Indefensible that American life must be lost before Joe Biden acts. Had he responded in force to dozens of earlier Iranian attacks, this tragedy could have been prevented. @SecDef needs to explain why he isn’t doing more to deter Iran. foxnews.com/world/us-retal…

Further, every employee of TikTok in our country should be forced to register as a foreign agent, as should every one of their lobbyists, PR flaks, and lawyers. They should also hang their heads in shame after shilling for a Chinese Communist Trojan Horse.

@tiktok_us CEO Shou Chew’s disgraceful testimony today is beneath contempt. He should be deported immediately and never again allowed to re-enter our country.

TikTok’s CEO effectively admitted the app transmits Americans’ data to the CCP. This isn’t complicated: it’s time to ban this spy app.

TikTok’s CEO has repeatedly tried to distance the platform from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. Then why does TikTok’s top lobbyist file as working for ByteDance?

Shou Chew refused to say whether Chinese employees of TikTok in China have access to American user data. That “answer” tells you everything that you need to know.

Shou Chew testified that TikTok’s parent company isn’t controlled by the Chinese government. We know this isn’t true, and that the CCP has final say over everything TikTok does.

Nothing Shou Chew says today will change the fact that American data is at risk. Ban TikTok.

We shouldn’t allow Chinese logistics software to track our commercial and military ships. My bill with @RepSteel bill will block its use in ports at home and abroad. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

Our military is facing an unprecedented recruiting crisis.
We need to get rid of the bureaucratic red tape that keeps healthy, patriotic Americans from serving their country.

Russia downed a U.S. drone, and President Biden immediately retreats. His weakness encourages more attacks and legitimizes Russia’s bogus claim that we can’t fly in international waters. cnn.com/2023/03/21/pol…

It’s past time for @SecDef to update the Department of Defense’s warfighting requirements in Europe. Our military must be ready and able to respond to threats to America and our allies. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

As Xi’s Moscow meeting shows, Russia and China are not separate threats. When and where America falters, our enemies will grow bolder.

President Biden’s first veto put left-wing ideology ahead of Americans’ financial security, over the objections of a bipartisan Congress.

Joe Biden’s first veto as president: letting retirement fund managers prioritize ESG scams over the best-performing investments. Why is he playing games with working people’s retirement money? twitter.com/BGOV/status/16…

The Biden administration's response to SVB has been a failure from the top-down. Now, they're bailing out Chinese companies aligned with the CCP.

The Biden administration’s instinct is to coddle and appease China at every turn. America has grown weaker because of it. washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are exploiting President Biden’s weakness. Under his leadership, America has only receded from the world stage.

No deal to remove TikTok from Chinese control will be able to protect Americans. TikTok should be banned from the U.S.

An attack on an officer is an attack on our democracy, and those criminals must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. My bill will subject those who murder police to a punishment they deserve, life in prison or the death penalty. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

TikTok captures vast amounts of private information on users—including American citizens—and provides the CCP with access to that information. My bill will eliminate the threat TikTok and apps like it pose to Americans’ private data. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

The “good neighbor rule” is anything but—despite Arkansas’s good-faith efforts to comply, this top-down set of regulations will harm both energy production and manufacturing in our state. washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy-…

From purchasing fields and pastures to gobbling up companies like Smithfield, Chinese influence in American agriculture means that China’s needs, not America’s, come first. wsj.com/articles/smith…

The Russian attack on an American drone can’t go unanswered.
If President Biden makes no response, he invites more aggression.

Creating a national gun registry won’t stop violent shootings by deranged criminals. But it will restrict the freedoms of law-abiding Americans and put too much power in the hands of political officials and corporations. reuters.com/world/us/us-se…
