In the three years of his presidency, Biden’s “Don’t” has come to be less a minatory instruction to adversaries and more a reliable starting signal to do whatever it is the president wants them not to, writes Gerard Baker

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Next up: Game 82 @ Montreal tomorrow night.

GOP Senate hopeful Mike Rogers raised just over $1M last quarter, reports $1.38M In the bank #MISen

Well, that certainly didn’t take long…
3rd week with the Falcons & a teammate says to me in the lunch line: “I feel like you give off serious Dad vibes, Kirk”

Iran is producing record amounts of oil, enabling it to pay for missiles, drones and whatnot, as Biden refuses to enforce Trump's sanctions against Iran oil exports afraid an oil price spike would further crush his approval rating

Glad to see my bill, HR5921 - The No US Financing for Iran Act - added to the list of bills seeing action in the House today.
Unbelievably Iran is still using the US financial system as well as being eligible for World Bank and IMF funds! Time to put a stop to that!

Cicero once said, “The more laws, the less justice.”
NY judges and lawyers appear eager to prove that the same is true for cases. Today Donald Trump's criminal trial begins and it may prove a greater indictment for the NY court system than the defendant.  jonathanturley.org/2024/04/15/the…

Not to mention the Biden rollback on energy and oil sanctions… that is how Iran bankrolls terrorism and makes weapon purchases.

There are multiple House-passed bills containing aid to Israel sitting in the Senate that Chuck Schumer can bring up immediately. Congress should also act to pass new sanctions on Iran including my bill HR 5921 and restore maximum pressure on the Iranian regime immediately. (2/2)

I stand with Israel and completely condemn the actions of Iran. The Biden Administration needs to end their soft on Iran policies and restore accountability. (1/2)

Reminder: Biden allowed the UN sanctions on Iran's drones and ballistic missiles to expire less than six months ago.

The very same drones and missiles en route to Israel right now.

Biden administration, 4 months apart:

Jake Sullivan, Sep. 2023: 'The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.'

Antony Blinken, Jan. 2024: “We have not seen a situation as dangerous as the one we are facing now across the region since at least 1973.'

Uh. Wow.
Iran says the “matter can be deemed concluded.”

Even U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission realizes its own climate rule is unworkable as written. Watch my interview on Bloomberg about how the SEC likely violated the law and how I am leading House Republicans to rein in Gary Gensler.

Ruby Garcia's life was tragically cut short because of Joe Biden's open border policies. Governor Gretchen Whitmer still hasn't even acknowledged her.

Her life mattered. Say her name.
