Now is the time to pass this Russia sanctions legislation to continue the momentum that Ukraine has against Russia.
I sat down with @AaronParnas on the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act.
The momentum is on Ukraine's side right now. Anything we can do to get Vladimir Putin to the table, now is the time to do it.

As health care prices soar, millions of Americans are forced to choose between affording life-saving insulin or paying for rent or groceries.
No one should have to make that choice.
By capping insulin at $35 per month, my INSULIN Act ensures that’s the case.

Oil prices are spiking again as the President engulfs us further into a war that Americans have made clear they do not support.
@POTUS should never have started this war, and he's asking the American people to foot the bill—both at the gas pump and with their tax dollars.

The Iran War never should have started, and @POTUS hasn't achieved any of the goals he set out.
We have a more hardline regime, we haven't dealt with their nuclear program and now the Strait is a pawn in this war—raising costs on American families.
This war needs to end.

Doug Mastriano has stated that the European Union is a "rising rival" to the U.S. comparable to China.
He's now being nominated as ambassador to Slovakia—an EU nation.
HEGSETH: I appreciate as much as anyone winning a war, but I sit in front of a committee that wants to talk about winning a war that's been going for four years, and talks about strategic defeat in a conflict that's been going on for four months to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb
SHAHEEN: I don't want to hear your speech

I asked @SecWar: "At what point do you stop asking the American people to foot the bill for a war they don’t support?"
He had no response.
Nearly half of those managing diabetes are forced to shell out thousands a year to afford the insulin they need to live.

Ukraine’s Defense Minister Fedorov has helped change the direction of this war.
I hope President Zelenskyy listens to the concerns raised by the Ukrainian people.
There were severe sanctions on Iran at the start of this war, but if President Trump wants to do additional sanctions, let’s do it in a separate bill.
But this bill is moving and it will put more pressure on Putin.

Our Russia sanctions legislation narrowly targets the biggest purchasers of Russian oil and gas that are funding their war machine.
If we can put more pressure on Putin, we can get him to the table and end this war.

Our nation is at war. Americans are struggling to afford everyday essentials.
Yet tonight, the President is using his time to rehash baseless grievances from six years ago.
Whatever he may claim, the President lost in 2020. It has been proven over and over.
