Omar (D-MN-5) 06/05/2022: Retweet of @justinamash – “U.S. support for Saudi Arabia in Yemen is criminal. America should not be arming or aiding these atrocities in any way. Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden should be held accountable as well as the members of Congress who shilled for the weapons sales. Link to quoted tweet”
Omar (D-MN-5) 06/06/2022: Retweet of @RepAdamSchiff – “The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia ordered the brutal murder of an American resident and journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.

Omar (D-MN-5) 06/05/2022: In reply to Tweet@IdilayBilan I agree. It is a difficult task but first we have to speak about these abuses, acknowledge that it exists. – “@RuqiaBotan @IdilayBilan Untreated trauma is transferred and Idil lays out a clear understanding of the circle of trauma in Somalis that we must find a way to break free from. I hope more people read it, internalize it and get to work on themselves. Link to reply@IlhanMN @RuqiaBotan I would also like to add that I believe the work of healing repressed trauma has begun. And we're seeing a generational shift, as I believe Gen Z are not interested in bringing any of the inherited trauma on their path to repairing/restoring our communities. @IdilayBilan @RuqiaBotan True, I see it with my kids and it gives me hope.”

Bacon (R-NE-2) 06/05/2022: Retweet of @Kasparov63 – “The Afghan government was going to last but fell in four days. The Ukrainian government was going to fall in four days but is still standing. Why are the people who did this analysis for the Biden admin still in their jobs?”
Blackburn (R-TN) 06/06/2022: Tweet – “Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan pushed Communist China into working with the Taliban. Now, they're poised to make several deals to mine Afghanistan's natural resources together.”
Boebert (R-CO-3) 06/05/2022: Tweet – “Biden trusts Ukraine with guns. He trusts the Taliban with guns. He trusts the Mexican drug cartels with guns. Why doesn't he trust law-abiding Americans with guns?”
Greene (R-GA-14) 06/05/2022: Tweet – “Joe Biden armed the Taliban. Joe Biden & most of Congress armed Ukraine so they can defend themselves. Now Joe Biden & most of Congress want to disarm the American people taking away their ability to defend themselves. And the American taxpayers pay for all it. Impeach Biden.”
Markey (D-MA) 06/06/2022: Tweet – “The Taliban's recently imposed restrictions on women are unacceptable and violate human rights.
