The last time the White House did this... 4,400 American servicemen perished in a war that was fought on false pretenses.

What we need to do right now is generate maximum leverage against Vladimir Putin.

We're at a fork in the road with respect to the Russia-Ukraine war.

This bill fails spectacularly on all three counts.

The wealthiest of the Amer- of Americans to pay more taxes, and to give tax relief to the middle class and below.

The Senate must not confirm Mr. Kent as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center without a full understanding of his actions.
