Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.
SOME DAY IS TODAY.
❗🇺🇸 USSTRATCOM tells HASC Strategic Forces Subcommittee that there are conversations about possibly opening a second production line for the B-21 Raider.
The B-21 Raider is a critical capability for our strategic deterrence. If 150 Raiders is the requirement, we need to plan and build the infrastructure and production capacity now, so we don't fall short as we did with the B-2. Leaving America undefended is not an option.
I support negotiations, but we should not act like referees between two equal sides. Ukraine is a democracy under attack. Russia is the aggressor, bombing cities, killing POWs, and kidnapping children. There is a right and wrong here, and we should be clear about it.
