I agree with Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro: The Navy's budget "should be driven by strategy and not the strategy driven by the budget itself." But adding 8 ships while decommissioning 24 does not reflect a strategy to compete with our adversaries. https://t.co/eaZIdtYCLD — PolitiTweet.org

Trading between capacity & capability is a false choice, particularly given our global responsibilities. Quantity has a quality all of its own. W/ the CCP's naval fleet expanding & ours declining, the US must make investments necessary to protect our interests around the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I questioned SecDef Austin and General Milley on the inadequate budget request for FY23. We must build our naval fleet with the urgency required to deter China and other adversaries this decade - not 20 years from now. https://t.co/wFBa5MrLr9 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to join my colleagues in calling for Pres. Biden to increase the defense budget. As China & Russia’s malign activity escalates, we must ensure that our warfighters receive the equipment and resources they need to defend the U.S. & our friends. https://t.co/JaO7Wowqvc — PolitiTweet.org

Another dark point in the FY23 Navy budget: 4 landing dock ships set for retirement have 25 yrs of service life remaining. Cutting our amphibious assault capabilities weakens our position in the Indo-Pacific. This is a failing strategy by every measure. https://t.co/RDnPbkvcOQ — PolitiTweet.org

The Navy needs a prudent shipbuilding plan through an ambitious budget. 1) Congress and DoD must be on the same page. 2) There needs to be long-term consistency for our industrial base. 3) The Navy must plan for advanced technologies that will give us a tactical advantage. — PolitiTweet.org

Allowing China to believe they have control over this war is beyond dangerous. Hopefully, Biden made it clear to Xi what is at stake. Any interference by China to enable Putin’s vicious behavior in Ukraine should be met with strong sanctions by the U.S. https://t.co/gHMg8xzqxp — PolitiTweet.org
