Iran
Bacon (R-NE-2) 06/04/2022: In reply to Tweet@Jdangelo4404 @RepDonBacon @POTUS Why doesn't potus open up production and pipelines here and really make a difference? – “@dennis_fujan @Jdangelo4404 @POTUS The left wages war against US energy companies, then asks OPEC to do more, and wants a deal with Iran and Venezuela. Terrible policy. Link to reply@dennis_fujan @RepDonBacon @POTUS Oil production is similar to trump admin if not better. OPEC sets the price for oil in the world. Literally their purpose. @Jdangelo4404 @dennis_fujan @POTUS This President cut permits for production and infrastructure.”

Iraq
Slotkin (D-MI-8) 06/04/2022: Twitter thread – “It's been an extremely tough year with gun violence, from the rise in shootings in Lansing to the Oxford High School shooting 6 months ago. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children in the US. Think about that. (1/5) Link to video Today, survivors got together to talk about their experience and demand more from those who represent them. (2/5) I grew up with guns and carried a weapon on my three tours in Iraq alongside the military. Maybe that's why I reject the false choice that you either care about the 2nd Amendment or you care about kids' safety. (3/5) And maybe that's why the refusal of my colleagues to just come to the table with an open heart to negotiate reasonable changes gets me so frustrated. (4/5) If you claim to care about kids, you should care about doing something about their leading cause of death. (5/5)”
Turkey
Wild (D-PA-7) 06/04/2022: In reply to TweetNEW: As Dr. Oz wins the GOP nomination, a photo showing him voting in the 2018 Turkish election has resurfaced—Oz claimed he has “never been politically involved in Turkey in any capacity.” National security experts are warning he would be denied security clearances as a senator. – “@NoLieWithBTC It is absolutely insane that *any* Member of Congress has access to classified info without any kind of security clearance. What's more, spouses get entry into all buildings without going through metal detectors. Considering the seditionists running RN, this needs to be revised.”
