I recently spoke with @POTUS and @SecRubio, and I very much appreciate their efforts to bring stability to Syria. It looks like President Trump’s efforts have paid off, at least in the near term.
The Trump Administration is engaged, ensuring stability replaces the chaos that they inherited. I would encourage regional partners to reinforce President Trump’s message that we need stability not fighting. Secretary Rubio is very much hands-on in that effort.
Neither the region nor the world needs another bloodbath in northeast Syria. To President Trump and Secretary Rubio: well done.
Congress stands ready to help maintain stability and to push back against regional players who harm America’s interests by moving against reliable allies like the Kurds. Saudi Arabia is uniquely positioned to have influence on the Syrian government, and I hope they will exercise it for the benefit of the region and all concerned.
Thank you President Trump for your leadership.
I pray for President Trump and his team to make the right decisions to keep America safe at this dangerous time.
History tells us the right decision is to stand by those who stand with America and sacrifice for our common cause. History also tells us that evil cannot be accommodated — it has to be defeated.
I remember how sick to my stomach I felt when we abandoned our people in Benghazi. I’ll hold that against Hillary Clinton til my dying day.
Our people have to include those who would be a friend of America in the face of oppression: the protestors in Iran and the brave Kurds.
These are difficult decisions. But to abandon the Iranian people and the brave Kurds would be, in my view, Benghazi times a million.
I am confident that President Trump, who has done a marvelous job protecting America, will make the right call. God bless President Trump and all under his command.
While the world debates headlines, minorities are erased in silence.
Kurds in Syria face displacement, repression and violence. Just for who they are.
Human rights are not selective.
Silence is not neutrality.
Five children died from hunger and extreme cold in besieged Kobani on January 24, 2026.

The SDF reports that shelling by armed groups affiliated with Damascus killed a Kurdish child in Qasma village, west of Kobani

"If my language shakes the foundations of your state, then it means your state was built on my land,” said Musa Anter, a Kurdish writer, intellectual, and outspoken advocate for Kurdish language and rights.
A Massive Cyber Attack was coordinated against all the major accounts raising
awareness for Rojava. These Turkish Bots are leaving THOUSANDS of comments & sending fake followers to
these creators to get us banned. But we will NEVER be silenced! Kurdistan will rise! Rojava will be free!!
I’m in Qamishlo to see how the Kurdish community is doing amidst a fragile ceasefire and the threat of new attacks on Kobane. Here’s my update for this morning.
Is U.S. abandoning the #Kurds in Syria, as we have elsewhere in the region?
Do we really believe we no longer need the Kurds as reliable, battle-tested allies?
Are we siding with what we pray are "reformed" jihadists in Syria?
I stand with the Kurds.
Always have. Always will.
Thousands of women responded by braiding their hair in reaction to the incident of a Kurdish female fighter's braid being cut off and shared on social media by Syrian Arab Army forces #Rojava.
Me: I read one report that the woman warrior referred to in the post was raped and then murdered by a Syrian Arab Army soldier who took her braid as a trophy of his atrocity.
This is a call to the world: protect the Kurds, secure a decentralized future for them in Syria, and stop legitimizing violence as “stability.”
Stand with the Kurds now, before ISIS and chaos rise again from the ruins.
