As we face challenges and uncertainty around the globe, it makes no sense to turn your back to progress, to ignore the pleas of our allies, and to disregard wise counsel and hard core facts. The price of peace is persistence, but the cost of war is always too high.

To this very day, experts and allies agree that the agreement was working to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Iran cannot have nuclear weapons—but the United States must be a headlight and not a taillight, leading the world on the path to peace through the hard, necessary work of diplomacy.

Nearly 3 years ago, I supported the agreement after constant study, briefings, and discussions. During the debate on the House Floor, I warned that we could not let the perfect be the enemy of the good in the quest for nonviolence, especially when the alternative is nonexistence.

Never before has the credibility of the United States been so undermined by a gross failure to honor our commitments.

It is a sad and dark hour for our nation and the global family. This administration’s decision to withdraw the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is a major blow to all those working to bring peace to the world community.

I believe we have a right to know what is in the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. On this #EarthDay, we must resolve to do all that we can to leave this planet we call Earth a little cleaner and a little greener for generations yet unborn. #goodtrouble

To the young people speaking up and speaking out today, my heart is with you. Keep walking and keep marching all the way to the polls in November. You will change America. #NationalSchoolWalkout

I was saddened by the passing of Rev. F.D. Reese. I first met Rev. Reese in 1963 on my first trip to Selma. He helped create the climate for the Voting Rights Act. I’m terribly sorry for his loss, not just for Selma or the state of Alabama, but the nation. selmatimesjournal.com/2018/04/05/rev…

Fifty years after the loss of his mentor and friend, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., @RepJohnLewis reminds us that real progress occurs when we look into our hearts and trust that justice will prevail. #MLK50 pic.twitter.com/rSr6VffMlE

This week—50 years since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed—@BarackObama and @RepJohnLewis sat down with a group of young men for an @MBK_Alliance roundtable to talk about Dr. King's legacy and the courage it takes to stand up for what you believe in: go.obama.org/mlk50 pic.twitter.com/Y0b0RpJ36D

50 years ago today, I learned the painful news that my friend, my mentor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis, TN. He was my brother, my leader--that day it felt like something died in all of us. pic.twitter.com/WkjkxJvXTC

Sometimes you have to get in trouble--good trouble, necessary trouble--to make a way out of no way.

53 years ago today, we were beaten, tear gassed, trampled by horses, and left bloody on the bridge in Selma. On this anniversary, we cannot rest. We must honor those who gave their lives for the right to vote. We must continue to find a way to get in the way. #goodtrouble pic.twitter.com/pryA7cFSM8

58 years ago today, I was arrested for the first time as a participant in the sit-ins at lunch counters in downtown Nashville. Walking out to the paddy wagons, I tried to walk with a sense of pride & dignity. I felt free, I felt liberated. I felt like I crossed over. #goodtrouble pic.twitter.com/NSwsxarnva

Never has there been a more important time to guarantee that each voice can freely speak up and speak out. We cannot allow a few powerful companies to control what you see and do on the Internet. We must save #NetNeutrality to guarantee a free & open internet for all #goodtrouble

.@SpeakerRyan Mr. Speaker, the time for action is now. We know the facts. There are too many guns. How many more children must die? How many more students? How many more teachers? People who are not willing to lead should get out of the way.

It is unbelievable, it is unreal that we consider a bill that turns the clock backwards and strikes a devastating blow in the fight for civil rights. youtube.com/watch?v=41Tp_Q…

We are shocked and numb. How many more must die? Our conscience must move us to action. It is time for the American people to demand action from their elected leaders.
