Groveling before a war criminal is unconscionable.
Putin has masterminded the slaughter of thousands of Ukrainian civilians.
He is not a humanitarian—no amount of shameless flattery will change that.
RM @RepGregoryMeeks: President Milei’s endorsement is an inappropriate intrusion into our democracy. American elections are decided by American voters, not foreign heads of state. The U.S. and Argentina share a longstanding relationship built on mutual respect and shared democratic values. President Milei should respect those principles, and Congress must continue to make clear that any foreign electoral interference is unacceptable.
Florida Politics: Republican U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar now has the support of Argentine President Javier Milei in her re-election bid in Florida’s 27th Congressional District.
In a video Salazar shared on social media, Milei described Salazar in Spanish as “one of the strongest and most respected voices in the Americas.”

“The United States Congress stands strongly and unequivocally with Ukraine. Russia's continued campaign of war crimes and its slaughtering of innocent civilians, aided by the Trump Administration’s pro-Putin agenda, demands urgent and forceful action from Congress to reaffirm that support."

NEW!! Rep. Meeks urges Congress to counter Trump’s Russia sanctions waiver, pointing to bipartisan legislation supporting Ukraine, blocking Russian oil deals and fixing the Graham sanctions bill.
“Congress is not helpless,” he says, calling for action to stand with Ukraine against Putin.
"Donald Trump has spent years chasing the Nobel Peace Prize. After weeks of pro-Putin policy and this shameful waiver, he deserves a different honor: the Neville Chamberlain Appeasement Award."
Statement from Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks on Trump waiving sanctions on Russia:
House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems retweeted
House Foreign Affairs Top Democrat Gregory Meeks, who voted No against the Lindsey Graham Russia & Iran sanctions bill, said in House floor debate that the bill’s “historically broad waiver language makes imposing sanctions essentially optional. Do we really believe that President Trump, on his record, is going to suddenly get serious about punishing Russia?”

Trump’s diesel deal gives Vladimir Putin millions of dollars to finance his war against the Ukrainian people while doing next to nothing to lower prices at the pump.
This dangerous and irresponsible decision must be reversed.
That’s why I joined 17 of my colleagues in introducing bipartisan legislation to block it.
🚨🚨Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks, joined by 17 House colleagues, introduced the bipartisan Prohibit Corrupt Russia Oil Deals Act to block President Trump’s corrupt deal with Vladimir Putin to purchase and import Russian diesel.

I've co-led bipartisan legislation to end Trump's diesel deal w/ Putin. It includes my bill, the NOPE Act, which strengthens oversight of Russia sanctions to ensure Trump can't lift them w/out Congress having a say.
I urge Republicans to take it up when we return to Washington.

Trump’s war with Iran is driving up gas and diesel prices, fueling inflation, and raising costs for families across the Sacramento region.
The impact goes far beyond the gas pump. Higher fuel prices make it more expensive to produce and transport goods, increase operating costs for businesses, and ultimately drive up prices on everyday essentials.
We must end this reckless war and bring down costs for the American people.

This is a rough September inflation report.
-Biggest monthly jump since May
-Higher than expected inflation AND core inflation
-Core Inflation for the past 3 months is running at well over a 3% annualized pace...that's problematic
-Inflation (3.7%) totally wiping out wage gains (3%)
Yes, high gas and diesel prices are the major driver, but also big jumps in airfares, used car prices, recreation, medical and apparel. The energy shock is spreading.

Ranking Members @RepGregoryMeeks & @RepBera joined bipartisan colleagues in a letter to Amb. Waltz calling on the US to oppose an effort by the Burmese military junta to credential or seat a junta-appointed official—a brazen attempt to legitimize its sham electoral process before the UN.

Starlink disruptions are forcing Ukraine to cancel combat missions, compromising drone operations, frontline logistics, and defenses against Russian drones. When combined with reports that the US is threatening to stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine, it shows that President Trump is siding with Russia and that his decisions are causing more Ukrainians to needlessly die. The President must stop playing politics with Ukrainian lives, reaffirm support for Ukraine, and rescind this ‘diesel deal’ which only emboldens Putin and his war machine. United and transatlantic support for President Zelenskyy is critical.
