Last week I grilled Secretary Blinken on the August 29 drone strike that killed ten people.

I asked: Was the target an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?

And Blinken responded, "I don't know."
You'd think our Secretary of State would kind of know before he offed someone with a predator drone. But if he didn't know - did the president?

Journalists should be asking: did Joe Biden personally approve the drone strike that killed 7 children and an aid worker?
Stand with me: secure.winred.com/randpaul/socia…

It's absolutely appalling that the media and the Biden administration think they can sweep this under the rug.
We KNOW Obama authorized an entire chain of command to authorize individual drone killings. It’s not unreasonable to ask if Biden approved this killing of an aid worker and 7 children.
I'm going to hold this administration's feet to the fire, but I need your help to keep this story alive.

Will you chip in now to keep the pressure on? secure.winred.com/randpaul/socia…

We can't let this administration get away with this.
"I don't know" is just NOT an acceptable answer to a question that concerns not only the safety but the reputation of our nation.

Great news!  Cleveland clinic study of 52,238 employees shows unvaccinated people who have had COVID 19 have no difference in re-infection rate than people who had COVID 19 and who took the vaccine.
This information frees up millions of doses of vaccines for those not yet infected in places with vaccine shortages like India.

The immune response to natural infection is highly likely to provide protective immunity even against the SARS-CoV-2 variants...

Today I spoke on the floor AGAIN about government waste and urged the Senate to adopt my amendment that would ban the funding of gain-of-function research in China. You can watch it here:
NSF sent $1.3 million to study making insects into animal feed, on top of that we spent nearly $3 million to study if humans would eat insects as a means to combat climate change.

That’s $4 million on eating insects.
NIH Spent over $800,000 to study whether Japanese Quails are more Sexually promiscuous on cocaine. I think we could have simply polled the audience….and of course found they are…

Dr Fauci dissembled or tried to hide his long time support for ‘gain-of-function’ research which creates super-viruses that jump from animals to humans.
11 labs in the US create these super-viruses in the US and one of them collaborated with Wuhan Virology Inst —Fauci has supported NIH funds for all these labs!
Watch my exchange with Dr. Fauci in today's HELP Hearing.

I'll be speaking on the senate floor about impeachment around 12:30 today. Watch live here: c-span.org/congress/?cham…
This impeachment is nothing more than a partisan exercise designed to further divide the country. Democrats claim to want unify the country but impeaching a former president, a private citizen, is the antithesis of unity.
Democrats brazenly appointing a pro impeachment democrat to preside over the trial is not fair or impartial and hardly indicates any kind of unity for the country.

No, unity is the opposite of this travesty we are about to witness.

This is the speech I'll be giving today from an undisclosed location.
I wrote a speech today.

I was planning to say I fear the chaos of establishing a precedent that Congress can overturn elections.
Boy, was I right.

Chaos. Anarchy. It’s wrong and un-American.

I’m back with some more holiday cheer...I mean #Festivus grievances!
Take Congress...PLEASE! They have really outdone themselves this year with the massive special interest giveaway disguised as a relief bill. It is a disgrace in both the level of spending and the process they used to try to sneak it through. But this week’s pork-a-thon isn’t new.
My #Festivus Waste Report is now an unfortunate Holiday tradition, though a shameful one, if most legislators had any shame. Why? This one report details $54 BILLION in wasted spending.
