"It's a good thing to have Rand! He knows what's important!" - @POTUS
It's an honor to stand with President Trump & fellow Republicans as we sign the Secure America Act into law.
Proud to have led the charge in Congress to secure funding for the border.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Thursday released documents showing that former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci had deep, decades-long ties with the U.S. intelligence community that predate the COVID-19 pandemic...

Fmr. NIH Director Francis Collins deliberately scrubbed Fauci’s name from the infamous Proximal Origins paper because of Fauci’s glaring conflict of interest.
Nature Medicine (the publisher) offered no condemnation or scrutiny of the ethics.
These COVID investigations matter because they expose protectionism within the scientific community that breeds gatekeeping. It's suppressing research, stifling innovation, destroying objectivity, & eroding public trust.
Americans have been labeled conspiracy theorists for our concerns over taxpayer-funded labs conducting risky research. I thank @DNIGabbard & the dedicated professionals at ODNI for declassifying this information & refusing to let the cover-up continue. I look forward to continuing the fight to end dangerous gain-of-function research.

Thank you @DNIGabbard for your herculean efforts to flip the deep state.
You are a hero for restoring some transparency and good faith that our government needs.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

The future of college sports shouldn’t be dictated by Congress. My bill would remove antitrust liability and let institutions, athletes, and conferences set their own rules. @Outkick

🚨Also, we have an update on my COVID investigation.
Emails we dug up show Fauci is a long-time partner and trusted advisor for the intel community, records go FAR before 2020: https://t.co/BoVmWMYknt
We got through an over 70-day Democrat-led shutdown over border funding, got the Secure America Act out of my committee, endured the over 18-hour filibuster, and got it signed into law…
Before GTA 6 dropped. But mission accomplished.
"The documents released by Paul corroborate allegations from whistleblower James Erdman, a career operations officer at the CIA who told the Senate committee on May 13 that Fauci was intimately involved in steering the intelligence community’s assessment of the origins of COVID-19 in 2021."

Two-hundred and fifty years later, Congress should embrace our heritage by passing legislation like the No Taxation Without Representation Act, introduced by @SenRandPaul.
His bill and similar proposals requiring Congress to vote on tariffs are needed to fend off new threats to our freedom to trade, including the unprecedented expansion of Section 301 tariffs.

NEW docs declassified by Tulsi Gabbard and released by Rand Paul on Fauci, COVID, and the Biodefense Blob. 🧵
Why did the U.S. work with a military lab in Wuhan?
A CIA report sets the stage: Bioweapons are harder to detect than nuclear weapons. Virologists should collect intel through conferences and labs.
