Now is not the time to embolden Hamas by re-entering the Iran Nuclear Deal, which would hand their Iranian sponsor billions of US dollars. That’s why I sent a letter urging @SecBlinken to stand by Israel and continue out maximum pressure campaign against Iran. https://t.co/1czIVUjyc6

RT @skyzarbiker: @RobWittman would you back an investigation into Congressional insider trading? #va01

The threats we face are not limited to ransomeware. From attacks on critical infrastructure to misinformation campaigns, our adversaries seek to undermine the strength of the American people. The United States must actively invest in countering these cyber threats.

As shown by the #ColonialPipeline hack, those capabilities are more essential than ever to safeguarding the United States’ energy sector, one of our greatest strategic assets.

I highlighted during yesterday’s HASC hearing my concerns about Russian area denial in the Black Sea. If we cancel routine operations due to the possibility of danger, does freedom of navigation exist? We do not back down in the South China Sea, nor should we back down here.

Thank you, @VaDOT Sec. Valentine for testifying in front of the T&I Committee @TransportGOP on behalf of VA rail improvements. I look forward to continuing our work to improve rail transportation in VA such as the Long Bridge.

This shipbuilding budget is a litmus test for how serious this Administration plans on taking China. I hope they are serious. I will continue to fight for a stronger, more capable Navy as we continue to deter our adversaries. https://t.co/Bcep8BEdHd

Today, I urged Speaker Pelosi and Secretary Mayorkas to the immediate action necessary to end the crisis along our southern border. This crisis has been created by the Biden Administration's open borders policies, and now threatens the rule of law in the United States. https://t.co/CUBfLZfC2e

The PRO Act would force California-style regulations upon our 59 million independent contractors, forcing them into union contracts, and then turn over workers' personal info to union bosses, exposing them to the risk of harassment. This bill isn't for workers- it's for unions. https://t.co/H64gzPduBA

Instead of commending @POTUS for his bold action to protect Americans, House Democrats are doing all they can to limit the powers of the President. We should not tie the hands of any president for defending this nation.

The two measures brought before the House today only serve to fan the flames of partisanship. Democrats took it a step further by denying Republicans basic and essential floor rights.

Their efforts to repeal the #AUMF without a clear replacement undermines our troops’ ability to execute their missions and defend themselves and our allies.

It is my hope that my Democratic colleagues will move away from such divisive measures and instead come together to work on the issues that matter most: infrastructure, education, our national defense, and more.

Today, I went to Bath Iron Works in Bath, ME, for a tour of their facilities to see their work to produce platforms for our fighting fleet. Thank you to @RepJoeCourtney for organizing this impressive tour, and to all those working at Bath to keep our @USNavy at the cutting edge. https://t.co/8bJruvczMi

Carriers continue to be a pivotal power projection platform for our @USNavy Navy. November is National U.S. Navy #AircraftCarrierMonth and I want to thank all who serve aboard our nation’s aircraft carriers as well as all who help build and repair them.
