No more delays. Judge Boasberg must be suspended immediately. Impeachment is underway. He should not get to hear another case—this afternoon I led the effort to make that suspension happen. My letter to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the D.C. Circuit. 🧵

Narcoterrorists are killing thousands of Americans every year. President Trump & Secretary Hegseth have every right to destroy every narcoterrorist they can find. The reality is, the Democrats have been trying to undermine Trump every step of the way. This yet another example.

Arctic Frost revealed the ways Biden's DOJ was weaponized against Americans whose only “crime” was being Republican. We ought to have Watergate-style hearings on this for MONTHS with criminal referrals. It’s past time for accountability. We need action.
"But what Arctic Frost sort of reveals is that this was a huge drag net that encompassed a lot of other individuals and organizations whose only crime was they were Republicans." @SenEricSchmitt sits down with @ASwoyer: https://t.co/QLKtPc9wns

Congratulations to @MoStateFootball on becoming bowl eligible in their first FBS season! The Bears earned this spot—I’m thankful the NCAA recognized their success & hard work this season and rightfully included them in a bowl game. https://t.co/SsXpx7HVAn

Missouri lawmakers and representatives are calling on the NCAA to suspend a rule that prohibits teams competing in their first year of FBS play in college football from playing in postseason games,…

Americans deserve to be safe in their communities. Senate Republicans are working with @POTUS to correct the failed vetting standards put in place by Joe Biden and Democrats.

This is what suicidal empathy looks like. An American family lost their daughter last week because the Biden Administration cared more about opening our borders to mass third-world immigration than the safety & security of our own citizens. Enough. The carnage must end.

It's not just illegal immigration, we have serious problems with our broken LEGAL immigration system too. The good news is we finally have a President who wants to enforce and strengthen the laws we have in order to put Americans first.

President Trump is focused on defending our homeland and our hemisphere. For decades the Washington elite were too focused on fighting wars in far off places instead of taking care of business here at home.

This summer I announced St. Louis would receive one of the largest per capita infusions of full-time FBI agents in the nation. The results speak for themselves: ➡️276 arrests ➡️111 weapons recovered ➡️572lbs of meth seized ➡️5.7lbs of fentanyl seized https://t.co/sKkNixshof

The Trump admin & @FBIDirectorKash’s focus on reducing violent crime in St. Louis has led to a 71% increase in arrests over the past year. Proud to be working together with President Trump, the FBI, & local law enforcement for a safer St. Louis! https://t.co/ZX41a8MO0q

There is no tenable reason to force American students and graduates to compete against a flood of cheap foreign labor—except to pad the profit margins of elites that view our own young people as an inconvenience. Read my op-ed for @theammind here: https://t.co/5OLBe8z9Lc

Young Americans shouldn't be forced to compete against an uncapped flood of foreign labor in their own country.

For years, young Americans were told to "learn to code." Now, they're graduating into a workforce where the tech and STEM jobs have been outsourced to cheap foreign labor. It's not just illegal immigration. Our entire legal immigration system is broken too.

Under the Trump Administration we’re refocusing our interests on America, our homeland, and our hemisphere. That includes a zero tolerance policy for narco-terrorists who are trafficking deadly drugs into the U.S.

America is only as strong as its Heartland. I commend Director Patel for his emphasis on getting FBI personnel out of Washington, D.C. and into our great Heartland field offices. This is going to to continue to produce great results for Law & Order in our communities.

But collaborative efforts are taking shape across the state, like the recent Operation Brightside in Columbia, MO. https://t.co/ZNHR2JuW9S
In recent months, Missouri has been the shining example of multilateral law enforcement collaboration at its best. In "Operation Brightside," eight federal, state, and local agencies collaborated to arrest 33 dangerous criminals in Columbia, MO. Here's how it happened. 🧵

I was thrilled to welcome Director Patel last week to our St. Louis Field Office for a very successful event with state and local law enforcement leaders. The multilateral collaborative efforts in the St. Louis area will produce great results. https://t.co/s20qipsJfI
This @FBI is taking the fight to crush violent crime and defend the homeland all across America and we’ve already achieved historic results under President Trump’s leadership. We are thrilled to build on that effort with our state and local partners in Missouri - including

The FBI is taking agents out of D.C. to fight crime in the Heartland. I'm grateful to @FBIDirectorKash for his work in and visit to St. Louis. I'm inviting him to Kansas City to discuss how we can crush violent crime. We are going to make our communities safe again.

“For too long, many Republicans have confined their criticisms of mass migration to illegal immigration. But the truth is that our entire legal immigration system is broken—and the consequences for Americans have been nothing short of disastrous.” - @SenEricSchmitt
