Markwayne Mullin

As a kid from Westville, it has been the greatest honor and privilege to serve the people of Oklahoma for the past thirteen years in both the House and Senate. I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump’s mission alongside the department’s many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day. President Trump ran on restoring law and order, and he quickly delivered the most secure U.S. border in American history. I look forward to supporting @POTUS’ mission to safeguard the American people and defend the homeland.

.@StateDeputySpox: "Over 20,000 Americans have been able to return to the United States since this began, including the provision of direct assistance to nearly 10,000 by our 24/7 task force." Americans in the Middle East who need consular assistance should call +1-202-501-4444

Update from the @StateDept on protecting American citizens in the Middle East

Good time to clarify: There are TWO "Mullin" names in Congress. Myself in the U.S. Senate, and a California Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Same last name-- very different records.

What’s the War Powers Resolution? ⬇️

Any American in the Middle East who wishes to leave: ✅ Register at step.state.gov 📲 Call the State Department 24/7 at +1-202-501-4444. The safety & security of American citizens is our number one priority.

Apparently, the "moderate" Democrat thinks: “God is non-binary," Jesus Christ was a "radical feminist," "white skin gives every white American immunity from the virus," and our U.S. border should be like "a welcome mat." Oh, and they're for "trans" abortion.

🚨 UPDATE: War Powers Resolution vote is scheduled at 4pm ET today. Barack Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in at least 7 countries in 2016 without a word from Congress. I won’t hamstring President Trump. Unlike many before him, @POTUS is the ‘peace through strength’ President. He has earned our trust just 4.5 days into this mission. As Democrat Senator John Fetterman rightfully acknowledged, the President must notify Congress within 48 hours of military action. He did that. If Congress does not declare war, the President must terminate the use of armed forces within 60-90 days. 106 hours into this conflict, President Trump is well within his authority as Commander in Chief. I’ll vote NO on Democrat Tim Kaine’s resolution.

ICYMI: Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of the U.S. Central Command, provides an update on Operation Epic Fury

Gen. Dan Caine: "As of this morning, @CENTCOM is making steady progress. Iran's theater ballistic missile shots fired are down 86% from the first day of fighting, with a 23% decrease just in the last 24 hours. Their one-way attack drone shots are down 73% from the opening days."

.@SecRubio: "We have identified and continue to identify charter flights, military flight options, and expanded commercial flight options... Here's the message I want to deliver Americans who are in the Middle East and in need of assistance.... We need to know where you are. We need to have contact information for Americans that need assistance. They have to register with us, because as these options begin to open up, and as they open up, we have to be able to call you."

Senators are headed to the classified White House briefing on targeted military combat operations in Iran. It's worth noting: @SecRubio has briefed Congress more times as a cabinet official than he received in four years in the Gang of 8 under Joe Biden.

@ScottPresler @Karen261977 Yes, I’m good with the talking filibuster. Pass the SAVE Act!

@SenMullin @Karen261977 Thank you! Will you also make a statement in support of the taking filibuster to ensure the SAVE America Act gets to the Senate floor for debate? Let’s have real talk: Cosponsorship is good, but it means nothing unless we do the talking filibuster. Respectfully.

The U.S. Senate must pass the SAVE America Act. I'm a co-sponsor of the bill, and I'll be a YES vote.

Your weekly reminder that the same Democrats calling on @SecRubio to resign... unanimously voted to confirm him 99-0 (@VP had departed the Senate).

This is 100% correct.

MULLIN: “I don’t remember you saying ANYTHING in 2016 when Barack Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in Syria, Pakistan, Libya—to name a few.” “President Trump is doing his job as Commander in Chief… but there is no way on God’s green earth you can give @POTUS any credit.” 🔥🔥🔥

.@SenMullin: "President Trump tried multiple times to let diplomacy work... [Khamenei] pushed forward, and the president doesn’t bluff... if he says he's going to do something, he will follow through with it—and he's proven it time and time again."

Angry liberals who can’t rely on facts or reason love to say anything President Trump does is “illegal” or “racist.” …Including taking out an Islamic terrorist who kills Americans. Here’s what the law actually says about @POTUS’ authority— and how it applies to Iran.
