The United States strongly opposed the special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council following the conflict in Gaza in May, 2021.

The establishment of an open-ended Commission of Inquiry distracts from the diplomatic work necessary to provide greater dignity, freedom, and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians.

The United States is committed to seeking reforms of the U.N. Human Rights Council, particularly with respect to the Council's disproportionate focus on Israel.

You didn`t see Republicans when we had control of the Senate try to rig the game. You didn`t see us try to pack the court.

We`re advising that a lame-duck president in an election year is not going to be able to tip the balance of the Supreme Court.

I share those concerns along with many privacy and practicality concerns. I also think such a requirement would depress air travel and potentially backfire similar to a domestic testing requirement.

I encourage the Administration to be proactive regarding masks on aircraft and I support Federal efforts to ensure that passengers wear masks on planes and that crews have tools to enforce those protections.

I think Big Tech today represents the greatest accumulation of power--market power and monopoly power over information that the world has ever seen.

Texas should be applauded for leading the way on making it easy for anybody to get a vaccine.

I am against the Federal mandate but, as I said, I think if we can make vaccines easier to get, at low cost, then people are going to be vaccinated, and this problem will fade away very quickly.

Well, look, I agree that vaccines should be widely available. I have been vaccinated. My wife has been vaccinated. Both my parents have been vaccinated.

We have seen the rise of the woke corporation, These woke corporations have decided to become the political enforcer for Democrats in Washington.

Today`s announcement is a direct assault on our nation`s independent judiciary.

It is a profoundly dangerous bill.

The U.S. Capitol has giant fences with razor wires and 5000 National Guard standing out front because the Democrats are convinced that political theater helps them. Let`s be clear, this is not about security at this point. This is about…
