After 894 harrowing days of wrongful detention by the Taliban, Ryan Corbett is finally coming home to his family. I commend all those involved in securing Ryan’s release, especially Ryan’s wife Anna, who tirelessly fought for her husband’s freedom up until this long-awaited.

The President is fortunate to have Marco Rubio on the job as Secretary of State. Our longtime Senate colleague has built deep foreign policy expertise and demonstrated determination to meet threats around the world with strength. He will bring to the State Department a sorely.

In the wake of terrorist savagery, our obligation is to deliver justice. However long it takes, those responsible for September 11th deserve nothing more, and the families of their victims deserve nothing less. Proud to reintroduce the Justice For 9/11 Act with @SenTomCotton.

The masterminds behind 9/11 should face trial — not plea deals. Joe Biden is setting the stage to let them go free, our bill will prevent him from doing so.

It’s not every day that a judge has a retirement party and then tells the President he’s going to keep his job. I expect that Judge Wynn will face significant ethics complaints based on Canons 2 and 5 of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges, followed by serial recusal demands from.

Judge Wynn's brazenly partisan decision to rescind his retirement is an unprecedented move that demonstrates some judges are nothing more than politicians in robes. Judge Wynn clearly takes issue with the fact that @realDonaldTrump was just elected President, and this decision is.

After the American people fired Democrats last month, an unprecedented two federal judges who had announced their retirement reversed course. Judges are supposed to wear black robes, not Democratic blue. The judiciary ought to leave politics to the proper branches.

Those who mourn senseless human suffering in Israel and Gaza should assign blame to the terrorists responsible. And those who seek peace should know better than to pretend we can achieve it while such savages hold power. The Senate must reject @SenSanders’ anti-Israel.

Today: 45 Hong Kong democracy activists sentenced under "national security" law. Tomorrow: Jimmy Lai's sham trial resumes. “One country, two systems” is wishful thinking. Glad @marcorubio, a strong leader on Hong Kong, will stand up to PRC authoritarian designs from @StateDept.

Today, U.S. servicemembers are deployed around the globe, following the footsteps of generations whose service and sacrifice preserved the American experiment. Veterans Day is a reminder of the great debt we owe them. To veterans, servicemembers, and military families: thank you.

Iran sent hundreds of missiles at Israeli civilians. Israel's response targeted the engine of terror that equips Houthi attacks on U.S. vessels and Russian attacks on Ukraine. We must recognize what Israel already does: the objective is deterrence, not diplomacy for its own sake.

Yahya Sinwar was the mastermind of the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, and today, families shattered on October 7th have a small measure of justice. Israel has yet again demonstrated what it means to impose costs on adversaries, and America ought to take notes.
