Iran
Ernst (R-IA) 10/13/2022: Tweet – “#Iran is getting a free pass under Biden – allowing Iran to target U.S. citizens abroad & at home, develop nuclear weapons, & brutalize its civilian population. My #PUNISHAct will impose maximum pressure sanctions on the largest state sponsor of terrorism.”
Maloney (D-NY-12) 10/13/2022: Tweet – “The Iranian government's violence against their own people is horrific and unconscionable.

Womack (R-AR-3) 10/13/2022: Tweet – “The Iranian regime is evil. They're using lethal force against their own people in an attempt to silence those protesting for freedom and fundamental rights.

Saudi Arabia
Bacon (R-NE-2) 10/14/2022: Tweet – “America has the resources to be energy independent and we were for 2 years in previous Administration. Relying on and begging others to produce more energy while we have resources here is ludicrous. The Biden-Pelosi energy policy has weakened America.

Here me out. This is important.”
Casten (D-IL-6) 10/14/2022: Twitter thread – “The same @SenBillCassidy who wrote a bill to pull troops out of Saudi Arabia because oil prices were too low 2 years ago now thinks it's a bad idea to pull troops out of Saudi Arabia when oil prices are too high. At least we know who he's looking out for. Link to image To be fair, this isn't just Cassidy. It's the whole @GOP. They are awash in oil industry money and fight to make sure oil companies are rich. That is directly antithetical to making sure consumer energy prices are low. To be fair to @SenBillCassidy, he represents a state that depends on oil revenue. He's just trying to bring $ to his voters. If he was honest about that, we could respect him. But don't give us this BS that your provincial interests are those of America writ large.”
Clyde (R-GA-9) 10/14/2022: Tweet – “Just so we're clear… Joe Biden begged Saudi Arabia to delay oil production cuts until after the midterms and is now threatening “consequences” after the Saudis refused his politically-motivated request. We need congressional investigations NOW.”
Cramer (R-ND) 10/13/2022: Tweet – “Joined @SquawkCNBC to discuss the global need for American energy production.

Daines (R-MT) 10/13/2022: Tweet – “First, @JoeBiden kills traditional American energy & begs OPEC to produce more.

Good (R-VA-5) 10/14/2022: Tweet – “Well would you look at that, #QuidProJoe urged Saudi Arabia to postpone a cut in oil production until AFTER the midterm elections.

Malinowski (D-NJ-7) 10/13/2022: Tweet – “Agree 100% Link to quoted tweet2/ First, the Ukrainians are using (and need more) air-to-air AMRAAM missiles. These missiles are needed to defend against Russia's criminal bombardment of civilians. The U.S. is scheduled to send 280 AMRAAMs to Saudi Arabia. These should be redirected to Ukraine.”
Murphy (D-CT) 10/13/2022: Twitter thread – “1/ I support halting arms sales to Saudi Arabia, but there are two practical, immediate changes the U.S. can make to Saudi policy that will have an near term impact on the war in Ukraine.

The U.S. is scheduled to send 280 AMRAAMs to Saudi Arabia. These should be redirected to Ukraine. 3/ Second, there are U.S. owned and operated Patriot anti-missile batteries in Saudi Arabia right now. If Saudi Arabia isn't willing to take the side of Ukraine and U.S. over Russia, why should we keep these Patriots in Saudi Arabia when Ukraine and our NATO allies need them? 4/ We should remove these Patriot batteries from Saudi Arabia and move them to either Ukraine, or NATO partners who have transferred weapons to Ukraine and need to backfill defense systems. These two steps would right-size our relationship with Saudi Arabia AND help Ukraine.”

Murphy (D-CT) 10/13/2022: Retweet of @AndrewDesiderio – “On Saudi Arabia, Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT gets specific — he says the U.S. should remove its advanced missile defense systems from Saudi Arabia & send them to Ukraine or Poland/Romania. This would have one-two punch of punishing the Saudis & directly helping Ukraine. Link to image”
Murphy (D-CT) 10/13/2022: Retweet of @connorobrienNH – “Sen. Chris Murphy says the US should remove Patriot batteries in Saudi Arabia and send them to Europe “to bolster the defenses of eastern flank NATO allies like Poland and Romania — or transferred to our Ukrainian partners.” Link to image”
Reschenthaler (R-PA-14) 10/13/2022: Tweet – “Biden tried to coerce Saudi Arabia into bailing out his radical energy policies. He threatened an ally so he could gaslight the electorate a month shy of the midterms. Election interference?”

Roy (R-TX-21) 10/14/2022: Tweet – “Dems open border. Cartels target US citizens with deadly fentanyl (from China). More Americans die from this attack than “terrorist” attacks. @GovAbbott rightly calls cartels terrorists they are. Swamp GOP sits around hand-wringing RE: calling them terrorists. #StandUpForAmerica Link to quoted tweetI've been tracking fentanyl poisoning for the last 6 weeks. In the last 42 days, 6,468 Americans died from fentanyl poisoning. That's the equivalent of 1,617 mass shootings. For context, 7,000 US soldiers died in Iraq & Afghanistan. #Raleigh”

Young (R-IN) 10/14/2022: Twitter thread – “On October 16, 2002, Congress voted to authorize the use of military force against the regime of Saddam Hussein. As we mark the 20th anniversary, @TimKaine and I are calling for repeal of the 2002 AUMF, which the United States no longer requires. Young, Kaine Call For Repeal of 2002 AUMF Ahead of 20th Anniversary | U.S. Senator Todd Young of Indiana The current war authorities are outdated, unnecessary, and could be subject to misuse by future presidents. Our bipartisan legislation will repeal the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs and reinstate Congress' constitutionally-mandated oversight role of declaring and ending wars. We owe it to our nation's service members, military families, and veterans to pass this legislation repealing the 2002 AUMF and formalize the end of the Iraq War.”
