There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.
Trump waives many Russian sanctions, tariffs under new law backed by Lindsey Graham foxbusiness.com/politics/tru…

We will be introducing bipartisan legislation to block any and all purchases of Russian oil. It will be called the “Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act.” It will be forced to the Floor via discharge and it will pass overwhelmingly. #PeaceThroughStrength

The FBI just caught Russia trying to commit assassinations on U.S. soil. It has aided Iran which is at war with the U.S. and it is not cooperating with the U.S. while there is concern about a lab leak while Russia remains in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention.
President Trump joins the many who believe that Ukraine needs leadership actually focused on peace, not Zelensky’s warmongering: “It’s time for Ukraine to get a new president.”
Iconic and historic. 🕊️

Who still carries out public executions:
The Iranian regime
The North Korean regime
The Taliban in Afghanistan
Al-Shabaab in Somalia
That is not the company we want to keep or the country we want to be.

Shame on you for trying to blow a kiss and slap Israelis in the face at the same time.
On October 7, Hamas raped, burned, and murdered Israelis and Americans in front of their loved ones. They kidnapped others and tortured them for months.
This is antisemitism, no matter how you try to put a bow on it. Israelis have every right to defend themselves. If this happened in the U.S., you can bet we would defend ourselves too.
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

The UN "Human Rights Council" sided with Russia against countries that sanction human rights abusers.
Yet another example of why the UN is dysfunctional.
No Joke: The U.N. Human Rights Council just adopted a Russian-sponsored resolution demanding — in the name of human rights — that Western democracies stop sanctioning oppressive regimes.

We should not send our American students to China.
Last month when he visited the White House, President Xi invited 100,000 Americans to study in China. This summer, China invited an American scholar to a conference, then arrested and jailed him.
Keep our kids away from the Chinese Communist Party.

Oil is flowing again, and the Iranian regime’s currency is in free fall. The only way this war ends is to keep up maximum pressure.
When the regime is defeated, Iran will no longer be a threat to Israel or our Gulf allies, and China and Russia lose too.

A great night supporting @JennyHoneycutt for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District. Jenny will bring fiscal discipline to Washington, focus on affordability, back our law enforcement and military, and put South Carolinians first.

Since 2015, the UN has passed 188 resolutions condemning Israel.
That's more than twice as many as against the rest of the world combined—Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela included.
Yet diplomats sat politely through a speech from Iran, a regime that has killed thousands of its own citizens and still persecutes them.
It's not about human rights. It's blatant anti-Israel bias.
"If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now."
⠀
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opens his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York with a sharp rebuke as delegates walk out of the hall in protest of his speech.

Today President Xi will attempt to give false hope of a more cooperative relationship with the US while continuing to fund Russia’s war against Ukraine, support Iran in the war against us, and continue cyber attacks on America. Presidents in the past have been naive when it comes to China. We have to learn from past mistakes with China and be clear eyed about their continued aggression against the US and our allies.

Putin attacked Ukraine. Putin has helped the Iranians in the war against the US. Putin continues to threaten our NATO allies. This is irresponsible.
BREAKING!! Rubio says the U.S. has invited Putin to the G20 summit in Miami this December.
“We think it’s an opportunity for him to engage not just with the president, but with other world leaders”

In pointed floor speech, Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker says that as Xi visits that Trump "should keep in mind that his guest is a brutal, unelected and oppressive dictator who seeks to dominate his neighbors and whose massive military arsenal is aimed directly" at the USA
Wicker says had Trump asked him he "would have suggested the president not invite [Xi] to Washington for such a lavish welcome here in the United States of America"
Says Trump should ask Xi about China military build-up, the thousands of Uighur people who "have been sent to concentration camps," political prisoners and China's "interference in the internal affairs of nations around the world"

China is arming Russia with drone parts used to kill Ukrainians. China is arming Iran with satellite imagery to target U.S. military bases. Xi knows exactly what he's doing and should be held accountable.

A Russian drone struck a Ukrainian train station only a mile from the border of Poland. It just missed both European and American officials. This isn't Putin being reckless. He is seeing how far he can go before anyone pushes back.
A Russian attack on Ukraine is drawing new international scrutiny. Drones hit a train near the border with Poland. More than 200 people were on board, including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
