The threat from Iran is not hypothetical. They intend to do our citizens harm. I look forward to having Jay Clayton’s expertise in handling terrorism cases as Director of National Intelligence in t...

36 states have voter ID. Only 14 don’t. The vast majority of Americans see no issue with showing ID to vote. This should not be unreasonable.

AN EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE ON THE SENATE FLOOR

This afternoon, we welcome Lindsey’s sister, Darline, to the Senate. It will be an emotional day. We continue to pray for her, her family, and Sen. Graham’s staff.

IRAQ PARTNERSHIP REMAINS CRITICAL @senatorlankford says continued cooperation with Iraq is key to U.S. security and maintaining pressure on Iran.

President Trump is the first president that has had the guts to push back against Iran. Other presidents have said it. This president has actually enforced it.

We begin this week mourning our friend and colleague, Lindsey Graham. We look forward to welcoming his sister, Darline, as she carries on his legacy. There is still a lot happening in the Senate: a...

Today I prayed on the Senate floor for Lindsey Graham’s family, friends, his staff, and the people of South Carolina. God is near to the brokenhearted. As we grieve, I pray we grieve together and g...

Lindsey Graham was a true American who loved the people around him. This is a moment in time to reflect because you never know when your soul will be required of you. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ...

The International Finals Youth Rodeo returns to Shawnee next week, and the city is buzzing! Great to catch up with Pottawatomie County leaders and visit with the Shawnee and Tecumseh Chambers of Co...

Great to visit with folks in Cherokee, Alva, and Watonga this week. It was good to get an update on things in Northwest Oklahoma and answer questions about the work in Washington.

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Diamondback ICE detention facility near Watonga, Oklahoma. It is a well-run facility with an exceptional staff working every day to carry out American law ...

Great to be on Route 66 today in Arcadia. As the Mother Road turns 100 later this year, I hope you get a chance to check out some of the historic stops right here in Oklahoma.

America was founded on an extraordinary experiment in freedom. Two hundred fifty years later, we’re still proving that liberty works. I’m grateful for those who risked everything so future generati...

You cannot talk about America’s 250th birthday without talking about Benjamin Franklin. Without him, the Declaration and our country’s founding would have been vastly different. Here’s his story.

As we celebrate the one-year anniversary of @potus signing the Working Families Tax Cuts Act into law, it’s great to hear how it is benefiting Oklahoma families and businesses. Over the past year, ...

As America celebrates its 250th birthday this weekend, here’s the story of June 28, 1776, when Thomas Jefferson and the Committee of Five presented their draft of the Declaration of Independence.

Iran would like nothing more than for the United States to withdraw all troops and remove all pressure immediately. We cannot tie one hand behind President Trump’s back as he works to negotiate an ...

I brought my Conscience Protection Act to the Senate floor. This bill protects our healthcare workers undeniable conscience rights from being forced to participate in abortions. Democrats blocked it.

On this fourth anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we are still asking the question: are children valuable or disposable? I believe every child is valuable.
