We killed the most powerful man in Tehran short of the Ayatollah. This was not an act of revenge for what he had done in the past. This was a preemptive, defensive strike planned to take out the organizer of attacks yet to come.

I just spoke with Judge Kavanaugh congratulating him on Senate confirmation to serve as Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. I told Judge Kavanaugh I was very happy he was recognized for the good man he is, but sad that the process was so despicable.

I’m very pleased the Senate has rejected Democrats’ request to call additional witnesses after the House chose not to. As I have stated, this is not an impeachable offense and the witnesses sought by the House managers were available to them in the House.

I have just received topline findings from Attorney General Barr. Good day for the rule of law. Great day for President Trump and his team. No collusion and no obstruction. The cloud hanging over President Trump has been removed by this report.

Can’t blame for boycotting the State of the Union....... Must be painful for a committed socialist to hear the RECORD accomplishments regarding economic growth and prosperity we have achieved under President !

After much deliberation, I have decided that I will not use my presence at a state ceremony to normalize Trump’s lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution. None of this is normal, and I will not legitimize it. Consequently, I will not be attending the State of the Union.

Is it too much to ask for members of Congress to stop slandering those who serve on the border trying to protect this nation against an onslaught of illegal immigration?

Twitter may ban me for this but I willingly accept that fate: Your decision to permanently ban President Trump is a serious mistake. The Ayatollah can tweet, but Trump can’t. Says a lot about the people who run Twitter.

I recommend she take a tour of the Holocaust Museum in DC. Might help her better understand the differences between the Holocaust and the caravan in Tijuana.

Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime. It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany. It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda. It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria. And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America. twitter.com/NBCNews/status…

With all due respect to my Republican colleagues, a $2k direct payment for individuals and families who are struggling is not socialism. In my view it is necessary in the times in which we live.

The Chinese aren’t smarter than we are. They don’t work harder than we do. They CHEAT. The cost of surrendering to China’s cheating is greater than the cost of confronting it. It’s either pay SOME now or pay a LOT later. I'm glad President Trump is standing up to China.

I support President 's insistence Section 230 repeal be part of the defense authorization bill. Big Tech is the only industry in America that cannot be sued for their business practices and are not meaningfully regulated. This must come to an end.

Wow. Robert Mueller changing the job of a prosecutor from proving someone ‘Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt’ to ‘Not being able to exonerate someone accused of a crime.’ Dangerous and ridiculous.

The situation at our southern border is dangerous and growing worse. It’s not a hoax. It’s not a ‘manufactured’ crisis. It is real. It is serious. It is a threat. And it poses a direct challenge to the safety and security of the citizens of the US.

Just had a very good meeting with President and his team regarding the situation in Iraq. President Trump is determined to protect American personnel and expects our Iraqi partners to step up to the plate. No more Benghazis.

Stunning admission by the House Managers. The House Managers on the floor admitted that going to federal court would get in the way of impeaching the President before the election. And in that case — the Court be damned!

Requiring an FBI investigation of a 36 year old allegation (without specific references to time or location) before Professor Ford will appear before the Judiciary Committee is not about finding the truth, but delaying the process till after the midterm elections.

Good decision by President to address the nation about the crisis at our southern border. Great opportunity to explain to the American people why we need more border security funding. The current situation at the border is indeed a national security crisis.

I love Joe Biden as a person but we are not going to give a pass to what is obviously a conflict of interest. I believe Hunter Biden’s association on the Burisma board doesn’t pass the smell test. If a Republican was in the same position, they’d certainly be investigated!

Whether you agree with impeachment or not, Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached a new level. House Democrats refusing to send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate because they don’t like the way we may do the trial – that is just scary.

When it comes to the death of General Soleimani, there is no one to blame but himself. He effectively signed his own death warrant by planning massive attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.

Wow - the price of killing and injuring Americans has just gone up drastically. Major blow to Iranian regime that has American blood on its hands. Soleimani was one of the most ruthless and vicious members of the Ayatollah's regime. He had American blood on his hands.

This Constitutional outrage by needs to end. She is trying to run the Senate and deny President his day in court after the House’s sham impeachment process.

The House cannot choose our impeachment managers until we know what sort of trial the Senate will conduct. President Trump blocked his own witnesses and documents from the House, and from the American people, on phony complaints about the House process. What is his excuse now?

It’s time for , who claimed impeachment was a national imperative, to fish or cut bait. Commit to sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate consistent with Constitutional obligations.

Nancy Pelosi, who has already lost the House & Speakership once, & is about to lose it again, is doing everything she can to delay the zero Republican vote Articles of Impeachment. She is trying to take over the Senate, & Cryin’ Chuck is trying to take over the trial. No way!....

The best way to sum up this whole debacle is to understand that Senator Schumer’s desire for Lev Parnas to attend the Senate trial apparently cannot be accommodated because Mr. Parnas has an electronic ankle bracelet imposed upon him by the court. You can’t make this up.

So now it’s “Bribery.” Who did the president “Bribe” and what did he get for it? Be specific. The truth is that “Bribery” is a made-up, poll tested charge without any factual basis in this case.

After Mr. McCabe’s 60 Minutes interview, it is imperative that he, and others, come before @senjudiciary to fully explain how and why a FISA warrant was issued against Carter Page and answer questions about what appears to be, now more than ever, bias against President Trump.

Speaker Pelosi’s refusal to negotiate on Wall/Barrier funding – even if the government were to be reopened – virtually ends congressional path to fund Wall/Barrier. Time for President to use emergency powers to build Wall/Barrier. I hope it works.

Never forget it was the Obama-Biden Administration who withdrew all troops from Iraq — against sound military advice. Their decision led to the rise of ISIS, 500K deaths in Syria, and ISIS planned and inspired attacks throughout Europe and the US.
