thrilled to join Gator Nation in February — very excited about the work ahead. Melissa and I have had the great honor of serving Nebraskans in the Senate these 8 yrs — I will finish out the upcoming lameduck session and resign in the first week of January

The @FLBOG approved Dr. Ben Sasse as the University of Florida's next president. Ben's a consensus-builder with an exciting vision for #GatorNation. We look forward to welcoming his family to Gainesville and to UF's continued momentum under his leadership. 🐊

Ukrainian moms disapprove of Chairman Xi’s support for Vladimir Putin’s bloody invasion that has no basis in international law. It has long been proved that committing war crimes against civilians, far from being a solution, will only create new problems.

China disapproves of the use of sanctions to solve problems, still less unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law. It has long been proved that sanctions, far from being a solution, will only create new problems.

Apparently the NSC has debated whether giving real time intel to Ukraine would make the US a co-belligerent under international law. Who cares? Putin doesn’t care about international law. And Putin has made clear the sanctions Europe and the US just imposed are an act of war.

I’ll say this again and again: The Administration needs to share actionable intelligence with Ukrainians faster. Russian invaders targeting civilians are surrounding Kyiv. Share intel faster, before they slaughter more innocents

Zelensky is a bigger man than Putin. The whole world knows. Russian army knows. Even the dictator’s cronies know.

For those with whiplash, some of the changes to German foreign & security policy in the last week: - de facto death of Nord Stream 2 - substantial arms deliveries to Ukraine, directly and via 3rd countries - €100bn investment in armed forces & commitment to 2% NATO goal (1/2)

Multiple reports and videos of Russian vehicles running out of fuel, stuck on the roads in Ukraine. There’s now an online campaign here telling Ukrainians, ‘if Russians ask you for fuel, give it to them, half full of sugar.’

Just listened to an interview with the father of a Russian soldier who had been captured in Ukraine. After praying for his son’s safety, he said, with visible anger: “Why aren’t the sons of oligarchs out there fighting this senseless war? Where are they? Who needs this war?”

tells me US must sanction the “corrupt jackasses” propping up the Russian regime & provide intel support and arms to the Ukrainian military. “Appeasement never works with a jackass like Putin,” he says.

China’s main export is espionage, and the distinction between the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese “private-sector” businesses like Huawei is imaginary. The President is right to recognize this reality and issue this order.

Donald Trump has signed an executive order effectively banning US companies from using telecoms equipment manufactured by Huawei. The order gives the US commerce secretary power to prohibit deals that pose 'an unacceptable risk' to national security on.ft.com/2HssNJr

When asked how he has been able to remain positive about the situation, Kaser joked that it's because of his headstrong ways. “I guess I’m stubborn. I don’t want to give up," he said.
