Bacon (R-NE-2) 03/11/2022: Tweet – “I share grave concerns w/ both R & D colleagues on where the Admin is going w/ Iran. We can NEVER legitimize an Iranian nuclear weapon, nor can we ignore Iran is the #1 exporter of terror, or the 1000s of ballistic missiles pointed at Israel & our Allies.

Gottheimer (D-NJ-5) 03/12/2022: Twitter thread – “.@Amnesty claims to campaign for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all — yet they're campaigning against the existence of a Jewish state. It's time to recognize @Amnesty for what it is — an antisemitic and anti-Zionist organization disproportionally focused on Israel. The United States must condemn efforts to libel Israel as an apartheid state through sham reports that ignore the reality on the ground in the Middle East.”

Sherman (D-CA-30) 03/11/2022: Twitter thread – “Outrageous! (1/3) Israel ‘shouldn't exist as a Jewish state,' Amnesty USA director tells Democratic group... | jewishinsider.com Will he then say there should be no State for the Ukrainian people? Or that the border btw the Netherlands & Germany is racist because there's no reason to have a State for the Dutch people? Or is he just an anti-Semite who believes that only Jews can't have a homeland? (2/3) As someone who worked hard in my local AI chapter in the 80s, & has worked for many of the objectives of @amnesty for 25 years on the Foreign Affairs Committee, it saddens me to see the reputation of this once noble organization degraded by its USA director.

Link to quoted tweetPresident Biden: "Let me clear clear on the facts – we are increasing oil production. With the record productivity, by the end of the year, we will have produced more oil than any time in the last number of years. Republicans are playing a game here." (Link to twitter.com) But it's also critical that we accelerate our transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy in the long-term so that authoritarian states like Russia and Iran can't use oil & gas as weapons against America.

Roy (R-TX-21) 03/12/2022: Tweet – “Javier is right. @JoeBiden & Dem leadership WANT to decrease oil/gas. (Set that debate aside). Then they want a hall pass for high gas prices - so try to have cake & eat it too. Russian oil ban vote just added to the conundrum (& adds geopolitical mess of Iran & others to mix). Link to quoted tweetPresident Biden's remarks earlier today. And goodness, I don't know even where to start… 🤥🤥🤥 Even accepting he misspoke (instead of “by” he meant “from”), US oil output was ~11m bd when he took office.

Castro (D-TX-20) 03/11/2022: Twitter thread – “This week, the House and Senate passed a federal spending bill that includes major provisions I pushed for to strengthen American leadership & lift up communities around the world.   Here are some of the pieces I'm most excited about as our bill heads to President Biden's desk👇 I pay my interns. It's time for @StateDept to do the same.   This bill includes $8 million I led the charge for to fund paid @StateDept internships & ensure that public service is open to all.   I thank @RepBarbaraLee for working with me to make it happen. Washington's Foreign-Policy Machine Runs on Unpaid Interns | foreignpolicy.com Our security — and the security of our allies — depend on the integrity of our intelligence community.   I authored language in this bill that prohibits employees of @CIA & @NSAGov from working for foreign governments after they leave government service.   Exclusive: Ex-NSA cyberspies reveal how they helped hack foes of UAE | reuters.com Every child deserves to grow up safe and healthy.   This bill includes $27 million that @RepBrianFitz and I fought for @USAID to help vulnerable children around the world.   This money builds on the passage of our Global Child Thrive Act, which was enacted into law last year. The United States' engagement with the Indo-Pacific is critical to our security and prosperity   I'm excited that this bill includes $21.5 million I pushed for to help the @Asia_Foundation expand their international development work and promote good governance, and equality. Supporting young leaders is how we build resilient democracies. The @StateDept's @YSEALI program does just that.   This 2022 appropriations bill includes $7.8M for this important program, which supports people-to-people exchanges between the US & ASEAN to develop young leaders. We know that foreign assistance is most effective and sustainable when we work directly with local organizations.   This bill includes necessary language that the @HispanicCaucus and I pushed for to enable @USAID to support locally-led development in the Northern Triangle. We say that Saudi Arabia is an ally but their government has consistently failed to control extremist ideologies.   This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to shine a light on Saudi Arabia's role in spreading extremism by reporting to Congress. When the United States provides security assistance to another country, we have a responsibility to ensure that it is not being used to violate human rights.   I'm glad to see that this bill requires a report I called for to document human rights violations by these nations.”
