RM Meeks stands with AFGE, AFSA & the more than 1,300 dedicated civil & foreign service employees fired by Trump & Rubio last year—some of America's best & brightest working to advance US national security every day. Their firing was unjust & self-defeating. Democrats will fight for accountability.

Rubio is doubling down on more Cuba sanctions with no clear policy goal, no coherent strategy, and no meaningful consultation with Congress. After 60+ years of failed sanctions-first policy, it's time for a different course that doesn’t worsen the humanitarian crisis.

Trump and Republicans have no problem ripping away healthcare from the American people. But won't hesitate to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on an illegal war of choice in Iran. Trump and Republicans' priorities are crystal clear.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov following the Senate’s approval of his Iran War Powers Resolution:

Trump's disastrous Iran war, combined with the admin's foreign aid cuts, has exacerbated global food insecurity and now threatens to push millions around the world closer to famine. No man, woman or child should ever die of hunger. This is avoidable. The US must do more to help.

1/ USAID OIG released an advisory on the Trump admin withholding family planning commodities overseas. Rather than deliver these taxpayer-funded supplies, the admin is paying millions to let them expire in a warehouse. This is ACTUAL waste of American tax dollars. oig.usaid.gov/node/8159

RM @meeks.house.gov: The future of Colombia must be decided by the Colombian people—not Donald Trump or any foreign government trying to tip the scales.

In 2015 the JCPOA stated explicitly that "under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or ACQUIRE any nuclear weapons." Now after ripping up that deal and launching a massively costly war of choice, Trump's just reviving that same language in a "new" deal.

Pay to Play in 3 acts: Act I: Trump illegally demolishes WH East Wing Act II: Corporations "donate" $400M to build ballroom Act III: Trump admin gifts donors with $50B in new government funding In any other country, the State Department would sanction a government for this.
