I’m departing for our southern border today with @RepAndyBiggsAZ today to survey and inspect the newly constructed border wall and learn how @realDonaldTrump’s policies are working. I look forward to learning how Congress can do more to help the president secure our border!

I wonder what correlation exists between cities with the biggest protests and cities with the strictest COVID-19 lockdowns?

There are too many who will jump at any story—even if it’s completely false—to make @realDonaldTrump look bad. It’s happened before, it’s happening again, and it’s shameful. Here is a statement from the US Park Policd to correct the record: https://t.co/HuPZg2XPNU

“#HongKong was a secure and prosperous as a free territory… [but] China has replaced its promised formula of ‘One Country, Two Systems” with “One Country, One System.” Sad but necessary step to revoke #HongKong’s special status.

Grateful that @Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg seems to have come around and recognize he and his team are ill-equipped to be the arbiters of truth. Social media should let people decide for themselves whether or not they agree with the president! https://t.co/cYJBAxQUXr

As we enjoy our Memorial Day let us not forget those who paid the ultimate sacrifice we can remain the greatest country the world! https://t.co/Q9GVPbrVew

Thank you, @RichardGrenell, for representing and serving USA & @realDonaldTrump so well! You were outstanding as ambassador and you provided critical leadership while serving as acting DNI. Looking forward to to seeing what’s next!!

Voting by mail leaves our democratic process vulnerable to more and more tampering like the crimes detailed here. Those committing voter fraud deserve the strictest punishments under the law! https://t.co/QqaA88pjzX

10 Chinese Communist Party officials committed gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. The U.S. should lead the world in condemning them for their abuses by issuing sanctions. Read more via @juligraceb https://t.co/yy5hpgYVyG

Why is @CalPERS critical of the Jewish state but quiet on the human right abuses in China? @CaliforniaGlobe https://t.co/jXJUPQryzh

There were two fundamental questions raised in my letter to @GavinNewsom you neglected to answer. First question: Is Mr. Meng a member of the Chinese Thousand Talents Program, something the FBI called a ‘non-traditional espionage program?’

Second question: Since Meng came back as Chief Investment Officer of CalPERS, has CalPERS invested in companies that are affiliated with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army?

In addition to these questions, I’d like clarification from Mr. Meng about what he meant when he said his ‘roots were in China,’ and why he said that if he got ‘an opportunity to serve the motherland, such responsibility and honor cannot be compared to anything.’

I look forward to hearing @CalPERS address these national security concerns.

Ah yes, good point on @NPR. Their new CEO formerly ran @VOANews but had to leave after a scandal where he fired 5 award-winning journalists -- one who witnessed Tiananmen Square massacre -- because they spoke with a Chinese whistleblower and Beijing got mad. QT @nkellyatJG: Happens here in US too. Most recent example being @NPR)

@nkellyatJG @NPR Ah yes, @NPR. Their new CEO formerly ran @VOANews but had to leave after a scandal where he fired 5 award-winning journalists -- one who witnessed Tiananmen Square massacre -- because they interviewed a Chinese dissident and Beijing got mad. Is that what you're referring to Niki?

Rosneft, a Russian oligarch controlled firm, shipped millions of oil barrels out of Venezuela, evading US sanctions & letting Maduro cling to power. Glad @realdonaldtrump is holding Rosneft to account for its complicity in the oppression of Venezuelans https://t.co/7QYUcDxD9K

CA's CalPERS CIO Yu Ben Meng is a gradate of something @FBI calls "a non-traditional espionage" program, and he's quoted in a Chinese-language newspaper saying he has "roots in China" and feels a sense of "honor and responsibility" to "serve the motherland." https://t.co/EkYN7u3vq7

The #CCP now has the drivers licenses, SSNs, or birth date, etc. of nearly 1/2 of the US. This data can/will be fed to China's A.I. Terrifying. The U.S. has never dealt w/ such ruthless techno-authoritarianism. Cyber-sec more important now than ever. https://t.co/oitJSkSWgL

"The factory’s owner, hopes for better relations between Tehran and the U.S. 'I hope there is a day that the flags we produce are presented as a gift,' he told AP." Very telling. The Iranian people are being held hostage by a murderous, hateful regime. https://t.co/BnIJJQQKN0

What's striking about this speech so far -- @realDonaldTrump is rising above the circus and petty politics that has mired Capitol Hill in recent months. #SOTU

During the impeachment trial, Dems appealed to the supposed “national-security risk” posed by a Trump presidency. This admins' record build-up of our military exposes that talking point for what it is—a disingenuous smear. My latest from @FoxNews https://t.co/ac7vy8ljnF

.@SenRandPaul’s question was the most important asked yesterday -- the so-called whistleblower is a political operative who was intent on finding ways to destroy this president, and he coordinated with Rep. Schiff and his committee to bring about this impeachment hoax. @LouDobbs https://t.co/xXkgQWhbWx
