Four years ago, we were celebrating the signing of the Abraham Accords, a historic advancement to peace in the Middle East ushered in by the Trump administration.

I just got back from visiting Israel and our friends there need our support. Biden had said he made an ‘ironclad’ commitment to our ally and we need to make sure he keeps it.

It has been 100 days since the October 7 terror attacks in Israel. We led a congressional delegation to four Middle East countries recently. Our hostages must come home now.

The two mighty oceans no longer protect America from the world. The U.S. needs to be strong and work with our allies to stand up to rising threats, including China.

The US must stand up to Iran, not by the appeasement of the Biden administration but by a 4-pronged strategy we can us to defeat world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism.

On this third anniversary of the Abraham Accords, we are reminded of the need to strengthen our partnerships in the face of increasing Iranian aggression.

Two years after our catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan the Taliban is rejoicing. The impact of Biden's decision is still being felt an our world is more dangerous.

To counter China, the U.S. must develop a strategy to assess gaps in our theater-range strike capabilities in the Indo-Pacific and the military requirements to close them.

Help inspire a new generation of heroes by honoring veterans like Marine Cpl. Daegan Page who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in Afghanistan.

President Biden broke his promises on getting Americans out of Afghanistan, serving justice to those who killed 13 U.S. service members, and protecting human rights.

His unprovoked war is causing untold misery and risks food and energy access for tens of millions of people across the globe.

In the almost two weeks since the Ukraine invasion begain, our response remains tepid, halfhearted, and impassive to the Russian bear clamping down on a free and independent partner.

First Afghanistan, now Ukraine. The Biden administration's touted return to diplomacy, supporting our allies and partners, has proven again to be empty words and false promises.

My heart sank as I watched the final plane depart from Kabul International Airport on August 30, 2021—the day President Joe Biden concluded our disastrous exit from Afghanistan.

September 11, 2001, rocked America to our core. On a day of such unexpected tragedy, our innocence was shattered; our perception of safety was erased; and, we were introduced to the unbridled hatred of al Qaeda’s terrorism. But from the ashes of the tragedy, America stood tall.

The news out of Afghanistan is grim. The Taliban are rapidly advancing across the country and are reportedly in the capital city. Huge swaths of Afghanistan are now controlled by Taliban fighters.

When an American president makes a decision on military deployment, the action sends signals to friends and foes alike around the globe.

I’ve worn many hats in my lifetime – as a farm girl growing up in a rural community, as a mother raising a daughter who has delighted me and made me proud, as a soldier at home and abroad, and now as a United States senator. But one identity has been the continuous line through everything else I’ve done –I am an Iowan, a daughter of the heartland.

Our nation’s flag – the American Flag – is a symbol of our strength, of our freedom, and of our shared values and common bond as fellow Americans.

There’s a crisis at our border whether President Biden says it or not.

Women have been among the hardest hit by the economic fallout from COVID-19, losing nearly 2.2 million jobs between February and November 2020.

The two Senate runoff elections in Georgia on Tuesday will determine the direction of our nation.

I see these two Senate elections in Georgia through the eyes of someone who served 23 years in the Army Reserves and National Guard.

Amy Coney Barrett has just become the first mother of school-aged children to serve on the Supreme Court, and I am proud to have voted to confirm her.

We are wrapping up a historic event in our nation: the Senate confirmation hearing for 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett for a seat on the Supreme Court. If confirmed, Judge Barrett would be the first mother of school-age children to serve on the high court.
