Shame on the 100 Democrats that refused to vote for a resolution denouncing socialism & opposing the implementation of socialist policies in the US. While some news outlets like to downplay the presence of socialism among leaders of the Democratic Party, this is undeniable proof.

The federal govt’s expansion of telework during the pandemic continues to create massive backlogs & delay assistance to veterans, tax refunds, & other essential services. Today I voted for the SHOW UP Act to require federal agencies to return to their pre-Covid telework policies.

I had the honor of meeting with a delegation from Jordan, including His Majesty King Abdullah II, to discuss issues of mutual concern such as strengthening US-Jordan relations, Middle East peace, and security.

Big victory for House Republicans today, who passed the Freedom For Health Care Workers Act to eliminate the federal #COVID19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, & the Pandemic is Over Act to officially end the public health emergency and cut unnecessary careless spending.

(2/2) Our good men & women in U.S. law enforcement have nothing in common with the thugs that oppress the Cuban people. The rot comes from the top: the Cuban regime has no respect for the rule of law or fundamental rights. To pretend otherwise is absurd.

(1/2) It's appalling that the Biden Admin would sit down & legitimize the Cuban regime that has tortured, imprisoned, & murdered activists, perpetrated the Bahia Honda massacre, & continues to harbor fugitives, such as one of the FBI's "Most Wanted Terrorist" Joanne Chesimard.

(2/2) Los hombres y mujeres en las fuerzas del orden de EE.UU. no tienen nada en común con los matones que oprimen al pueblo cubano. La podredumbre viene de arriba: el régimen cubano no respeta el estado de derecho ni los derechos fundamentales. Pretender lo contrario es absurdo.

(1/2) Es despreciable que la Admin Biden se reúna y legitime al régimen cubano que ha torturado, encarcelado, y asesinado a activistas, perpetró la masacre de Bahía Honda, y continua albergando a fugitivos como una de las “terroristas más buscadas” del FBI, Joanne Chesimard.
