The power to declare war belongs to Congress, not the president. These egregious killings are illegal and risk dragging America into war with Venezuela. Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop this reckless abuse of power before it’s too late.…
@SenJackReed Here's my full conversation with @SenJackReed
This Week on #FoxNewsSunday @ShannonBream is joined exclusively by @SenatorLankford and @SenJackReed.
I support strong law enforcement in our communities and always will, but Trump’s National Guard deployment to DC and federalization of city police is misguided, unsupported by the facts, & could endanger your rights & civil liberties.
Nearly 2 years into this war, Netanyahu's move to seize Gaza City risks worsening the humanitarian crisis, delaying hostage returns, and killing any chance of peace. Hamas is defeated militarily – now we need a ceasefire, diplomacy, and a two-state solution.
Israeli PM Netanyahu must change course in Gaza. The current humanitarian crisis is unconscionable. We’re calling for: -A ceasefire + release of hostages -Real humanitarian aid, with oversight -A plan to rebuild Gaza without Hamas -And more. Full statement:…
The #FY26NDAA is a strong, bipartisan bill that strengthens our military, restores key guardrails at DOD, and addresses real national security priorities. reed.senate.gov/news/releases/…
SASC began Markup of the FY26 NDAA with the Subcommittees on Airland, Seapower, Strategic Forces and Readiness today. The remaining subcommittees will continue this week followed by full committee Markup . armed-services.senate.gov/press-releases…
The Trump Admin. is unwise to prematurely insist Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated” without clear evidence. This exaggerated claim is unnecessary & could weaken our future credibility & leverage against Iran. Americans deserve facts, not bluster. nytimes.com/2025/06/26/us/…
Live at 9:30am: @SenJackReed leads @SASCDems in a hearing to assess the posture of the Department of the Defense. Witnesses: -Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth -Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine -Ms. Bryn MacDonnell, PTDO DOD Comptroller armed-services.senate.gov/hearings/to-re…
We need efficiency at the Dept. of Defense. But personnel decisions should be based on facts & analysis, not arbitrary percentages. Eliminating the positions of many of our most experienced officers without justification could cripple the military.
Sec. Hegseth doesn’t have the temperament or management skills to lead the Pentagon. And he’s proving that over & over.
The Women, Peace & Security Initiative contributes to U.S. national security. WPS was authored by then- Rep. Kristi Noem & championed by then-Sen. Marco Rubio. Trump signed it into law. Mr. Hegseth should do his homework. x.com/PeteHegseth/st…

Instead of listening to U.S. Cyber Command, Trump is listening to conspiracy theorists. He is making our country less safe.

After Sec. Hegseth jeopardized national security in the group chat, Trump WH tried to declare ‘case closed.’ I worked on bipartisan basis to ensure an independent investigation. Today, case opened: politico.com/news/2025/04/0…
Gen. Christopher Cavoli, commander of @US_EUCOM, and Gen. Michael Langley, commander of @USAfricaCommand, testify before @SASCGOP @SASCDems – LIVE online here: c-span.org/event/senate-c… #SASC
I voted for billions in border security funding because we must fix our broken immigration system. Those found guilty of violent or serious crimes are subject to deportation - that’s the law. A thread 🧵
This is a prudent step toward accountability. Secretary Hegseth, Mike Waltz, and President Trump must answer for this disturbing, dangerous incident. They must be truthful with the American people & not make the cover-up worse than the crime. nytimes.com/2025/03/27/us/…
