This holiday season there will be many homes across America with an empty seat – a seat typically filled by a service member who is abroad, or one who has made the ultimate sacrifice. On this America day, let's honor the sacrifice service members and families make.

After most of the year spent deliberating, I’m proud to say the Senate has passed the bipartisan FY23 NDAA and put our service members first. We secured many wins for not only our military, but for Oklahomans as well. I look forward to signing this into law.

Today, we look back on the 231 years of protection the Bill of Rights has guaranteed to all Americans. During my time in the Senate, I have always stood for the rights and freedoms that our Constitution protects and defends.

Since December 1636, the National Guard has remained "Always Ready, Always There." The dedication of the men and women who make up the National Guard is critical to the states they serve and to the nation they defend. Happy 386th birthday to the oldest component of our military!

One thing remains clear: we are in the most threatened position of my lifetime. Conservatives in OK and across the U.S. can be proud of what we secured in this year’s bill to protect our country and give our troops what they need to complete their mission.

I’ve said it many times—we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to China’s growing military might. The admin must be open and honest with the American people about the threat Beijing poses to global order and our way of life.

Democrats have changed the definition of a recession in order to avoid one. But the facts remain: our economy is declining, and Oklahomans have seen inflation outpace wage growth for 18 months, all thanks to out-of-control spending and failed policies from the Biden admin.

Iran's regime has long targeted Americans, Israelis and Arabs for murder.
Sadly, spent two years ignoring Iran's terrorism while offering the regime billions to return to a failed nuke agreement.
Why is he only recognizing Iran’s terrorism now?
Quote Tweet
Iran denies it, but the evidence is in plain sight: the UAVs they sold to Russia are being used against Ukrainian civilians. Iran’s leadership may have thought they could get away with helping Russia’s brutal aggression in secret. They could not. twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/s…

I’m pleased that confirmed what I’ve known from the start – the EPA’s decision to punish small refineries was unjust and based on bad economics. I join and in calling on the EPA to stop punishing energy producers and start following the law.

Many of our allies on the front lines with Russia give more aid to Ukraine pound-for-pound than the U.S. That's why we need to ramp up industrial capacity to refill our own weapons stocks, sell to allies to refill their own and sustain Ukraine victories.

For nearly two years, offered Iran massive sanctions relief to re-enter the failed 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which ignores Iran's terrorism and drone program.
That approach failed miserably – Iran is now helping Russia kill Ukrainians.

It is no coincidence that the administration released a controversial memo today for a policy that would not go into effect until months from now and misses the point of what the military should be focused on: defense.

Instead of threatening our energy security by raiding our reserves, this administration should reverse its destructive, Green New Deal-inspired energy policies that have caused record-high gas prices.
