Communist China weaponizes its more than 150 sister-city relationships in the United States, including their relationship with our nation’s capital. Mayors should think long and hard before signing these agreements, and should be transparent about what they entail.

Illegals shouldn’t be driving any vehicle, especially not the most powerful ones on the road. @SenTomCotton and I are leading legislation to hold states that issue CDLs to illegals accountable. They need to be deported, not given drivers licenses.

I applaud our European allies for taking the necessary step of initiating snapback sanctions. Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. The ayatollahs have clearly shown they have no intention of abandoning their nuclear ambitions despite the catastrophic blows (cont in image...)

The death penalty is the just response to the most heinous of crimes. President Trump is right to put it on the table for murderers in DC.

This kind of woke nonsense is typical of UNIFIL. It turns a blind eye to Hezbollah, lectures Israel, and lets China and Europe freeload on U.S. taxpayers. Time to end it.

The ACES Act is now the law of the land. I’m grateful to President Trump for signing it and for all his ongoing support of our veterans. We owe it to past, present, and future aviators in the armed forces to study the prevalence of cancer among this group of veterans.

Our nation’s capital is more dangerous than many third world countries’ capitals. I applaud President Trump for making DC safer for the thousands of Arkansans and millions of Americans who visit Washington every year.

So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas & feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved? Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them? Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer? That wasn’t food you dropped. If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!
