“[Bipartisan letter to President Trump from 14 senators, led by Jeanne Shaheen and Roger Wicker:] President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Allowing him to participate in a G20 Summit in the United States raises serious concerns about legitimizing and normalizing a government that continues to attack Ukrainian civilian targets every day. … As Russia continues its war against Ukraine and refuses to agree to a just and lasting peace agreement, its government should not be afforded a business-as-usual treatment alongside other nations at G20 events. … We urge you to reverse course and rescind the invitation to President Putin.

“We were actually getting very, very close, and at the last minute, the banking staffer from [Sen. Tim] Scott's office came in and just said, 'negotiations are over.'
“[The White House-blessed ethics language] leaves a lot to be desired.
“He doesn't care that you pay more for food. He doesn't care you pay more for gas. He doesn't care our kids are dying in a dumb war. He is for him, and not for you.
“It’s stupid, and it’s really deeply disrespectful to the men and women of Canada that have died fighting with us.
“What you’re seeing is a reflection of these sycophants that are just trying to make this president happy and not understand that they are potentially putting our security in danger.
“A terrifying and tragic situation.
“Dreamers are Americans in every way. They grew up here, went to our schools, and are contributing to communities across Arizona. Making college more expensive for young people who are deeply rooted in America does nothing to fix our broken immigration system or make our country safer.
“The United States must remain committed to a two-state solution that delivers lasting peace and security for both the Jewish, democratic State of Israel and for a future Palestinian state. Construction in E1 would take us further away from that goal. For decades, Republican and Democratic administrations have recognized that development in E1 would seriously jeopardize the prospects for a Palestinian state. That concern remains just as urgent today. We urge the Israeli government to immediately rescind these tenders, halt settlement expansion in the West Bank, and take urgent action to rein in settler violence.
“Arizona and our Lower Basin partners have stepped up with significant conservation commitments, and now every Basin state needs to do its part.
“It really goes to the deep, deep, deep problem here is that this administration did not plan for this war. A true lack of leadership from [the] secretary of Defense as well as the president.
“No public officials, including the president, nor their families, should be able to enrich themselves by owning and controlling banks.
“[The Navy] must allow a bipartisan Congressional Delegation to visit the USS Lincoln to conduct an oversight investigation into this horrible situation.
“Even our extremist Supreme Court ruled it's not up for debate.
“Don't go for a fast vote. A fast vote gets you a fast result, but I'm not sure it's the result you want.
“The framework outlined in the Department of the Interior's Final Environmental Impact Statement could place an unfair burden on Arizona.
“I was sent abroad with other working-class kids to fight a war that the elites manufactured to line their own pockets—and now I'm watching the same playbook being run on Cuba in plain sight. The President's poll numbers are sinking, so he's ginning up a reason to invade and looking for a quick win to feel tough.
“I offer this amendment for one simple reason: taxpayer dollars should never be used to enrich a sitting president, his family or his political allies. Right now, Americans are struggling with high prices and economic uncertainty. Federal dollars should be used to lower costs and serve the American people and not create a slush fund for the president's political allies or to reward those who assaulted law enforcement.
“These allegations are indefensible. I am immediately withdrawing my endorsement and I regret ever defending Eric Swalwell.
“I lost friends in Iraq to an illegal war. Young working-class kids should not pay the ultimate price for regime change and a war that hasn't been explained or justified to the American people. President Trump promised no more forever wars. Instead, he has illegally dragged us into another one without congressional authorization and no long term strategy.
