U.S. Senate

To the legislators taking their seats in January: The employers in your districts are not asking you to solve everything at once. They are asking you to keep moving.

We need to make sure that no child feels controlled or defeated by the system that is supposed to deliver them justice.

TREY’S Law will protect, defend, and support children who are victims of sexual assault.

As legislators, as parents, and as human beings, we have a moral obligation to stand between children and those who would harm them.

No child who has endured sexual abuse should be forced to carry that horror in silence.

And I’m proud to stand here today seeing that become reality.

I thank and applaud President Trump for signing the bill into law.

I was proud to support this legislation, advance it through the Senate Commerce Committee, and help secure its passage in the Senate.

The Mystic Alerts Act strengthens our emergency alert systems, will help ensure life-saving alerts reach Americans when and where they need them, and will help protect American families and communities when future disasters strike.

I will continue working alongside President Trump to ensure Mexico fulfills its obligations and that Texas farmers receive the reliable and predictable water supplies they need.

Mexico failed to meet its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty for years under Joe Biden, wrongly denying Texas farmers and communities reliable and sufficient water.

This nearly $24 million federal grant for the Texoma Semiconductor Tech Hub will strengthen American semiconductor production, create Texas jobs, and ensure America remains the global leader in technological innovation.

Texas is the best place in America to innovate, manufacture, and create jobs.

As a Christian and the co-chairman of the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism, it is my mission to work for justice for all people.

How we talk about antisemitism matters for the next generation.

We are now living in the world of Oct. 8, where antisemitism is growing, and antisemitic incidents involving harassment, assault, and vandalism are more frequent now than they were before Oct. 7, 2023.

Hatred isn’t new for the Jewish people. For thousands of years, they have suffered racism, slavery, and genocide.

I will continue to make time to visit with first responders around our state to personally thank them for their service.

Oklahoma first responders are some of the most highly tested professionals in our nation.

First responders are some of the most valued members of every community in our nation, and today we honor first responders and their heroic daily tasks.

We strongly oppose any effort to allow the shipment of marijuana.

Reminder: clocks fall back Sunday. Alarm clocks change. Babies’ clocks don’t. Every mom and dad of young kids knows it. Time to stop the twice-a-year reset. Lock the clock.

I call on the U.S. Senate to cancel August recess and stay in session to confirm President Trump’s nominees.

The Democrats are now anti-American. Sad!
