China’s continued retaliation against innocent Canadian citizens again shows their disregard for rule of law. I remain deeply concerned about the welfare of Mr. Kovrig & Mr. Spavor & urge the Chinese government to release them immediately- we will continue to follow this closely. — PolitiTweet.org

Great news! On Friday @POTUS signed the Target Practice & Marksmanship Training Support Act to build & maintain shooting ranges. I’ve cosponsored this bill since 2009 & am glad the next generation of sportsmen will continue to take part in one of Idaho’s most treasured pastimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke w/ @BloombergTV about #Venezuela -- Maduro needs to find an exit ramp for his own wellbeing, for the good of Venezuela & for the good of the Western Hemisphere. Also discussed sanctions in #Iran, #MuslimBrotherhood, and my work on Intel Committee. https://t.co/WHjh3K8gpE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Lugar was a truly good man and colleague. A former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he made the world a safer place with his efforts on nuclear nonproliferation. Dick and his family are in Vicki’s and my thoughts and prayers. — PolitiTweet.org
