Proud to announce the completion of the 60th Annual National Defense Authorization Act — a bill that champions our troops, supports our military families, and strengthens our national defense. #FY21NDAA
There’s nothing else on Capitol Hill that has gotten done for 60 years straight. That’s because this bill is the most important thing we’ll do all year. Here's what the #FY21NDAA does to secure our nation today and defend tomorrow: armed-services.senate.gov/download/fy21-…
I extend my gratitude to @SenJackReed, @RepAdamSmith, and @MacTXPress for working with me to complete this conference agreement. While we have not agreed on everything, the’re’s one thing we have agreed on: We need to get this done.
I’m proud to name this year’s #NDAA after Congressman Thornberry, who is retiring. Thank you, Congressman, for your service and unwavering dedication to our troops. @MacTXPress

Today’s @SASCMajority hearing on the NNSA budget was an important one. What we heard from our witnesses was serious: U.S. nuclear forces are long overdue for a major overhaul. Facilities are crumbling, weapons are becoming obsolete, and we’re falling behind China and Russia. Image
I asked our witnesses to describe just why it’s so important that the federal agencies charged with protecting our nuclear deterrent work together. It’s a matter of responsibility to our taxpayers — and it’s a grave matter of national security.
Unfortunately there are policy proposals coming from House Dems & unelected bureaucrats that would do just the opposite. As Secretary Lord told us, it would make our system less efficient, directly impair our ability to deliver key weapons systems & create a lot more bureaucracy.

The 1033 program allows @DeptofDefense to transfer surplus equipment – like vehicles, boots, computers, and more – to federal, state and local law enforcement. This equipment is always demilitarized to be appropriate for public safety use.
For years, local law enforcement agencies have been asked to do more with less, and now, as they face liberal calls to defund the police, we need to be continuing this transparent, responsible program.
I am offering an amendment to the #FY21NDAA that improves the 1033 program by prohibiting the transfer of weapons that law enforcement can’t & shouldn't use, like weaponized drones & lethal grenades, and by training officers in de-escalation & protecting constitutional rights.

Like everyone else, I am horrified and saddened by the killing of George Floyd. I await the results of all investigations, state and federal, and for anyone responsible to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law...
This wknd, 1000s of Oklahomans joined the nation by engaging in meaningful demonstrations in support of justice &reform. Your voices are heard. We each have a responsibility to do more to stand up against injustice &to treat everyone as our brothers &sisters, as Christ calls us..
Sadly, the actions of a few have attempted to turn the meaningful protests into destructive and dangerous activity that has nothing to do with the aims of the peaceful demonstrations...

Since 2017, China has blocked Taiwan from participating in the World Health Organization. That is unacceptable—and as we look at the global response to the coronavirus pandemic, China’s diplomatic bullying is even more egregious.
While China failed to warn the public about the pandemic, silenced doctors, rebuffed efforts for an independent inquiry and hoarded medical supplies, Taiwan has been a strong partner in public health.
Taiwan has donated countless medical supplies around the world, including the U.S., and has been a leader in treatment, research and information sharing. Keeping them out of WHO, especially at the request of China, as the world grapples with a global pandemic cannot stand.

.@SenDanSullivan, @SenKevinCramer and I spoke with @SecretaryRoss recently – Saudi Arabia and Russia’s continued dumping of crude is having lasting and damaging effects on American energy producers.
This is intentional – Russia and Saudi Arabia are tired of competing with us and want to put American oil and gas producers out of business so they can once again dictate energy prices to the world.
The consequences are significant – thousands of jobs and millions in capital investment have been lost to these foreign market manipulations.
