Thank you, Mr. Hoyer, for bringing us together to mourn the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Elijah Cummings. Thank you for your beautiful statement calling forth so many of the beautiful attributes of Elijah Cummings.

President Trump is flailing. The President’s decision to reverse sanctions against Turkey for brutally attacking our Kurdish partners in exchange for a sham ceasefire seriously undermines the credibility of America’s foreign policy and sends a dangerous message to our allies and adversaries alike that our word cannot be trusted.

Today is a very sad day for us, as we all are waking to the sad news of the passing of our dear friend, revered and respected colleague, Congressman, Mr. Chairman, Elijah Cummings of Maryland, my brother in Baltimore.
