I’m deeply troubled by the findings published today about the command climate at Ft. Hood and the issues surrounding the atrocious killing of Spc. Vanessa Guillen.
The Army owed this investigation to her family and all those who mourn her death, and I’m encouraged that the Army is prepared to implement meaningful change at Ft. Hood and across the entire service.
The problem of sexual assault and harassment in our military is far too often pervasive in our armed forces, which is why I’ve long supported the bipartisan Military Justice Improvement Act.
I’ll continue working with my colleagues to ensure we uphold our solemn obligation to protect the young women and men of our armed forces from sexual violence. --> bit.ly/36XqXhD

We are in the midst of a pandemic that has:
-Put 38 million Americans out of work
-Infected over 1.5 million Americans
-Claimed over 93,000 American lives
If the Chinese government had acted responsibly and sought the advice of public health professionals instead of silencing them, then it’s possible the #coronavirus could have been contained as a regional outbreak.
Instead, we are now dealing with a deadly pandemic.
In the US, China is trying to spread propaganda by:
1⃣Leveraging their enormous market access to coerce Americans into self-censorship
2⃣Purchasing access to cultural & educational centers
With both levers, Chinese officials have 1 objective: to shape what we see, hear & think.
.@SpeakerPelosi's $3 trillion monstrosity is a windfall for her radical liberal agenda, not relief for the workers, families, and job creators hurting from #COVID19.
Here are five of her most radical proposals ⤵️
#1: Bailing out fiscally irresponsible states that racked up huge debts long before the Coronavirus pandemic.
#2: Allowing taxpayer dollars to bail out Planned Parenthood and subsidize abortions.
(1/5) My 4th #impeachment question w @LindseyGrahamSC & @JohnCornyn: “When DOJ IG Horowitz testified before the Judiciary Committee, he said their DOJ had a ‘low threshold’ to investigate the Trump campaign. ...
(2/5) At the hearing @SenFeinstein said, ‘Your report concluded that the FBI had an adequate predicate reason to open the investigation on the Trump campaign ties to Russia. Could you define the predicate?’ Horowitz replied, ‘Yeah. So the predicate here was the info that ...
(3/5) ... the FBI got at the end of July from the friendly foreign government.’
Why is the legal standard for investigating Trump so much lower than the standard for investigating Biden?
(1/5) My 3rd #impeachment question w 14 fellow GOP Senators: "Recent reporting described two NSC staff holdovers from the Obama Administration attending an all-hands meeting of NSC staff held about two weeks into the Trump Administration. ...
(2/5) ... And talking loudly enough to be overheard saying, ‘We need to do everything we can to take out the President.' On July 26th, 2019 the House Intelligence Committee hired one of those individuals, Sean Misko. ...
(3/5) ... The report further describes relationships between Misko, Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, and an individual alleged as the 'whistleblower.' Why did your committee hire Sean Misko the day after the phone call between President Trump and Zelensky?
(1/4) My 1st #impeachment question w @HawleyMO & @LindseyGrahamSC: “Yesterday, Manager @RepValDemings refused to answer whether Joe Biden sought any legal advice concerning his conflict of interest on Burisma …
(2/4)…@USATODAY reported that VP Biden said, ‘he hadn't spoken to Hunter about his overseas business.’ But his account was contradicted by Hunter who told the @NewYorker that when he told his father about Burisma, ‘Dad said, I hope you know what you're doing. And I said, I do.’
(3/4) … Why do Joe & Hunter Biden's stories conflict? Did the House ask either one that question?"
(1/4) My 7th #impeachment question w @HawleyMO, @SteveDaines, @SenatorBraun: “When he took office, Viktor Shokin, Ukraine's Prosecutor General, filed to investigate #Burisma before Vice President Joe Biden pressed Ukrainian officials on corruption …

(3/4) … despite the presence of Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma, a company widely considered to be corrupt? Did Vice President Biden ever ask Hunter Biden to step down from the board of Burisma?”
