the busiest runway in the nation.

Filing taxes should be easy and free, no matter where you live. This move from Treasury Department and IRSnews will help millions of Americans save time and money as they file their taxes each year. nbcnews.com/business/taxes…

It's clear that we can't count on individual justices to hold themselves accountable. This is exactly why there must be a binding, enforceable code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

And if they won't enact one themselves, then Congress needs to do it by passing the SCERT Act.

This backwards ruling is the latest consequence of Beijing’s draconian “national security law” — which has done nothing but crush dissent & democracy in Hong Kong.

We MUST hold those subverting freedom accountable using tools we passed in my bipartisan Hong Kong Autonomy Act.

A partnership must be a two-way street, not a one-way blank check to the Netanyahu government ⬇️

I welcome the decision by the Egyptian gov't to release Mahmoud Mohamed Hussein, who had been imprisoned for expressing political beliefs.

On Memorial Day, we remember and honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. We are forever indebted to them and their families.

Every day is a good day to talk about supporting the MD National Guard! But it’s an especially good day when you get to do it alongside Maj Gen Birckhead, Gen Dougherty, and Brig Gen Kremser. I appreciate them stopping by today to discuss our efforts to keep our Maryland Guard strong!

An important part of latest President Biden move to provide necessary student loan relief: he’s fixing rules to allow more borrowers to obtain relief they EARNED by serving our communities. 
 
MAGA Rs love to help big banks, but they attack these moves to help working families. Go figure.

In our post-Roe world, we've already seen devastating cases of women being denied emergency care.

This move by President Biden will make it easier for patients to take quick action & ensure hospitals follow federal law — a necessary step in face of MAGA madness. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/05…

New report, same story: Big Oil continues to break climate pledges while expanding fossil fuel production & raking in huge profits.
