    No asylum for people fleeing war in Sudan or conflict in Haiti, but Rubio is rolling out the red carpet for Bolsonaro. Apparently, fleeing violence doesn’t qualify. Denying election results does.

    UPDATE: The State Department plans to issue visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family to allow them entry into the United States, a senior State Department official said.

    RM @RepGregoryMeeks: The Egyptian government’s closure of @MadaMasr and its politically motivated detention and conviction of editor Lina Attalah is unacceptable. These actions are attacks on press freedom and a blatant effort to silence independent journalism. I call on Egypt to reverse the closure and release wrongfully detained journalists.

    Trump and his billionaire donors get richer while everyday Americans get a bigger bill at the pump for his failed war of choice. Trump serves himself and his rich friends. Not you.

    TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

    RM @RepGregoryMeeks: Congratulations to Lula on his electoral victory. The Brazilian people have made their voices heard, and I look forward to working with the incoming government. The Trump administration must support a peaceful and orderly transfer of power that reflects the will of the Brazilian people and respects the democratic process.

    We cannot bomb our way out of the mess Trump has made in Iran. More unauthorized U.S. strikes would be reckless, costly, and a betrayal to the American people who are being forced to pay for a war they do not support.

    Rubio should have never halted these vital fellowships. RM @RepGregoryMeeks and HFAC colleagues fought to protect them. Now the State Department must restore them as Congress mandated—without political favoritism or ideological loyalty tests. Congress will be watching.

    Reminder for Mike Waltz: the United States government determined genocide occurred in Burma.

    Ambassador Mike Waltz @USAmbUN
    ICJ ad hoc "judge" Navi Pillay is tipping the scales on the ICJ’s current proceedings on Myanmar, intending to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide so that weakened and false standard can later be weaponized against American and allied soldiers whenever they raise a finger against terrorists that hide behind civilians. Pillay: We see your agenda and we'll be watching the ICJ’s handling of these proceedings very closely. As our actions against the ICC demonstrate, we will not allow globalist, faux-judges to weaponize the law against our troops, undermine our sovereignty, or put American lives at risk.   The Nobel Committee has disgraced itself by awarding the Peace Prize to Pillay. What a shameful choice to "honor" someone who represents an "international community" with a leftist, globalist, antisemitic agenda. President Trump is showing a better way, by actually ENDING WARS, bringing hostages HOME, and making PEACE.

    RM @RepGregoryMeeks: Rubio is firing or sidelining career diplomats in favor of loyalists. Not meritocracy, but MAGA nepotism. Personnel decisions based on political litmus tests are blatantly illegal and do real harm to national security. Congress and State OIG must investigate—I’m working to ensure that.
    Eric Katz @EricM_Katz
    SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24. Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff. State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

    Groveling before a war criminal is unconscionable. Putin has masterminded the slaughter of thousands of Ukrainian civilians. He is not a humanitarian—no amount of shameless flattery will change that.

    Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

    RM @RepGregoryMeeks: President Milei’s endorsement is an inappropriate intrusion into our democracy. American elections are decided by American voters, not foreign heads of state. The U.S. and Argentina share a longstanding relationship built on mutual respect and shared democratic values. President Milei should respect those principles, and Congress must continue to make clear that any foreign electoral interference is unacceptable.

    RT @ralexdc: NEW!! Rep. Meeks urges Congress to counter Trump’s Russia sanctions waiver, pointing to bipartisan legislation supporting Ukraine, blocking Russian oil deals and fixing the Graham sanctions bill. “Congress is not helpless,” he says, calling for action to stand with Ukraine against Putin.

    RT @CraigCaplan: House Foreign Affairs Top Democrat Gregory Meeks, who voted No against the Lindsey Graham Russia & Iran sanctions bill, said in House floor debate that the bill’s “historically broad waiver language makes imposing sanctions essentially optional. Do we really believe that President Trump, on his record, is going to suddenly get serious about punishing Russia?”

    RT @RepBera: Trump’s diesel deal gives Vladimir Putin millions of dollars to finance his war against the Ukrainian people while doing next to nothing to lower prices at the pump.    This dangerous and irresponsible decision must be reversed.   That’s why I joined 17 of my colleagues in introducing bipartisan legislation to block it.
