President Biden thinks flip-flopping on one D.C. crime bill will stop Democrats' bad press on violent crime. Not a chance. The whole country is suffering, not just Washington — after years of pro-criminal policies and anti-cop rhetoric from federal, state, and local Democrats.

There he goes again. President Biden fearmongering about democracy every time he's facing bad headlines. It's total disinformation. The Georgia law he attacked created record-high turnout, fast lines, and high voter satisfaction including among Black voters. twitter.com/WSJ/status/163…

The White House and House Democrats came out against Republicans overturning D.C.’s soft-on-crime law. Now Dems want to flip-flop. But the record’s clear. Last year every Senate Democrat voted on party lines against using some of their reckless spending spree to combat crime.

Protecting America’s interests takes power, presence, and partners. President Biden needs to rally our allies to put maximum pressure on Tehran and clear the roadblocks preventing our friends in the Middle East from defending themselves with superior American weapons.

Pres. Biden’s mistakes have reduced America's influence and credibility in the Middle East. We must not push away our partners through weakness or blunders. The U.S. will have a weaker, not stronger, hand in Asia if we strategically concede the Middle East to China and Russia.

Elaine and I send our deepest condolences to the grieving families who lost loved ones as a result of the severe weather across Kentucky. We will continue to pray for all of the storm victims and their families and I stand ready to assist with our recovery in the days ahead.

Getting murderers off our streets and foreign poison out of our neighborhoods are among the most basic governing responsibilities you could think of. Evidently, the Biden Administration either does not agree or just cannot deliver.

Pres. Biden's DOJ zealously goes after conservative citizens but ignores times the far left breaks the law. School board parents and “traditional” Christians get scrutiny while illegal protests at judges' homes go unpunished & attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers go unindicted.

Our country's decline in law and order hasn’t been happenstance. Today’s Democratic Party has made a deliberate decision to make public safety and innocent citizens a lower priority than repeat criminal offenders. The American people want and deserve law and order.

Americans deserve a judiciary made up of the best and brightest. But Democrats' nominees have fewer top clerkships and top academic honors than Republicans’ nominees had. One Biden nominee didn't know Article II of the Constitution. Another attacked a teenage victim’s anonymity.

Our nation’s capital doesn't belong to a few soft-on-crime local politicians, it belongs to the American people. Murders and carjackings in Washington D.C. are soaring and the liberals' response was to reduce sentences even more. Time for Congress to follow the law and step up.

Democrats want Washington to dictate your childcare choices, your kitchen appliances, your small business decisions, and your local voting laws. But the one thing Congress shouldn't address is runaway violent crime in D.C. itself? Dems are just trying to duck a debate on crime.

The Biden Administration wants to let money managers use Americans’ retirement savings to push left-wing political causes while decreasing the return on investment for workers. Yet another Democrat attack on families' finances. The Senate's going to vote this week.

Pulling up our drawbridge and pretending America can go it alone will not cut it in the 21st century. We are a global superpower facing worldwide threats. A strong, engaged foreign policy is critical for the future of our economic security, energy security, and national security.

I spent last week meeting with America's allies and partners across Europe and the Middle East. Our friends' hunger for American strength and leadership in the world is palpable. And even more important, our own country's core national interests depend on it.

A year into Russia’s escalation in Ukraine, it’s safe to say it has not turned out how Putin thought it would. He thinks he can wear the free world down. Today alongside President Niinistö, we delivered the message that we will continue to support Ukraine.

It is not just charity for the U.S. and our NATO allies to help supply Ukraine. It is a direct investment in our own core interests. Our security and prosperity are intertwined with a stable Europe. And our partners in Asia say China is closely watching how Ukraine plays out.

The brave and free men and women of Ukraine and their elected leaders have inspired the world with their courage and resolute determination to maintain their sovereignty and freedom in the face of this thuggery.

The innocent people of Ukraine have suffered devastating violence and destruction at the hands of Vladimir Putin and his war machine for years. The bloody full-scale escalation that he began one year ago with zero justification is just the latest chapter.

Shared challenges make America and Israel strong allies — but it's our shared values that make us such strong friends. Glad to be with so many friends in Israel today.
