the work that reporters do as members of a free and independent press is vital to our country and to our communities. It is why, last week, in an unprecedented action, nearly 300 newspapers all over the country--a dozen or so in my…

Russia's election interference... poses a problem that goes far beyond foreign policy and strikes at the core of our democracy.

Administration officials identified Russians responsible for supplying chemical weapons components for use in Syria, the ones that killed and maimed men, women, and children alike.

Congress crafted tough Russia sanctions enacted last August by overwhelming majorities in both chambers.
