Thank you @SenatorWicker. I am excited to continue working for our Sailors and Marines. I look forward to the confirmation process.
Now more than ever, we need the U.S. Navy to be the most effective maritime force in the world. Today, I had a productive discussion with Acting @SECNAV Hung Cao on the challenges facing our Sailors and Marines around the world. I look forward to working with him as we continue to strengthen our capabilities.

It was great to welcome German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius to the Senate today for a productive discussion. Our German partners have stepped up to increase defense spending and ramp up industrial base capabilities. This is exactly the kind of investment NATO needs at this moment. Any changes to our force posture in the region must be focused on successful deterrence against Russian aggression.

Big news for America’s defense startups: a SCIF in every state. The 2025 reconciliation bill provided funds to help the Pentagon build shared Secure Compartmented Information Facilities for the industrial base. @SASCGOP and @HASCRepublicans commend the Department for moving quickly to put these funds to work for American innovation and national security.

Investing in our national defense not only keeps us safe, but also creates jobs for Arkansans.
Camden is the prime example.

Putin’s failures in Ukraine have driven him to unprecedented aggression against NATO allies. This is deliberate escalation — an attempt to coerce NATO into abandoning Ukraine. It won’t work. Discussions about our force posture review in Europe must account for a wounded Putin lashing out.

Chairman Wicker Applauds Passage of Russia Sanctions bill Championed by Sen. Lindsey Graham:
“This sanctions bill will help save lives. It will make peace in Europe more likely,” said Senator Wicker. “I knew Senator Graham for 32 years. He was an accomplished lawmaker, but I can say clearly that this was his most profound achievement. By passing this bill, we salute his memory and continue the work he left us.”

Lindsey knew that strength produces peace and prosperity, and he believed the United States is the greatest force for freedom that mankind has ever known. Through every bill he introduced, every speech he gave, every statement he made, Lindsey ensured our allies knew our word was good and our enemies feared our resolve. Today, with the passage of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, we honor his legacy and send a clear message to our allies and enemies alike: the United States will defend freedom around the world.

WATCH: @TimSheehyMT:
"We did not start a war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They started with it us 47 years ago, and their attacks have gone unanswered for half a century. It's time to fix this problem and make sure another generation of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary."

Democrats like @SenSchumer are playing politics with our nuclear deterrence while pretending to care about saving taxpayer dollars.
At least be honest: Your bill would harm presidential safety in the event of a nuclear war.
Get a grip.
I just asked for unanimous consent on my Presidential Airlift Security Act, which would BAN taxpayer dollars from being used on Trump’s luxury, foreign-gifted jet.
@SenatorFischer objected because the GOP wants your money to go to Trump’s vanity projects.

Honored to meet with the Jordanian Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Maj. Gen. Yousef Al-Huneiti for a substantive conversation, together with Senator Reed. The U.S. and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan continue to build an enduring strategic partnership — and the American military is stronger for it.

Reconciliation 1.0 included a historic investment in maritime drones to jump-start the industry. Saronic and many other great companies are bringing even more private capital to bear.
We must keep working to reindustrialize America, create jobs, and modernize the American arsenal. America’s warfighters deserve nothing less.
Today, we're proud to announce the future home of Port Alpha: Brownsville, Texas.
Our next-generation shipyard moves from vision to reality through a planned investment of more than $3 billion to establish one of the world's most advanced shipyards, built for software-defined shipbuilding and autonomous maritime systems.
Port Alpha is expected to generate more than $160 billion in regional economic impact for Cameron County and $264.5 billion for the State of Texas, while creating up to 10,000 direct jobs — which makes it one of the largest economic development projects in modern Texas history.
More than a shipyard, Port Alpha represents a new model for American shipbuilding — combining advanced manufacturing, software-defined production, and autonomy at unprecedented scale. We're proud to continue building in Texas.

Dems will oppose even having a debate on the NDAA, a bill that has passed w/ bipartisan support every year for 60+ yrs.
They'll vote against a 3.6% pay raise for troops and investments in education, housing, health care, & child care.
Today's vote follows an unfortunate trend.
Schumer declares on the floor that he's a "strong no" vote on NDAA today, strongest sign yet that Dems will likely block debate on the defense bill.
Without measures to rein Trump in on Iran, Schumer says the $1.15T bill amounts to a "permission slip" for the admin.
