[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 are working with the industry … to increase the supply of diesel … without using blunt instruments. … Nobody wants a full blanket ban or zero exports of diesel. … What's being discussed is what's the most efficient way to get more diesel into the United States.

“

The blunt tool of banning diesel exports definitely doesn't work. [Wright said at an event in New York that if refiners cannot export diesel they run out of places to store it and must cut U.S. refining, which would put upward pressure on gasoline and jet fuel prices.]

“

Censuses happen once every 10 years. Drawing districts should follow the same exact principle. It's wrong for politicians to be redrawing boundaries in districts halfway through the decade.

“

Hardworking families should not have to subsidize the energy demands of data centers. … We cannot accelerate this growth on the back of Americans working hard to pay their electric bills at the end of the month.

“

Today, the Supreme Court rightfully rejected President Trump's latest attempt to infringe on Americans' right to vote and avoid accountability for his disastrous record.

“

Our president is a small and sick man to make a day of remembrance and service about himself. This solemn day is not about Trump. It never was, and it never will be.

“

The right to vote, and to do so without fear of intimidation, is fundamental to our democracy and to being an American. Stationing ICE agents near polling places is only meant to scare people and suppress votes. We'll fight tooth and nail to prevent it.

“

The changes by the Trump administration put threatened and endangered species and their habitats at risk, undermining the comprehensive protections Congress mandated under the Endangered Species Act.

“

America does not view Canada as the 51st state, any more than Canada views United States as the 11th or 14th province. … Unfortunately, in our country, that guy's our president, and that's kind of the problem.

“

The biggest role of our military in the region right now is to stop the export of any Iranian crude or crude-related products, natural gas, whatever.

“

He’s pushed out journalists. He’s pushed out media. This is part of his effort to create fear and to clamp down on information.

“

Well, I don't want to have an opinion on that. Gasoline production is about to go up and demand is about to go down. So if I had to guess, they're more likely to go down than go up.

“

They started this war. The president started this war without a plan, without a strategy.

“

Munitions have been depleted. The stockpiles are very low, contrary to what Donald Trump wants us to believe.

“

We need to draw down our forces generally in the Middle East. We need to get out of endless conflict.

“

We are strangling their economy to try to bring either a change in policy from the existing regime or a new regime.

“

He has purged over 80 generals and admirals, the top 10% of the entire military chain of command has been purged.

“

Donald Trump has doubled down on 25 years of endless conflict that’s cost us $3 to $5 trillion, thousands of American lives.

“

I’m going to start on the Department of Defense. Our service members are being put at tremendous risk.

“

Impeachment is one tool of many, and I’m less concerned about the specific tools, and I won’t hesitate to use that tool if we need to.

“

It’s one of several tools that Congress has to pursue accountability, to get information, and to attack corruption.

“

There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it. … We are degrading their capacity to develop nuclear weapons and ultimately to deliver them, if they develop them.

“

There’s no strategy here. There’s no off-ramp. There’s no longer-term plan for how we get out of this.

“

Seeing demand likely go down in the next few weeks and supply going up, I think prices headed downward is not an unreasonable expectation.

“

They fired the editor of the Stars and Stripes, an independent newspaper that’s been around since 1861.

“

Look, it's a challenge. Iran is doing everything they can to cling on to something. They know their nuclear program is coming to an end, their navy's come to an end, their air force has come to an end.

“

These types of precise munitions do not grow on trees. They take a long time to build up.

“

This is a losing game for Iran. We wish it would come to an end tomorrow. Our transit through the strait is averaging over 9 million barrels a day now, and with the access pipelines that go around the straits, we're probably two-thirds or more of pre-conflict flows. So Iranians are still causing trouble, but the United States Navy is winning that battle.

“

Our exports of oil through the Strait of Hormuz are at the highest they’ve been since the conflict started, but they’re still causing trouble.
