Good luck to @RazorbackBSB in the SEC Championship today. Go Hogs!

If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution. This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel. Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability. It is important we get this right.

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority is Iran’s latest attempt to illegally control the Strait of Hormuz. I’m encouraging @SecScottBessent to sanction this criminal entity. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

Any country that illegally works with Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz should be sanctioned. I’m ready to work with @SecScottBessent to hold these countries accountable. freebeacon.com/national-secur…

I thank Tulsi Gabbard for her service in this administration and in uniform, and I wish her the very best as she supports her husband Abe in his battle with cancer. Please join me in sending them prayers for a full and fast recovery.

From Ebbing to Camden to Pine Bluff, Arkansas plays a vital role in our national security. @amppob and I discussed recent defense investments in our state that bring opportunity and jobs for Arkansans. armoneyandpolitics.com/tom-cotton-tal…

Iran has threatened America and the civilized world for 47 years. I discussed with @amppob why President Trump is right to defang this radical regime. armoneyandpolitics.com/tom-cotton-tal…

I look forward to continue working with the Southern Crop Production Association to increase domestic fertilizer production and lower input costs for our Arkansas farmers. Thank you for stopping by!

American jobs belong to American workers—period. For too long, our system has allowed fraud to undercut citizens looking for work. This bill shuts down that abuse and ensures our grads get the fair shot they deserve. foxnews.com/politics/exclu…

It was an honor to meet with @MariaCorinaYA to discuss Venezuela’s bright future. As the Trump administration continues to support a return to democracy in Venezuela to our mutual benefit, I look forward to the day @MariaCorinaYA returns home and there is a free and fair presidential election.

Farmers have endured several very difficult years. @amppob and I discussed the Farm Bill and additional relief for Arkansas farmers. armoneyandpolitics.com/tom-cotton-tal…

Thank you, United for Cures, for helping to support life-saving biomedical research for Arkansans.

Chinese-controlled logistics firms are undercutting American companies and handing Chinese communists the addresses, purchases, and routines of millions of Americans. I’ve asked the Justice Department to investigate this communist surveillance tool. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

A Chinese pharmaceutical company relabeled drug ingredients from an unapproved source and changed manufacturing dates before shipping them to America. We can’t keep depending on Chinese-linked pharmaceutical supply chains for our medicines. fda.gov/inspections-co…

My Focus on Learning Act directs @Surgeon_General to study the effects of cellphone use in schools and provides K-12 schools with resources to create phone-free classroom environments. I commend the @Surgeon_General for examining the issue.

Under President Trump’s watch, not one illegal alien has been released into our country over the past year.

For 60 years, the Castro regime has killed Americans and terrorized the Cuban people. @TheJusticeDept is right to hold Raúl Castro accountable.

Yesterday, President Trump directed @USTreasury to implement key portions of my Know Your American Customer Act to ensure illegal migrants don’t have access to our financial institutions. Our banking system is a privilege for those who respect our laws and sovereignty.
