.@SenJohnThune's election is a clear endorsement of a consummate leader. Senate Republicans stand behind him, ready to get to work. My full statement: republicanleader.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

I was proud to help return a Republican majority to the Senate, and thrilled to welcome some of the newest GOP senators to the Capitol this afternoon. I look forward to working with them for the American people.

Today, U.S. servicemembers are deployed around the globe, following the footsteps of generations whose service and sacrifice preserved the American experiment. Veterans Day is a reminder of the great debt we owe them. To veterans, servicemembers, and military families: thank you.

Iran sent hundreds of missiles at Israeli civilians. Israel's response targeted the engine of terror that equips Houthi attacks on U.S. vessels and Russian attacks on Ukraine. We must recognize what Israel already does: the objective is deterrence, not diplomacy for its own sake.

Yahya Sinwar was the mastermind of the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, and today, families shattered on October 7th have a small measure of justice. Israel has yet again demonstrated what it means to impose costs on adversaries, and America ought to take notes.

The federal judicial bureaucracy is on a crusade against so-called single-judge divisions – the sort of courts that rural litigants rely on, including in parts of Kentucky. It’s time for this interference to end. Read my op-ed in @NRO: nationalreview.com/2024/10/judici…

Today, as Americans and free people around the world remember the victims of October 7th and pray for peace, let us recommit to stand with Israel in its righteous fight.   My full statement: republicanleader.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

It is not enough to intercept missiles and drones moments before they reach civilians in Israel or U.S. personnel in the Red Sea. It is time for America to act like the friend of Israel we claim to be, and for Iran and its proxies to face severe consequences.   Full statement:…

For the attention of any of my colleagues who still want to send American tax dollars to UNRWA: wsj.com/world/middle-e…

Like Mugniyah and Soleimani before him, Hassan Nasrallah authored decades of terror and suffering across the Middle East. Israelis, Americans, Lebanese, and Syrians are safer without him on the battlefield. America should heed this reminder of what it means to impose costs and…

Chaos at the border. Steep prices at the grocery store. The Biden-Harris Administration owns the most serious policy shortcomings of the last four years.

After four years of weakness and retreat, providing for the common defense has never been more urgent. But weeks of partisan show votes have left the Senate too little time to debate the defense authorization bill and topline investments in hard power before November.

Every time Washington Democrats tie Israel’s hands in public comments, Hamas and Hizballah are emboldened. If our colleagues want peace, it’s time to show support for a nation founded on peace and resolve toward terrorists whose reason for existence is chaos and violence.

Late last night, Sheriff's Deputy Josh Phipps of Russell County, KY was killed in the line of duty. His sacrifice is a somber reminder of the debt we owe our courageous law enforcement officers. Elaine and I join the rest of the Commonwealth in sending our deepest sympathy to…

Very grateful President Trump is safe after another attempted assassination attempt. There is no place for political violence in our country, and those responsible for it must be held to account. I hope and expect USSS and the FBI will conduct a thorough, swift, and transparent…

Twenty-three years ago today, terrorists ended 2,977 innocent lives in an act of staggering cruelty. From the rubble, our nation rose to rebuild, to care for the grieving, to pay tribute to heroes who ran toward danger, and to bring murderers to justice. We will never forget.

Glad to see @evangershkovich safe on American soil and welcome him to the Capitol. Journalism is not a crime, and reporters will continue to pursue the truth and hold the Kremlin to account for its brutality.

Congress returns with unfinished business on national defense. In the face of growing threats, further delays in passing the NDAA and constraints on robust topline investments in American strength are dangerous. Our adversaries are emboldened by our weakness and hesitation.

Heartbroken by news of Hersh Goldberg-Polin's death at the hands of Hamas. The savages who killed this U.S. citizen and continue to hold others hostage must pay a heavy price. Israel should finish the job to end this Iran-backed terror, and America must support this effort…

Three years ago, 13 U.S. service members were killed by savage terrorists at Abbey Gate in Kabul. The grief of their loss is no less painful today, and a grateful nation will never forget these heroes’ sacrifice.
