This is an epic waste of taxpayer dollars and a depressing misdirection of human capability.
The Good Friday Accords are the bedrock of peace in Northern Ireland and a beacon of hope for the world. Ensuring there is no physical border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland is necessary for upholding this landmark agreement, which transformed Northern Ireland.
I thank Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA-12) for her faithful and consistent support of the #GFA and peace in Ireland. I was proud to accompany her in 2019 to London, Dublin, and N. Ireland when we communicated this message.
Covid has crushed our restaurants. @HouseDemocrats and @SenateDems have proposed reloading the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. Nearly EVERY Republican voted against it and killed the bill. Here’s what a Bay Area restaurant owner shared with me when he learned the bad news.

I discussed last week's troubling Lufthansa incident with its CEO Carsten Spohr this morning. We cannot allow antisemitism to go unchecked. I urged Lufthansa’s CEO to thoroughly investigate, demand accountability and set an example of how corporations must confront antisemitism.

FDA Commissioner grilled on when baby formula will return to shelves
The nationwide baby formula shortage is spurring bipartisan outrage on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers pressed FDA Commissioner Robert Califf on when formula will be back on shelves.
