HPSCI Democrats call on @POTUS to rescind Bill Pulte's appointment: "He has distinguished himself only as someone who will do or say anything to stay in your good graces, qualities that are precisely the opposite of what our nation needs in a DNI." More: democrats-intelligence.house…

Even by Trump Administration standards, Bill Pulte is totally unqualified to be DNI. He has no relevant experience and his sole qualification is unconditional devotion to Donald Trump. Since there will be no senate confirmation (of course), it is critical that Pulte go through a full security clearance process before he walks into the building.

Very happy to be back in Kyiv with @SenBlumenthal to see President Zelenskyy and reiterate our support for the remarkable people of Ukraine as they stand against the criminal attacks of Vladimir Putin.
Today, American Members of Congress Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal and Jim Himes @jahimes are in Kyiv. It is an important visit during these difficult days after a massive attack. We are grateful to the United States, to the President, Congress for their strong bipartisan support, and to all Americans. We discussed further support for Ukraine, particularly in strengthening air defenses. We have a significant need for antiballistic missiles due to the constant Russian attacks. I sent a letter to the White House and the U.S. Congress outlining Ukraine’s needs for such missiles. And today, I also personally handed this letter to the congressmen. We are counting on timely support. I briefed the congressmen on the frontline situation and on our successful long-range sanctions. Our partners clearly see that Russia is suffering enormous losses. It is important to prevent any weakening of sanctions against the Russian Federation – we discussed this as well. We are also working with the American side on concluding a Drone Deal. Particular attention was given to the negotiation process. There must be no pause in diplomacy, and talks must be reinvigorated. The whole world needs peace.

Ranking Member Jim Himes: It’s hard to arrive at any conclusion other than the fact that due to the political toxicity of this war President Trump has just surrendered.

I just voted on a War Powers Resolution to force Trump to end the war in Iran. Republicans blocked it, AGAIN. This war has already cost $35 billion, money that could be going toward lowering costs and helping families. Republicans chose more spending & pain for working families.

Republicans just blocked our effort to end Trump’s reckless war with Iran. It’s a disgrace.

I just voted again to end Donald Trump’s war with Iran. Unfortunately, my Republican colleagues continue to put their loyalty to this president over the needs of the American people.

The President broke his promise when he dragged the nation into war with Iran. He even threatened genocide against Iran, calling for "the death of a civilization." As Military City, USA, my hometown understands very well the stakes and costs of war. I won’t vote to send another generation of American women and men from San Antonio or anywhere to fight in another 20 year, trillion dollar war in the Middle East.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, confirmed that Israel has different objectives in the war in Iran than the U.S. This is a serious admission. Entering a war alongside an ally with different goals threatens our ability to achieve peace.
