    I spoke last summer about mob violence, quoting Abraham Lincoln: “There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.” And to borrow from U.S. Grant, I’ll fight it out on this line as long as it takes.

    Some senators, for political gain, misled supporters about their ability to challenge the election results--some even sent out fundraising emails while insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. That stops now--Republicans ought to focus on countering the Democrats' radical agenda.

    It shouldn't matter what signs they carry--there's no acceptable basis for mob violence in this country.

    Violence and anarchy are unacceptable. We are a nation of laws. This needs to end now.

    This violence is unacceptable and needs to be met with the full force of the law. God bless the Capitol Police who are keeping us safe.

    Those with ALS shouldn’t have to wait for assistance, especially given their tragically short life expectancy—and now they won’t have to. I’m grateful to my colleagues in Congress and the president for helping bring relief to Americans living with ALS.

    After months of Democratic stalling, Congress finally passed updated relief for Arkansans and Americans around the country. I’m pleased that many provisions helping Arkansans recover and get back to work were included in the final bill.

    Win for taxpayers and for an independent Fed. Repurposes $429 billion in unused CARES Act funds to help pay for the new relief. Closes CARES Act lending facilities, blocks restart/copycats- stops Dems from using the Fed to circumvent Congress for policies they can't get enacted.

    Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer are blocking COVID relief because they want a slush fund for their political cronies. And they’re lying about Pat Toomey. The “Toomey language” is in fact the position of the Republican Senate Conference.

    Democrats are mad because they want to use the Fed as a slush fund. They’re blocking aid to small businesses and the unemployed for this new demand. Just like Nancy Pelosi who blocked aid for months to hurt President Trump, Senate Democrats are playing politics.

    Don't be fooled by the media: Democrats are blocking the COVID relief bill. They're pretending Pat Toomey’s language to prevent a slush fund is new—that’s false. We’ve discussed this repeatedly.

    Joe Biden's son is being investigated for trading on his name. There couldn't be a bigger conflict of interest and this investigation calls for a special counsel.

    Now Joe Biden has nominated to run HHS, which means Becerra would lead the very department that is charged with enforcing the law against violations he defended as California AG. Huge conflict of interest. We need to defeat Becerra’s nomination so justice is done.

    Abortion radicals & have flagrantly violated federal law by forcing abortion coverage into every health plan in California. I commend HHS’s decision to withhold $200 million in funds from CA until it complies w/ the law:

    Democratic mayors & governors are holding up coronavirus relief to regular Americans by demanding bailout money from their patrons in Washington. At the same time, those mayors & governors have prevented their constituents from earning a living. Unconscionable and heartless.

    The US Department of Justice. “Online child sexual exploitation is a global crime that demands a continued global response. And yet an expansion of the “ePrivacy Directive” slated to take effect in the European Union this month may prohibit tech companies from using some of the most powerful tools available to detect child sexual abuse material and grooming by predators, making it easier for children to be exploited without detection. We commend Senators Cotton, Loeffler, and Boozman for introducing a resolution that encourages the EU to preserve companies’ ability to detect and prevent child exploitation, consistent with the Voluntary Principles to Counter Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse." William P Barr, Attorney General
