					<description><![CDATA[U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio painted Russia President Vladimir Putin Thursday as a tyrant who runs a brutal, corrupt, and repressive regime that murders opponents, seeks to destabilize western countries including the United States, perpetuates war crimes, and does not represent the Russian people. In doing so, Rubio called on the United States to stand up for the rights of Russians and do all it can to oppose Putin. &#8220;It&#8217;s not Putin&#8217;s Russia, it&#8217;s Russians&#8217; Russia,&#8221; Rubio said in a speech Thursday&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After a hearing on a humanitarian crisis with millions of lives at stake in northeast Africa, U.S. Rep. Marco Rubio joined a bipartisan group of senators Thursday asking Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to intervene by leading an &#8220;urgent and comprehensive&#8221; diplomatic effort. Rubio and eight other senators signed a letter Thursday to President Donald Trump&#8216;s secretary of state saying that political obstacles in northeastern Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen are significantly to blame for humanitarian aid from getting in, and consequently millions&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Latest on activities in Congress (all times EST): 12:25 p.m. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has overwhelmingly approved South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley&#8216;s nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. By voice vote, the panel recommended President Donald Trump&#8216;s selection of Haley to the full Senate. She is expected to be confirmed easily. Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the committee&#8217;s top Democrat, backed Haley&#8217;s nomination.
