In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“For decades, American presidents from both parties have warned successive Israeli governments that construction in E1 threatened the viability of a Palestinian state and was unacceptable to the United States. As Palestinian civilians face a campaign of devastation and fear from violent extremist settlers, the United States must send a strong message that this behavior is unacceptable and that it remains committed to freedom, security, prosperity, and self-determination for all Israelis and Palestinians.”
Senators Coons, Warren, Wyden, Gallego introduce bill to impose sanctions on Israeli settlement construction in the E1 area of the West BankSep 23, 2026 · Official · coons.senate.gov [Official] · source
“The college sports that are beloved by millions of Americans are in a genuine crisis. The bipartisan Protect College Sports Act is a strong compromise that addresses transfer and eligibility issues. That's a real win for hundreds of thousands of student-athletes in every sport and at every level who will have new scholarship protections, stronger rights around contracts involving their name, image, and likeness, access to tens of millions of new dollars in direct payments from their schools, improved and lasting healthcare guarantees, and a better process to enforce their rights at school and in court. It's a win for teams, programs, student-athletes, conferences, and fans who want to know that both the schools and those who play for them are on stronger, more stable footing.”
