.@SenRonJohnson on Democratic Socialists gaining traction in 2024 primaries:
"The fact that these radical leftist Democrat Socialists even have a chance is an indictment of our legacy media and our education system."

.@StateDept Spokesperson Tommy Pigott (@statedeptspox) on the real and pressing threat communist regimes pose to American institutions — and how other nations are using Cuba as an outpost to destabilize the Western Hemisphere.

Senator @TedCruz (@SenTedCruz) reveals the concrete actions he's taking to punish the CCP for its brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners:
"I've authored legislation, bi-partisan legislation, that would sanction the individuals who are carrying out that forced organ harvesting... And I'm going to keep pressing until we pass it into law."

Excited to announce I’ll be hosting a film and panel discussion of “UNBROKEN: The Untold Story of Shen Yun” at the Capitol on July 22.
During the event I will be delivering opening remarks and discussing how the CCP is stifling artistic freedom transnationally.
With the IndyCar race set to take place in the nation's capital next month, I asked people in D.C. what they think about the historic event.
"I think that's one of the most American things that could happen right now."
@AlexPalou: "It's going to be a pretty cool experience for both drivers, but also the [people] that don't know anything about IndyCar or racing."
@malukasdavid: "That was kind of my life goal: be remembered, be written across history, and what better way to do that than here in the NTT IndyCar Series, possibly winning the Freedom 250 in D.C."
🇺🇸 America to Beijing: Hands off Tibet.
Just days after a Tibetan activist self-immolated outside the UN, the State Department is reaffirming U.S. support for Tibetans’ right to their culture, language, and faith — free from CCP interference.
“The United States is committed to supporting the unalienable human rights and aspirations of Tibetans."
This comes as China just rammed through its new “Ethnic Unity” law — forcing Mandarin in schools, erasing Tibetan identity, and claiming the right to punish critics overseas.
Human rights groups say it codifies transnational repression targeting Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hong Kongers, and Falun Gong.
Congress is moving resolutions in both chambers to condemn China's new law.
Tibetans are tearing up copies of the law in protest.
#Tibet #CCP #HumanRights
Watch: I asked President Trump what he'd say to Americans who don't realize that communism is knocking on their doorstep.
He gives a dire warning, saying the U.S. is now "in more danger than it was during World War I, World War II...9/11, Pearl Harbor."
"When you go communist, you never come back...You die in squalor. You die a horrible death. You die in squalor. And it gets very evil and very nasty."
"And you're right. [Communism] has become international, but it's never worked, and it's not going to work. What is working is the United States." 🇺🇸🔥
Watch our full conversation at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey:
“Communism is a disaster. It's been proven to be for thousands of years, under different names, but the same thing," President Trump said when asked what his message is to people living under communist and socialist regimes, as well as to people living under democracies in Europe and America.
@GraceJDrexel's dad, Pastor Ezra Jin, has been released from prison. So incredibly happy for you and your family ❤️
Here’s a statement Grace shared with me: Thank you so much for everyone's support and prayers since the beginning. We truly witnessed a miracle and are feeling so overwhelmed with joy. We thank God for this tremendous miracle. We also thank President Trump and his administration for their tremendous leadership. We know that this could not have happened without the direct intervention from Chairman Xi Jinping. We hope this is a signal of a positive turn for people of faith in China and relations between our two nations. As this tremendous development happened so quickly, we ask for your prayers and patience as we navigate this critical time.
The U.S. should be committed to countering the Chinese Communist Party's campaigns of coercion, intimidation, and repression against our allies and its people. Last week, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced two bills I've authored to advance American national security and do exactly that. Both passed with bipartisan support.
The Taiwan Symbols Act is aimed at countering the CCP's efforts to undermine Taiwan’s global status.
The Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act imposes sanctions on those responsible for the CCP's state-sponsored organ harvesting industry. I am proud to have worked with @JeffMerkley on this effort, and it passed unanimously.
The Senate should swiftly pass these critical pieces of legislation.
The cost of oil is plummeting after President Trump's announcement of the Iran deal. At his presser at the G7 in Évian, I asked the President how he sees the Iran agreement affecting energy prices in the U.S., and the economy in the long term.
“Well, first of all, thank you for the word plummeting, because that's what's happening. Oil prices are plummeting, and that means oil prices are going to come down.”
“And now that the oil is coming down, you're going to see everything follow, everything follows the cost of energy, and we're going to end up having the lowest energy anywhere in the world.”
President Trump says an Iran deal might be signed while he’s at G7 in Europe next week. He says JD Vance and Witkoff will head over for the deal signing instead.
I asked President Trump today about his latest push to add the SAVE AMERICA ACT to the Pentagon reconciliation package, which only needs a simple GOP majority (50 + Vance) to pass, ahead of the midterms.
“We need it for our elections. We need to have voter identification, which we don't have right now on a national basis.”
“You look at California, they send out millions of ballots, tens of millions. They have no idea what's going on. Those elections are so corrupt,” President Trump tells me about the recent CA primaries.
A fisherman was in tears today as he thanked President Trump for signing a proclamation to bring fishing back to the USA 🇺🇸.
I asked President Trump how directly listening to everyday Americans influences his policies. He tells me:
“These people built the country, not the complainers…Me, guys like me, they built the country.”
“Look at what's happened in Minnesota, Somalia. All these people came in from Somalia; they ripped off our system."
He went on to talk about elections: “I won Minnesota three times easily. I won almost every county, but they didn't give it to me. It's a corrupt system, very corrupt state.”
Now that President Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is officially complete, visitors have been stopping by to take in the newly restored, glimmering waters.
"I think it's gorgeous. It's cleaned up. It looks fantastic."
"He's draining the swamp, figuratively and symbolically."
"Lincoln looking over that pond right now, I'm sure he's smiling up in heaven above, saying: job well done."
