This admin keeps throwing Russia lifeline after lifeline to try to offset the damage caused by Trump's war of choice.
They can’t be trusted, which is why @meeks.house.gov and
@keating.house.gov introduced a bill to terminate these licenses.

Remember when President Obama got smeared by Republicans for a carefully structured nuclear deal with strict limits and inspections?
Now Trump is reportedly floating a $20 BILLION giveaway to Iran, with nothing clear in return—and only crickets from Republicans.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov after House Republicans voted against his Iran War Powers Resolution:
2/ …for Hezbollah disarmament to continue, and for much needed aid to those most impacted by the conflict.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov marking three years since the start of the civil war in Sudan:
Trump's war of choice caused a global energy crisis that spiked gas prices.
Waiving sanctions on Russian oil has done nothing to bring gas costs down for Americans—but has gifted the Kremlin with billions to commit more atrocities in Ukraine & help Iran target Americans in the Middle East.

RM @meeks.house.gov: The Burkinabe junta is terrorizing the very communities that it swore to protect. The Trump administration must not turn a blind eye to the atrocities underway in Burkina Faso and take immediate action to hold the responsible parties to account.

RM @meeks.house.gov: My condolences to all killed or harmed in this brutal attack. The Nigerian government must investigate and hold those responsible to account, and set clearer rules of engagement to protect civilians in conflict-affected communities.

JD Vance says the goal is getting Iran to commit to not build a nuclear weapon.
It already made that commitment in 2015 under the JCPOA—a deal Trump tore up.
Now this admin has dragged the country into a pointless war to recover ground it gave away—and American families are paying the price.
🚨NEW🚨
Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov and @keating.house.gov introduced the “End Russian Oil Windfalls Act” to curtail Russia’s ability to exploit the global rise in energy costs to fund its war against Ukraine.
Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov on ongoing strikes in Lebanon:
American farmers struggled to make ends meet under Trump's tariffs, and now are facing surging fertilizer and fuel costs because of Trump's war of choice in Iran.
Farmers deserve better than a president who keeps raising their costs.
Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov on the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran:
Reminder that JD Vance flew to Hungary to campaign in a foreign election, locking arms with Putin to re-elect Victor Orban.
You can’t make this up.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov on Trump’s threats to strike Iranian civilian infrastructure:
Trump has gone from threatening war crimes to talking about wiping out “an entire civilization.” This is dangerous, reckless, and shows a president out of his depth.
Trump's increasingly showing he's unfit for office—and those defending this war of choice are complicit.
