• 31 October 2021: We all want to be good stewards of the world God gave us, but we also want to know how am we are going to be able to feed our families & how are we going to pay for the increased cost on energy. pic.twitter.com/261oOEEEUY
• 28 October 2021: As Biden & European leaders gather to drink champagne & eat caviar—we here at home are paying more than a $1 a gallon for gasoline & the cost to heat our homes is dramatically increasing. Oklahomans are paying the price for Biden’s policies. pic.twitter.com/NqkiXi6MEg
• 20 October 2021: I strongly opposed Schumer’s 2nd attempt to takeover our state’s election process with the partisan “Freedom to Vote Act.” Dems may have changed the name of the bill, but the American people will not be fooled by their continued attempt to maintain power. pic.twitter.com/olLEMR8qEq
• 19 October 2021: Oklahomans are more than capable of deciding if the vaccine is best for them & their families w/o mandates from the fed. gov.

• 8 October 2021: #ICYMI pic.twitter.com/lYgsqDpPkQ
• 8 October 2021: The Sept. jobs report confirms what we already know—Biden’s policies don’t work. Instead of trying to spend trillions creating new entitlements, disincentivizing work & promoting cradle to grave welfare, Biden should focus on policies that help American families grow our economy https://twitter.com/FoxBusiness/status/1446520776320950274

• 24 September 2021: Democrats want to take that away by ramming their radical pro-abortion bill in the House today. Abortion is not healthcare. Healthcare should be about protecting life, it doesn’t take not taking it away.
• 24 September 2021 (live): Every life—born or unborn—is valuable. States have the right and responsibility to defend the sanctity of life and protect the unborn. The abortion on demand act would force every state – including Oklahoma – to allow late-term abortion for any reason.
• 10 September 2021: Biden’s policies are failing Oklahomans. He refuses to close the border. He’s on track for massive record spending. He has harmed US oil independence while promoting Russia. He is the most pro-abortion President in US history.
• 11 August 2021: Just because they’re smaller people, doesn’t mean they should be any less protected by law. Thank you to my colleagues who stood with me to tonight to ensure no taxpayer dollars fund abortions. #Prolife #HydeSavesLives pic.twitter.com/Qj7TanSslN
• 5 August 2021: The infrastructure bill is Biden’s attempt to be “historic”— Don’t kid yourself when they keep talking about a CBO score & $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill is already paid for. It’s not paid for. pic.twitter.com/e7vcP5zROb
• 19 July 2021: The men & women serving our nation shouldn't be forced to embrace discriminatory, divisive ideas.

• 14 July 2021: Anyone buying a house, a car, gas, or bacon are feeling the high prices. It’s being felt by families across my state and it’s all because Democrats love to spend. Republicans warned in February this would happen & Dems ignored it. pic.twitter.com/OkLXAYnsIA
• 12 July 2021: Communism destroys freedom- American freedom protects speech, religion & every human life. America must stand with the Cuban people. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democratic-socialists-ignore-cuban-protesters-railing-against-communist-dictatorship
• 12 July 2021 (live): For years, some in Washington have celebrated Cuban communism. The Cuban people are currently risking their lives to show how communist policies & propaganda cause real suffering.
• 12 July 2021: I want to prohibit funding that forces critical race theory on US servicemembers. We should & must teach the history of nation to work toward racial reconciliation, but critical race theory is not the solution. 👇👇 https://www.lankford.senate.gov/news/press-releases/lankford-wants-to-prohibit-all-spending-on-critical-race-theory-training-in-the-military

He joined me to discuss the conflict, history, & how we continue to work toward peace. http://www.lankford.senate.gov/news/podcast
• 14 May 2021: It isn’t controversial to ask people to verify their identity to vote. In Oklahoma that can be a drivers license, a library card, or a utility bill. Whatever it takes. Oklahomans want safe, fair elections. For the Politicians Act makes it easy to cheat. pic.twitter.com/yiObxgMwmr

• 26 March 2021: I was out with Border Patrol last night in McAllen, TX. There's no question the border is OPEN. America welcomes legal immigrants from all over the world, but this out of control illegal immigration. This has to stop now. pic.twitter.com/M1PtNYONa2

• 18 February 2021: (1/2) US law is clear— Turkey cannot participate in the F-35 program as long as they possess the S-400.

• 9 February 2021: I was shocked when the Biden Administration reversed an Executive Order allowing small business owners to easily find federal requirements for each agency in one spot. That’s not partisan, it’s a good idea & I assume it was reversed is bc President Trump’s name is on it. pic.twitter.com/Q2Ni13gHTX

• 11 December 2020: Religious freedom—the right to choose a faith, change your faith or have no faith at all—is a fundamental human right that must be protected for all people.
• 11 December 2020: The Senate should adopt my bipartisan resolution condemning blasphemy laws around the world.

• 28 October 2020: Congrats @USAmbFriedman & @realdonaldtrump on moving to allow diverse investment in economic development in the West Bank.

• 14 October 2020: Democrats have spent the past two days trying to make America afraid of Judge #AmyConeyBarrett . Judge Barrett is an impartial, independent jurist & a mother of 7. Not someone trying to steal your healthcare, outlaw abortion, & overturn segregation like Democrats are saying. pic.twitter.com/JqdovHkMxy
• 14 October 2020: Turkey keeps tearing their Russian S-400 missile system. NATO allies should behave like allies & must be held accountable when they don’t. Sanctions for S-400 purchases should be implemented as reports continue to surface of Turkey’s active use w/ no intentions to reverse course.
• 12 October 2020: Everyone should watch Amy Coney Barrett’s opening statement where she introduces herself and gives her judicial philosophy- Dont let people spin who she is, actually listen to her in her own words. https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1315721381406019585
• 12 October 2020: Judicial confirmation hearings are meant to review a nominee’s qualifications & his or her ability to be an impartial jurist. The court is about the law, judges do not make policy. Trying to bully Judge Barrett or putting words in her mouth is unfair for any nominee.
• 12 October 2020: Not a single Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee discussed Judge Barrett’s qualifications in their opening statements. Instead they focused on criticizing @realdonaldtrump & trying to make Americans afraid of Amy Comey Barrett.
• 9 October 2020: Now they are already laying the ground work for a 25th Amendment challenge when Trump wins again - they reject peaceful transitions of power yet say @realDonaldTrump refuses.
• 9 October 2020: Democrats continue to talk about peaceful transition of power, but since @realDonaldTrump was elected they wasted tax dollars on a Russia investigation that turned out to be nothing, then impeached the President as soon as they took the House. https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1314571678668685313

• 10 September 2020: Senate Dems said the targeted #COVID19 bill wasn't enough. There is nothing 'skinny' about a $3.5 BILLION piece of legislation, not even considering the $3 trillion we've already spent. We shouldn't continue spending money just because we can, we have to focus on what's needed. pic.twitter.com/jHQzuhxARs
• 27 August 2020: I’ll work w/ @realdonaldtrump & the admin to ensure immediate action is taken to hold the communist Chinese government and responsible officials accountable.
• 27 August 2020: Heartbroken and deeply disturbed by recent reports that communist #China is aborting late-stage & killing newborn Uyghur babies.
