If only the Biden administration would send ammo to Ukrainians as fast as they have given it to skeptics of the cause. “Win” and “victory” must be our position, and added to their vocabulary.

"I am proposing an alternate path that would equip our armed forces for a rapidly changing world. Americans — including President Biden — need to start thinking differently about our sense of safety." ICYMI: My op-ed this week on the president's budget.

Hamas reminded the world of its cruelty by airing this hostage video. They must release the five American hostages — and dozens of Israelis — who continue to languish in captivity in Gaza.

JUST PUB'D: Despite the time and political capital spent on the $60 billion aid for Ukraine, some Biden administration officials are skeptical it’s enough for Ukraine to win its two-year war with Russia.

There is no reason to think the challenge is limited to the skies over Iraq and Israel; it could threaten the United States, and fast. That means U.S. policymakers have no time to spare in generating a better blueprint for defenses against drones. ICYMI this joint op-ed.

"As Iran’s attack on Israel proved, our adversaries see drones as an inexpensive, deadly solution to penetrate the most sophisticated layered air defenses," @SenJackReed and @SenatorWicker write.

These strikes proved – once again – that Ukraine can notch battlefield victories when given the right tools. Imagine if they had these missiles two years ago.

I championed and led the negotiations for the $3.3 billion in Submarine Industrial Base funding that was included in the national security supplemental. It just became law. This is a major win. I discussed this funding and more before the vote with @JoeKhalilTV @NewsNation

I voted to divest the ownership of TikTok from ByteDance. The bill does not ban TikTok. The platform would still remain available to users, provided it is purchased by a company not based in China nor more than 20% owned by Chinese persons. More info:

The @SeabeeCenter have often put themselves into dire situations, whether assisting with natural disaster recovery or humanitarian missions across the globe. Our country and world are better off because of them.

For the fourth year in a row, POTUS’ proposal has amounted to a cut in military investment. He may try to blame 2023’s Fiscal Responsibility Act for this choice, but that ignores the fact that his non-defense spending proposal exceeded that law’s cap anyway by $76 billion.

Last year, Americans watched, transfixed, as a Chinese spy balloon the size of several school buses made its way across the U.S. before it was shot down by the Air Force off the coast of SC. This highly public event turned out to be the tip of an increasingly large iceberg.

Militarized drones pose a growing threat to U.S. national security and our forces overseas. In a @washingtonpost op-ed, @SenatorWicker and I examine the problem and recommend several pathways to ensure the safety of America’s skies. Read our piece:
