Senator Ben Sasse

The press office account of U.S. Sen. Sasse. His (less political/hopefully more interesting) personal account is @ BenSasse.

When Ukraine asks, our response should be "how fast can we get it there?" not "how will the lawyers explain this?" Zelensky needs more and America can do more.

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

President Biden kept his promise to the Taliban and lied to the American people. These lies will cost Americans for decades to come.

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

This national disgrace is the direct result of President Biden’s cowardice and incompetence.

GOP Sen. Ben Sasse reacts to Sec. of State Blinken’s interview with @MarthaRaddatz on efforts to evacuate Afghan allies and American citizens: “There is clearly no plan. There has been no plan. Their plan has basically been happy talk.” https://t.co/X5tcU51pVd

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

Mr. President, there is a clear choice before you now: Either rip up the August 31 deadline and defend evacuation routes — by expanding the perimeter around the Kabul airport or by retaking Bagram — or leave our people behind in your retreat.

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

It looks like the President and his team have a plan that is just to accept the risk that we will leave Americans behind. Leaving a single American behind is a disaster. It's a dereliction of duty. It's a national disgrace. https://t.co/oW9LOo72pv

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

Damn the deadline. The American people are not going to surrender our fellow citizens to the Taliban. Mr. President, tell the Taliban we’re getting our people out however long it takes, and that we’re perfectly willing to spill Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS blood to do it.

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

A great nation keeps its word. This administration needs to go faster and save the Americans and Afghan allies behind enemy lines. https://t.co/9lAGeRjp1v

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

The Taliban needs to know they don't dictate the timetable on American lives. https://t.co/9lAGeRjp1v

President Biden: We cannot wait for Americans to find their own way. Go get them. It’s the duty of the commander-in-chief.

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

There can be no countdown clock on American lives.

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

President Biden needs to man up, come out of hiding, and take charge of the mess he created. Secure the airfields and get as many souls out as possible. Time is short.

"China is a very important market for us, we have a long-term history in China," says @Nike CEO John Donahoe. "We take a very long-term view with China, we'll continue to invest in China while also operating a very responsible global supply chain."

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

The last two administrations have abandoned our allies in the region, and pursued weak policies that have led to more chaos and death — not a safer America.

This is not how we peacefully transfer power.

Every American who cares about the rule of law should take comfort that the Supreme Court — including all three of President Trump’s picks — closed the book on the nonsense.

[Senator Ben Sasse @SenSasse]

The task for this year is to finish the job by the book: Ignore overheated rhetoric, let state and local officials complete the count, and trust in the rule of law.

Actually, “originalism” is another way of saying that texts and words have meaning. That's not to claim that all texts and words from 1789 were correct – but that when they need to be changed, they should be changed by elected legislators, not unelected judges.

Originalism is racist. Originalism is sexist. Originalism is homophobic. Originalism is just a fancy word for discrimination.
