Ukraine reminds us that the struggle for freedom is universal and that Pharaohs arise in every place and generation to restrict our freedom. Ukrainian fighters and refugees remind us that the struggle for freedom is eternal.

We’re grateful for the officers who protected the Capitol on January 6—and thankful for those protecting it this weekend.
Violence and insurrection as we saw on January 6 has no place in our society and the safety of those who defend our democracy must be ensured.

Vice President is hard at work rebuilding our alliances and restoring America’s leadership on the world stage. 👏
