What is border security? recently defined it as “maximizing the resources that we have available to us to deliver the most effective results.” The question is simple, yet this definition is vague & concerning.🧵

In Arizona, 160 Indigenous women and girls were known to be murdered between 1976 - 2018. That number doesn't account for those that are missing or are unreported. On Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women's Day, we recommit ourselves to ending this #SilentCrisis. #MMIW

Jumping into this fight was an easy decision. Our Navy should be focused on protecting Americans and saving lives--time to throw out this woke nonsense.

The Navy’s decision to use drag queens as a recruitment tool is outrageous and a disgrace to those who have previously served. That's exactly why earlier today, I led my colleagues in a letter to DoD officials demanding answers. 👇👇👇 foxnews.com/politics/navy-

In the FY2024 budget, I requested $3,000,000 to update the Fifth Avenue Committee Center for Community Development. The Center is instrumental to helping community members thrive and succeed, and these funds will ensure that their efforts will continue their positive impact.

Over half of Oregon’s economy depends on our small businesses. Many were hit hard during the pandemic. To support our workers and small businesses, I strongly support funding childcare and reducing unnecessary barriers to entry.

In 2021, tens of thousands of Oregonians were forced to delay health care due to high costs – and Oregonians of color faced even greater economic barriers to access. No one should have to put their health on hold because they can't afford care.

. and I are backing law enforcement with a new congressional resolution. It’s unconscionable to see pro-crime Democrats attempt to restrict, and in many cases, abolish these necessary agencies amid Biden’s crime wave.

We need to be providing our Ukrainian allies with proper defense capabilities to help them prevail against Russia’s brutal aggression – and that includes F-16s. I’m working with my colleagues, both Republicans and Democrats, to make it happen.

Title 42 ends in 6 days and we are already seeing images of complete chaos at the border. It’s obvious Secretary Mayorkas doesn’t have a plan to stop the surge. It’s time to work with House Republicans to return order to the border.

Competition policy — like cracking down on junk fees and banning unfair noncompete clauses — lowers costs and empowers workers. Powerfully important speech by Lael Brainard demonstrating that the Biden administration's efforts to enforce antitrust laws is just getting started.

In tribal communities, American Indian women face murder rates more than 10 times the national average. It’s important to raise awareness to this issue, and a resolution I cosponsored designates today National Day of Awareness of Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls.

I adamantly oppose this administration’s approval of one fossil fuel project after another. Not only do these approvals slow the transition to renewable energy, they undermine our moral authority with the rest of the world.

A couple days ago I released a report that showed how tough it is for working families to make ends meet in #NC13. Now I want to hear from you. What cost is worrying you the most when you look at your family’s budget?

The American people need to understand this: While we were having meetings for WEEKS to craft a commonsense solution to the debt limit the White House opposed negotiation & Schumer refused to draft his own solution. Democrats need to publish their plan so negotiation can ensue.

We need to remember exactly who the Democrats are. They would have loved to put all of us in jail. They want to fundamentally change America. Republicans should never forget the enemy we are dealing with. You can’t work with Communists.

Today's job headline covers up the fact that job creation earlier this year was far weaker than originally projected. More evidence that President Biden's agenda of sending billions in "green" energy tax breaks to Chinese companies isn't helping Main Street.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The senator from Alabama's unprecedented hold on all flag officer promotions harms our national security. Now, a bipartisan group of former defense secretaries is sounding the alarm.
