There are just very few Republicans who are raising the alarm about this because they know the target that that will put on their backs with respect to Donald Trump.
I don't remember FDR saying to Winston Churchill, we're going to help you out, but we want that North Sea Oil. We want your coal.
The Europeans understand both the values at stake here, which is do we care about democracies or do we just do whatever totalitarian murderous regimes want us to do?
Many more Ukrainians will die because the Ukrainians will not have as much warning as they did previously of Russian attacks, and many fewer Russian military assets and people will be at risk.
It's so unnecessary. It is so easy to convey these things through classified channels.
It is evident to me that 2 weeks into the new administration, we no longer have a Congress and that we no longer take care that laws be faithfully executed. We passed a law that says TikTok must either be sold or be shut down, but that…
We put a lot of people needlessly at risk here, including young people at the start of their careers.
So the message that Donald Trump is sending here is that if you're a flag officer and you're doing what you think is right and constitutional, that's not good enough. You do what I tell you to do.

I thank the gentleman from California for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Jackson).
I thank the gentleman from Illinois for his words. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Vermont (Ms. Balint), my fellow New Englander.
I'm concerned about the United States going down a path of banning apps and limiting American's access to content.
Yeah, yeah. No. And sadly, there are examples. There have been you'll -- you'll recall a number of years ago, there are examples of military members, you know, breaking the law, doing horrible things. You know, very sadly, as we approach…
And I asked probably in 12 different ways, is any of this federal government operations? You know, there's a lot of rumor out there that this is radiation sniffing or chemical sniffing. This is not a federal government operation.
President is secure. He must not risk that legacy, urging him to step aside.
It's because of those traits and in consideration of that legacy that I hope President Biden will step away from the presidential campaign.
