Watching the deteriorating situation in Syria with great concern. The Kurds are under threat from the new Syrian government that is aligned with Turkey.

It would be a disaster for America’s reputation and national security interests to abandon the Kurds, who were the chief ally in destroying the ISIS caliphate.

Therefore, I will be introducing legislation this week designed to impose crippling sanctions on any government or group engaged in hostilities against the Kurds. The Save the Kurds Act, I believe, will receive strong bipartisan support and must have teeth to make it effective.

Stay tuned.

@LindseyGrahamSC Thank you, Senator Lindsey Graham. The Kurds have been well-tested partners in the fight against ISIS because they truly believe in that mission. It is clearly in the United States’ national interest to defend them and continue partnering with them.

Unbelivable how much evil is done in the name of God. A source from the family of Syrian Syriac fighter Sa'id Abdul-Ahad told "North Press" that Syrian rebels supported by Turkey retain the body of the fighter they killed and are negotiating for a sum of $10,000 to return it.

Massive attacks underway against the kurds in northern syria. No ceasefire. Total nonsenses there is. US military officials tell me they are ashamed, “sickened.” It’s cold now outside. What about the families, and kids, out of their homes? @OARichardEngel #AmericanBetrayal

I am close to Armenian Catholics of Qamishli, in Syria, as they gather for the funeral of their parish priest, Father Hovsep Bedoyan, who was killed yesterday together with his father. I pray for them, their families, and for all Christians in Syria.

I’ve worked for three presidents and participated in a number of foreign leader calls. I cannot recall a president that seems to believe — and then parrots — whatever a foreign leader tells him on the phone. Such information is often false, intended to influence more than inform.

#OTD three years ago, Selahattin Demirtaş was unjustly imprisoned by Turkey’s #Erdogan. I sponsor his case through @TLHumanRights #DefendingFreedoms Project and will continue to fight for his release. #FreeDemirtaş https://t.co/SDJ8ZWHh7D

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

@TLHumanRights Democratically-elected members of government like #Demirtaş should not be rotting in prison simply because their party is out of power. I stand with Selahattin Demirtaş and call on the Government of #Turkey to release him immediately.

[Brett McGurk @brett_mcgurk]

I spent a lot of time with US Special Forces on the ground in Syria where they had a clear mission over two administrations to defeat ISIS. These images of US forces now in Syria with an ill-defined mission to guard small oil fields make me cringe.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

All McConnell wants to do is protect Trump from his disastrous decision. The House sanctions bill passed with 400+ votes. The Senate should pass it without delay to hold Turkey accountable, send a strong signal to our allies and stop the resurgence of ISIS.https://t.co/0CXrmFChrD

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Trump's envoy told me Turkey would suffer consequences if it’s proxies attacked beyond Pence-Erdogan "safe zone."

Just another empty threat.

Turkish fighters are attacking with impunity beyond 30km line—but no action from Trump. Senate must hold Erdogan and Trump accountable.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

Chairman @RepEliotEngel today delivered remarks in support of his #PACTAct, which imposes sanctions on Turkey for its military invasion of northern Syria.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

Erdogan created this mess and he needs to fix it. Congress is intent on standing by the Kurds and SDF forces who helped us destroy ISIS against Turkish aggression.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

I expect the Senate will take up this cause and let Turkey unequivocally know that the United States will not sit on the sidelines as they create problems for us and our allies.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

Ready to take up House bill as passed!

Awesome bipartisan takedown of Turkey’s invasion just occurred in the House with overwhelming support from Democrats and Republicans – 403-16.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

The House passed a sanctions bill 403 to 16, sending a signal that Congress will not stand by while Turkey and its proxies slaughter our Syrian Kurdish allies and fuel the revival of ISIS. Senate must stop dithering and act—the lives of our allies and our security are at risk.

[David Eubank @DaveEubankFBR]

Thank you all for praying and for helping share what’s really happening in northeastern Syria. Here’s the update from today, Oct. 27, from Tel Tamir. Part 1 of 2

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Grateful to Special Operations forces, intelligence/counterterrorism experts, & allies who successfully executed this risky, complex mission. Especially thankful to our Kurdish partners who provided invaluable intelligence support.

[Mazloum Abdî مظلوم عبدي @MazloumAbdi]

For five months there has been joint intel cooperation on the ground and accurate monitoring, until we achieved a joint operation to kill Abu Bakir al-Bagdadi.

Thanks to everybody who participate in this great mission.
