Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo) sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin calling out the Biden Administration's prioritization of air and missile defense for Ukraine, while neglecting support for U.S. and Taiwanese forces in the Pacific. "The tradeoff between sending weapons to Ukraine and supporting U.S. forces and allies in the Pacific can no longer be denied [...] The Biden administration’s actions do not just place Taiwan at risk: these actions will endanger U.S. forces in the Pacific. Air and missile defenses are critical to protect U.S. forces from a potential Chinese attack," wrote Senator Hawley.

U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, denouncing the Justice Department's prosecution of Dr. Eithan Haim and requesting all documents related to the agency's investigation. President Biden's Justice Department indicted Dr. Haim after he blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital for secretly conducting illegal child sterilization surgeries in the name of transgender healthcare. "This prosecution is intended to silence Dr. Haim, deter future whistleblowers, and allow deception and medical malpractice to continue apace.

Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas condemning President Biden's latest plan to offer amnesty to potentially millions of illegal aliens in the United States.

"Amnesty for illegal aliens is absolutely unacceptable. It is a lure that will drive millions more illegal immigrants to flood across our southern border. It is a slap in the face to U.S. taxpayers. And it is totally unfair to immigrants who entered the U.S. legally," wrote Senator Hawley. He continued, "In the months to come, with Congress and the...
