House Republicans Urge Obama to Take Hard Stance Against Russia

Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee sent an open letter to President Obama on Wednesday urging him to share new intelligence of Russian troop movements with the Ukrainian government.

The congressmen said they are "gravely concerned about the aggressive posture of Russian forces along the eastern border of Ukraine."

"There is deep apprehension that Moscow may invade eastern and southern Ukraine, pressing west to Transdniestria, and also seek land grabs in the Baltics," the letter reads, citing both classified and unclassified reports.

The letter also urges Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to "increase and enhance the alert posture and readiness of U.S. military forces in the region, and pursue additional measures to bolster the security of our eastern and central European allies and partners."

A separate letter containing classified intelligence was also sent to the White House on Wednesday.

"Russia's war on Ukraine has already started. It is time to stop speculating about possibility, and start dealing with reality," read a statement from Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

Reps. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, Randy Forbes, R-Va., Joe Wilson, R-S.C., Michael Turner, R-Ohio, Mike Rogers, R-Ala., Rob Wittman, R-Va., and Joe Heck, R-Nev., signed the letter along with McKeon.

Republicans: Braley disses farmers, Grassley

Democratic Senate hopeful Bruce Braley apologized Tuesday for comments at a fundraiser at a Texas law firm in which he said if Republicans took control of the Senate, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, would chair the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Republicans pounced on the remarks, which were contained in a video posted by America Rising, a conservative political action committee.

The group said the video was shot at a fundraiser at a law firm in Corpus Christi. The event was in January.

Braley, a Democrat from Waterloo who is a lawyer, said in the video the 2014 election represented a stark contrast.

If you help me win this race, you may have someone with your background, your experience, your voice, someone whos been literally fighting tort reform for 30 years in a visible and public way on the Senate Judiciary Committee or you might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law, serving as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Because if Democrats lose the majority, Chuck Grassley will be the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Republicans criticized Braley, saying he not only had denigrated Grassley but also farmers. Senate GOP hopeful Mark Jacobs called the remarks offensive.

Bruce Braleys ignorant remarks are yet another reminder that he only aims to serve one group: trial lawyers nationwide; not Iowans, Jacobs said in a statement shortly after noon.

Within an hour of his statement, a conservative advocacy group in the state, a representative of the Republicans campaign arm in the U.S. Senate and the re-election campaign for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad had all responded to the comments with emails and social media, criticizing Braley and amplifying his statement.

Joni Ernst, a GOP Senate candidate, said:

As an Iowa farm girl myself, I find it amusing that Braley thinks what Iowans need is yet another trial lawyer or outside Texas influences what we need are simply more good old Iowa values, she said.
