Today, I am proud to be joined by my colleagues in reintroducing a bipartisan resolution commending the bravery of Iranian protestors who have stood their ground against the regime for 130 days. And counting. foreign.senate.gov/press/dem/rele… More than five months ago, the Iranian Morality Police arrested #MahsaAmini in Tehran. Their charge? Not wearing her hijab ‘properly.’
They stopped her. They forced her into a van. They beat this 22 year-old woman until she was brain dead.

Looking forward to @SecBlinken’s speech today on US policy & posture toward #China. Led by the Communist Party & propelled by Xi Jinping’s hyper-nationalism, the PRC presents challenges unlike any we have ever faced.
Thread⬇️ There should be NO doubt from either side of the aisle that #strategiccompetition is the right framework to guide our nation’s relationship with #China.
Not because this is what we want, but because of the choices Beijing is making.
