Barrasso (R-WY) 03/22/2022: Tweet – “Maybe we ought to have @POTUS tell the Energy Committee why it is that he has Venezuela and Iran on speed dial, but continues to tie up American energy producers in red tape.

Murphy (D-CT) 03/22/2022: Twitter thread – “I was in today's Iran briefing. None of this reflects what is in the proposed deal. Economic relief will be limited Human rights sanctions remain. IRGC will remain heavily sanctioned. There is no path to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon other than this deal. Period. Stop. Link to quoted tweetA nuclear deal that offers $90-$130B in sanctions relief, relieves sanctions against #Iran's worst #humanrights offenders, & delists the #IRGC doesn't support our nat'l security interests. Worse, this deal could enable #Putin to build his nuclear arsenal. Biden should walk away. None of this is classified info btw. Getting back into the JCPOA doesn't require all IRGC sanctions or human rights sanctions to be lifted. And economic relief will be limited bc most multinational companies have just decided to stay out of Iran. Not a single Iran deal opponent has a better idea. “Maximum pressure” sanctions didn't work. Sabotage and assassination hasn't worked. War with Iran won't work. Diplomacy is the only viable path that has ever expanded Iran's breakout time.”

Slotkin (D-MI-8) 03/22/2022: Twitter thread – “This morning, a small group from my office, @SpiritAmerica, Yalda Hakim & a veteran of the @MichiganStateU GRAIN program met the 114 Afghans we have been working to get to the U.S. since late August as they landed at Dulles airport. 1/6 Link to image This group was the first of the 6k Afghans scattered in several countries who are coming to settle here. It was overwhelming to see them snake through the lines to be processed. 2/6 It was also hard not to think that they were going through the same lines that so many of our ancestors, including some of mine, came through at Ellis Island — waiting patiently to get through the doors & out to a new life. 3/6 Special thanks to @CBP, who led the fly-away teams to Albania to vet them & who organized an amazing process when they arrived. I also want to again thank @USAmbAlbania & @AlbanianDiplo for their generosity & kindness in hosting this group over the last 7 months. 4/6 As I told my team, it's not every day that you get to see something through in government work. And it's not every day that you get to greet the people on the receiving end of that work. 5/6 The moral of the story for our team is that even in a world where people seem to only remember the last headline, hard work, persistence and a having a good heart still really matter. 6/6”
