It appears that, once again, this Republican administration is out of touch with reality if they think that they can buy peace through arms. Selling precision-guided bombs to Saudi Arabia will only flare up an already volatile region and further weaken our national security. I will work with my colleagues in Congress to block these arms sales. # # # Next Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
