In two years, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of America and her freedom. Our freedom and democracy would not be possible without assistance from the Netherlands and France. Allies stood at our side for the birth of this nation, and we must do the same for our allies.…
We must defend our borders, and we must defend our freedom-loving allies whose democracies have come under assault by terrorists and communist dictators. Today, a majority of the House of Representatives agreed with each and every one of these principles. Borders = Democracies.…
Today, the House passed critical bipartisan aid for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine with my support.
America is a beacon of freedom and democracy, and we must support those being unjustly attacked or threatened by our adversaries.
As our allies in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan face threats against their freedom, providing U.S. aid was dire. Russia’s Vladimir Putin will not stop until he takes Ukraine, China’s Xi Jingping seeks to follow Putin’s aggressive and illegal footsteps in his pursuit of Taiwan, and…
Last year, Xi Jinping told Vladimir Putin, “Change is coming that hasn’t happened in 100 years, and we are driving this change together.”
China and Russia want to see authoritarianism defeat democracy and freedom.
Our adversaries cannot succeed.
America must support Ukraine.

understands how important it is to aid Ukraine as it defends itself from Russian aggression.
This is a fight between authoritarianism and democracy.

We need to stop him.

“These sanctions should have already been in place. The administration needs to take a wholesale review of its sanctions policy with respect to Iran and begin to shut down critical portions of their economy.”

“As we try to finish the legislative work of this year, getting this national security package out is incredibly important. The Speaker should be commended for doing so. And I think this is going to pass overwhelmingly on the House Floor.”
Ukraine is at a critical point.

@RepRickCrawford
: Our whole government approach to counter China is insufficient because China’s whole government is their entire economy. Agree or disagree?
@JimCooperTN
: You are so correct. We can’t even conceive of the coordination of their effort.
