Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I want to be perfectly clear: the frustration on this committee about the chaotic & deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan is not—and should never be—directed towards our troops. Our men & women in uniform bravely volunteer to go into harm’s way to keep their fellow Americans safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Tune in now as I deliver opening remarks at a hearing on @POTUS's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan & the Administration's future plans for counterterrorism. @SASCGOP is here today to understand what happened, why military advice was ignored & who should be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Tomorrow, @SecDef, Gen. Milley and Gen. McKenzie will appear before @SASCGOP for a deep dive into @POTUS’s disastrous drawdown in #Afghanistan. I have a lot of questions, and I’m eager to hear their answers. Americans deserve transparency and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Along with my colleagues @SenatorRisch, @RepMikeRogersAl, and @RepMcCaul, I’ve sent a letter to @SecDef and @SecBlinken asking for a briefing on the administration’s plans to engage with Russia and urging them not to return to “business as usual.” https://t.co/e32cppCszJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I’m deeply troubled to learn that the administration is in discussions with Russia to secure access to Russian military installations in Central Asia. Not only would military cooperation with Russia violate the law, but it also will not further our counterterrorism goals. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Their proposal targets American energy production and its associated jobs. We need to return to a regulatory and legislative agenda that prioritizes affordable, reliable energy and encourages American independence. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Democrats couldn’t pass their socialist Green New Deal on its own, so now they are using the reconciliation process as a vehicle to enact it and a grab-bag of other leftist policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy National Hunting and Fishing Day, Oklahoma. Hunting, fishing and spending time outdoors have always been some of my favorite pastimes, and there’s no better place to do that than in our great state. https://t.co/IPnbCK0n1u — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

In order to pay for their unprecedented spending spree, Democrats are looking to raise taxes across every facet of our recovering economy. Oklahoma families and businesses cannot afford to use their-hard earned dollars to bankroll progressive wish-lists. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

As I’ve said many times, modernizing the U.S. nuclear deterrent is a bipartisan congressional priority. Yesterday’s vote in the House makes that crystal clear. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Their tax and spending spree must be stopped. That’s why I am proud to introduce the No Hearing, No Vote bill alongside @SenatorBraun, @SenatorBurr and a number of our @SenateGOP colleagues to bring greater transparency and deliberation to the reconciliation process. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Democrats’ abuse of the budget reconciliation process is appalling and sad. Despite the trillions of dollars they have already spent under the Biden administration and the clear concerns of American citizens regarding this spending, they want more. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I’ve heard my @SASCGOP and @SASCDems colleagues ask for this information, and Congress, our service members and the American people deserve to see these responses. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

This information will inform us as we hold further hearings on the drawdown and how the U.S. will conduct counterterrorism in the future. We need a full accounting of every factor and decision that led us to where we are today and a real plan for defending America moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Ahead of next week’s Armed Services Committee hearing, I’ve asked @SecDef for the information I believe the committee needs to conduct robust, methodical oversight of the United States withdrawal from Afghanistan. https://t.co/PFlZcj7sKx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

It’s time Democrats take full responsibility for their reckless spending. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Let’s make one thing clear now: What happened in Afghanistan over the past few months was not a failure of our military – it was a failure of our commander-in-chief and the people who advise him. Even as @POTUS tries to blame everyone else, the buck stops with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

.@POTUS hasn’t been telling the truth about what happened in Afghanistan. Yesterday on the Senate floor, I talked about his administration’s inconsistencies – and what @SASCGOP is going to do to get the truth. https://t.co/YMI9AeeRNj — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

It’s a shame House Democrat leaders caved to progressives by playing politics with defensive systems that save lives like the Iron Dome. There’s no reason protecting civilians from indiscriminate rocket attacks should be a partisan issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I thank @SenJackReed for his partnership and his commitment to getting this critical bill to the floor. #FY22NDAA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

While I don’t support every provision in this bill, all Senators will have the opportunity to improve it through an open floor process. I hope @SenSchumer brings it up for consideration in short order. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

It’s up to Congress to ensure that our troops and their families have the tools, capabilities, training and resources needed to defend our country from these very real, very serious threats. That’s why this year’s bill boosts defense spending by $25 billion above @POTUS request. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Today we are one step closer to enacting the #FY22NDAA – something Congress has done every year for the last 60 years in a row. This is the most important bill we do each year, but the current crises we face make it more essential now. Learn more here ↓ https://t.co/GFm3cochMG — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The misnamed Freedom to Vote Act was put together after Democrats failed to produce a bill that their entire party supported. Make no mistake – no amount of rebranding will convince Americans into believing this bill is anything but a federal election takeover. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

In an effort to advance their power-grabbing agenda to federalize elections, Democrats have repackaged their flawed, partisan election reform bill that would undermine and supersede Oklahoma’s safe and secure election laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

My colleagues on both sides of the aisle and I are demanding answers — and so are the American people, our service members and our allies and partners around the world. My full statement on today's briefing ↓ https://t.co/GZJSVaTWA8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

After today's briefing, I'm left with more questions than answers. Next week, we'll have a chance to ask these questions to @SecDef, General Milley, and General McKenzie, and I'm glad @ColinKahl is committed to testifying on this topic at an open hearing in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Today @SASCGOP held the 2nd briefing in our fact-finding mission to review what happened in Afghanistan after President Biden's disastrous decision to withdraw. Now, more than ever, I'm certain we will need multiple open hearings to get a complete picture. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I applaud the contributions of allies and partners from across the globe to address these challenges, but there’s much more to do to restore the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. The threat requires further increasing cooperation with allies and partners. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

In the face of increasing aggression by China, strengthening our defense ties with the UK and Australia is the right move. I look forward to learning more about how we will work with two of our closest allies to meet shared security objectives. — PolitiTweet.org
