It’s the same report year AFTER YEAR. And there’s another group that does the same thing. Iran hasn’t changed. Why even bother.

If that’s the case, report is the same year after year, then why did they not deliver it in Feb. like they were supposed to? If you are talking about the Defense Dept. report on Iranian military capabilities report, then they are two different reports. The State Dept. report is about Iran’s human rights.

What the report demonstrates is that Iran has only increased its sponsorship of terrorism and funding of terrorist groups. Given that the Obama administration has lifted sanctions, giving billions to Iran, they were reluctant to release how that money is being spend.

Every important win for acted.

“Plus, didn’t Cruz vote for the trade bill?”

Rubio was the deciding vote. Ted ended up voting against.

But then again, maybe you’d rather have Jeb?

Nope

He had supported TPA earlier, but he voted against it.
