President Trump made it clear that his war of choice in Iran would have to end in surrender.
Most dangerously, there appears to be no clear progress toward preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
This agreement gives Iran hundreds of billions of dollars, near-complete sanctions relief, and possibly the ability to impose transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz.
It betrays the troops whom he sent into harm’s way and the allies whom he asked to have faith in America.
Unfortunately, it appears he has chosen to surrender to the demands of Iran’s theocratic despots.
President Trump has to answer for his decision to hand a victory to Iran in the shortsighted hope that it brings his party short-term political reprieve.

Through all these years, I’ve continued to believe that there is nothing we cannot achieve if we set out to do it together and in a spirit of consensus.
Overall, in twelve [votes], an average [80%] of this House has voted to hold firm to the principle that Ukraine must win this war, and Putin and his war crimes must lose it.
This is a moment to choose between right and wrong; good and evil. Not tomorrow, but today. Tonight.
Those who voted for it wanted Ukraine to know we are with you. We are with you in this fight and we believe you must win this fight – for yourselves, for your country, for your sovereignty, for your families, but also for all the rest of…
This is not just an absence of regular order; it is complete and utter disorder and undermining of the appropriations process.
This is a good day. It's a good day for Ukraine. It's a good day for America. It's a good day for those who oppose tyranny.
