We owe a debt of gratitude to Sue Gordon for her decades of public service in the intelligence community. Her dedication to preparing the community for the future as well as her candor and insights will be missed. — PolitiTweet.org

The US & our NATO allies are unified in the conviction that Russia bears sole responsibility for the end of the #INFTreaty. Today marks the end of 1 treaty, but it does not mark the end of arms control or nonproliferation efforts. https://t.co/QtsJDZS72f — PolitiTweet.org

This class of interns went above and beyond their duties as interns to serve Idaho and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this summer. I’m grateful for their outstanding work and I have full faith they will accomplish anything they set their minds to. Thank you and good luck. https://t.co/94zLZJngXP — PolitiTweet.org

A one-size-fits-all approach to land management does not work, and I am pleased the Forest Service is rolling back this federal overreach and taking into account the needs of the species, wildlife managers, and local communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Congratulations to @EmpireAirInc of Hayden for being named Idaho #SmallBiz of the Month. The entire Empire family shows how one big idea and a dedication to hard work can lead to small business success. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Amb. Kelly Craft who was just confirmed to be our next US Ambassador to the UN! She will represent the US well in New York at @USUN. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, @RepRussFulcher and I introduced a bill to streamline the discovery and permitting process for geothermal energy projects. This clean, low-cost resource is rich in Idaho and across the West, and our bill will cut red tape to unleash geothermal's enormous potential. — PolitiTweet.org

Director Dan Coats has been a great leader of our intelligence community from his time in the Senate to now, and I thank him for his many decades of steadfast service to our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is National Day of the American Cowboy. Cowboys represent the best of the American West with their hard work, courage, integrity, and grit. Here’s to all the cowboys and cowgirls across #Idaho. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to my good friend @SenatorCardin, he is a great leader and advocate on these very important issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Very concerned about reports of indiscriminate airstrikes by the Assad regime and its Russian backers, which have killed scores of civilians in northwest Syria. This escalation is unacceptable and a clear violation of Russia’s ceasefire agreement and international norms. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Proud to support Amb. Kelly Craft’s nomination to be US Ambassador to the UN—she was reported out of @senateforeign 15-7. Looking forward to a quick confirmation vote for her on the Senate floor next week. https://t.co/ieUC6M4QAF — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Thanks to @GovernorLittle for stopping by my office yesterday. We had a great discussion about Idaho initiatives we're working on at the state and federal levels, and from one (former) governor to another, I can confirm he's doing an excellent job. https://t.co/ae1NMFlNLm — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

It’s #NationalLabDay on Capitol Hill. Appreciated catching up with ⁦@INL⁩ Director Mark Peters and talking about the extraordinary work the INL is doing as the nation’s lead laboratory for nuclear and cyber security research. https://t.co/THLj2OtJ3d — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Mark Esper has a history of solid and steady leadership, and is highly regarded by Republicans and Democrats alike. @EsperDoD is more than qualified for the post of Secretary of Defense, and I congratulate him on his well-deserved confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

I’ve been proud to be a part of the effort to bring a women’s business center back to Idaho. The new Idaho Women’s Business Center will provide female entrepreneurs across the state with the resources they need to make their businesses thrive. https://t.co/iheeRIjEc2 — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @EnergyGOP's Subcommittee on Water & Power for holding a hearing yesterday on my aquifer recharge bill to benefit Idaho’s water users & restore western aquifers to healthy levels. — PolitiTweet.org

Vicki and I are wishing @SenatorIsakson a swift and full recovery. Anyone who knows Johnny will tell you he’s a fighter, and I look forward to having him back in fighting condition at @SenateForeign very soon! — PolitiTweet.org

.@CBSThisMorning ran a wonderful piece this AM on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s hearing coordinator, Bertie Bowman. Bertie is an institution in & of himself & the SFRC is made better by his decades of steady leadership. https://t.co/K7JMD54tWz — PolitiTweet.org

Hunting & shooting sports are woven into the fabric of Idaho’s history. Today I introduced bipartisan legislation to update the Pittman-Robertson Fund to ensure future generations can carry on this treasured pastime while conserving wildlife. https://t.co/ScSQcbrL9u — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

There needs to be a change in Saudi conduct going forward. My bipartisan bill will address the tensions between our nations & aims to change their conduct. This would have a very real impact at a time when there are many ideas, but few plans. https://t.co/wbzvbNoHIX — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Risch @SenatorRisch

Had a great conversation with Richard Gere about freedom of religion, Tibet, and foreign policy challenges in the world. Impressed with his commitment to the issue and his aspiration for the world to understand what’s happening in this region. https://t.co/OuksRC4eE0 — PolitiTweet.org
