Russia is among the world’s worst persecutors of Christians. This heinous attack on one of Ukraine’s most sacred Christian sites is an awful expression of Russia’s anti-Christian violence. I am grateful to sponsor the Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act to identify and sanction those responsible.

BREAKING:

A Russian drone has struck the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.

Built in 1051, the monastery is the most important site of Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine.

Tomorrow is the 251st Birthday of the @USArmy. From the Continental Army's first shots to battlefields and outposts around the world, the United States Army has carried forward a proud tradition of defending freedom and protecting the American people. I am grateful for the Soldiers, civilians, families, veterans, and all who serve across the Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard. Happy Birthday.

I offer congratulations to @narendramodi on being the longest-serving Prime Minister of India. The relationship between the United States and India is critical as the free world is threatened by dictators seeking to overturn prosperity and Rule of Law. Best wishes to the Prime Minister and to the Indian people.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Gilbert “Butch” Wallace, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend, and public servant whose impact on our community will be felt for generations.

Butch is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Carolyn Wallace, their two daughters, Heather Wallace and Michelle Boone, and grandson Tyler Muller. Together they built a family grounded in faith, service, and love.

The Wilson family always welcomed him as “Uncle Butch,” Attorney General Alan Wilson and Palmetto State Armory founder Julian Wilson were especially encouraged by “Uncle Butch.”

A Florida native, Butch attended Florida State University where he earned a degree in Communications and Business. He went on to build a successful State Farm Agency, serving his community for 48 years. Through his work, he not only helped countless families and businesses, butalso, created jobs and contributed to the economic growth of our state.

For more than 20 years, Butch has served as avalued member of my staff, where he touched the lives of countless South Carolinians, including my own. His wisdom and unwavering commitment to others made him an indispensable member of Team Wilson and a trusted friend of all those who worked alongside him.
His dedication to service extended far beyond his professional life. He was deeply involved in his community serving as a Charter Member and President of the West Metro Rotary Club, President of the National Kidney Foundation of South Carolina, a member of the National Federation of Independent Business State Advisory Council, and a member of the Boy Scouts of America Indian Waters Council Board.  

Additionally, in 2019, he was a recipient of the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian award.
His commitment to civic engagement led him to serve in many political leadership roles including as Chairman of the Lexington County Republican Party and as a delegate to many state and county conventions.

Butch lived a life defined by service, integrity, and kindness. South Carolina is better because of his contributions, and all who knew him are better for having called him a friend. He leaves behind a legacy of leadership, compassion, and service that will endure long beyond his lifetime.

May we honor Butch by striving to serve others with the same dedication and grace that he demonstrated throughout his remarkable life.

It is shocking that in the new phase of war, by war criminal Putin blatantly murdering civilians of Ukraine, that Bulgaria cowardly stops weapons for Ukraine. At the time of war crimes against Black Sea neighbors of Romania and Ukraine this month, now is not the time to appease the Putinist efforts to re-establish the failed Soviet Union. His next step would be to resurrect the oppression of the Warsaw Pact enslaving the people of Bulgaria. As founder and co-chair of the Congressional Bulgaria Caucus. I still cherish being an election observer thirty-six years ago today, for the restoration of democracy. The Bulgarian people have been an inspiration to me for freedom, not supplicant of appeasement.

I am thankful to hear that the two @USArmy Apache pilots who were shot down near the Strait of Hormuz are safe and uninjured. This is yet another reckless act by a terrorist regime and a further reminder that American strength, readiness, and resolve saves lives. God bless all who continue to operate in harm’s way and demonstrate every day what Peace Through Strength looks like. No Soldier Left Behind!

"The illegitimate Georgian Dream regime is in the process of selling out the country to the Chinese Communist Party, war criminal Putin, and Iran — against the wishes of the Georgian people and the interests of the U.S.," @RepJoeWilson tells Congress as the House passes a bill targeting Chinese and Russian influence in Georgia.

“The election was rigged in Georgia." - Wilson adds

Congratulations to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his sweeping electoral victory! This is a repudiation of Russia’s malign interference and an affirmation of the Armenian people’s goal of peace and prosperity in the region. A South Caucasus free of Russian, Chinese, and Iranian influence means a bright and successful future. President Trump’s vision proved correct!!

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Grateful that the House Armed Services Committee passed the FY27 NDAA, demonstrating our commitment of Peace Through Strength and supports funding for critical missions in the district I represent and around the Palmetto State. This bill secures vital missions at Savannah River Site, supports defense research in South Carolina, protects Eisenhower Army Medical Center, strengthens our defense industrial base, and gives our troops the pay and equipment they need to deter our adversaries. As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, I appreciate the leadership of @RepMikeRogersAL and @RepAdamSmith.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Grateful to achieve 13 important amendments on foreign affairs issues in this year’s NDAA markup. Key topics include Georgia, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and much more!

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

With the passage of this amendment and the incredible leadership of President Trump, I am confident that War Criminal Putin’s bases in Syria will soon be history.

Make Syria Great Again.

[Laura Kelly @HelloLauraKelly]

For those following: @RepJoeWilson’s amendment requiring a report on removing Russian bases from Syria, added to House Armed Services NDAA

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Tomorrow, we recognize D-Day. In 1944, 160,000 Allied troops confronted Nazi forces on the French coastline, reshaping World War II in the name of freedom. Let us honor all those heroes of D-Day who bravely fought and supported this monumental effort, particularly those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

The puppet Georgian Dream PM has accused our excellent and honorable Secretary of State @SecRubio of lying. This is outrageous. Georgia is infiltrated by Iran, China & Russia – its behavior must change!

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

The anti-American Georgian Dream regime is facilitating Iranian and CCP malfeasance while it wrongfully locks up its own people. Grateful that President Trump is demanding behavioral change from this rogue state!

[Alex Raufoglu @ralexdc]

BREAKING!! Rubio says Washington has set conditions for improving strained US-Georgia relations

Washington demands changes to Tbilisi's behaviour following congressional warnings that the GD is facilitating Iranian sanctions evasion and deepening ties with Beijing.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Grateful for President Trump’s leadership on Syria including by promoting superstar Amb Barrack to Special Presidential Envoy and calling Syrian President Ahmad AlSharaa today.

U.S.-Syria ties are moving in a positive direction and Syria’s outdated designation as SST must be removed rapidly to promote stabilization and prosperity.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

I’m grateful to have introduced the ‘Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act’ and will work with my colleagues to pass this legislation. This is a symbol of appreciation for the 250th Anniversary of our great country and to recognize @POTUS who is achieving Peace Through Strength and creating jobs on behalf of the American people. Here’s my interview on @livenowfox...

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Hard No on a Trump $250 bill.

Get over yourself.

The upcoming July 4th anniversary is not about a wannabe King.

It’s about celebrating the American journey.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Russia, belligerently and unprovoked, has attacked Romania. Families sleeping in their homes are the target of war criminal Putin’s missiles and Iranian drones. This is not the first Russian attack on a NATO state. Deterrence is the only way to stop Russia’s perverse acts. Russia understands only the language of force. The failed Soviet Empire is dead and must never return.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Ukraine is winning and is an asset to the United States as dictators attempt to terrorize the civilized world with cheap Iranian drones made with Chinese components. War criminal Putin is desperate and a coward. Air defense saves lives.

[Alex Raufoglu @ralexdc]

‘@RepJoeWilson: “War Criminal Putin murders churchgoers and children playing while openly supplying the terrorists in Tehran to murder Americans. He is losing and desperate. Air defense saves lives, and Ukraine is a proven partner against terrorism”

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Grateful to lead this proposal in Congress and I look forward to its final passage soon!

The most valuable President on our most valuable bill! 🇺🇸
