The F-35 is the most capable and cost effective fighter that’s out there today – that’s what we hear from the people who fly them. I’m glad @POTUS’ nominee for @usairforce secretary agrees with @GenCQBrownJr that the F-35 is a cornerstone of our fighter fleet. https://t.co/Z4sn38nzSs — PolitiTweet.org

.@LeaderMcConnell has it right: We can’t compete with China if we short-change our Armed Forces. Being able to compete in the economic, diplomatic and technological arenas - that's important too. But it doesn’t matter if we don’t have the military might to back it up. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Thank you to the @USNationalGuard, especially the @OKGuard, who have protected the @USCapitol for the last four and a half months. God bless these men and women as they return to their homes, their loved ones, and their missions. https://t.co/U8ojY714Sb — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Our Navy is key to confronting China. The @USNavy needs to deliver ships on time and budget with mature technology – something I’ve focused on as @SASCGOP ranking member.https://t.co/RhEbrsAOyf — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

As we await the results of the Inspector General investigation, I will continue looking into ways we can protect service members of all ideologies to ensure they have the freedom of speech and thought they are afforded as citizens of this country, including through the #NDAA. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I’m paying close attention to how @DeptofDefense is handling cases like Lt. Col Matthew Lohmeier's. I’m glad the @usairforce Inspector General is looking into this situation. Based on the information the committee has received so far and what’s been reported, I am concerned. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Glad to introduce a bill that would allow the MKARNS to be eligible for the same competitive grant funding as highways and other modes of moving freight. ⬇️ Read more on my website ⬇️ https://t.co/6sm3zunxJJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The Biden admin is clearly incentivizing illegal immigrants to bypass the legal process, allowing illegal immigrants charged with heinous crimes to be released into American communities and allow asylum abuse to run rampant. The Biden Border Crisis ⬇️ https://t.co/UclCRqSJb6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

It’s past time to reopen the Capitol to the American people! Read the full letter @JerryMoran and I wrote here and more below: https://t.co/02Eta2VJZH — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

As we continue to advance as a nation, we are in need of a center to address the demands and challenges associated with our growing aviation industry. I am proud to introduce this bill to establish the NCAA alongside @TammyDuckworth, @SenHydeSmith, @marcorubio and @RonWyden. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Today, I led a letter to Interior Secretary Haaland urging against listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken under the Endangered Species Act. I was joined by @JerryMoran, @RogerMarshallMD, @SenatorLankford, @tedcruz and @JohnCornyn. Read the full letter ⬇️ https://t.co/6XYEVeRMmU — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I am proud to introduce this bill alongside Sens. @JohnBoozman and @TomCottonAR to designate U.S. Route 412, from I-35 in Noble County, Oklahoma, to I-49 in Springdale, Arkansas, as a future interstate. https://t.co/6rkVxd8NGr — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Our interstate system is the lifeblood of Oklahoma’s economy and provides the network for companies to bring materials into our critical industries, for businesses to locate in areas convenient for consumers, and for commuters to get to work and school safely and reliably. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Our nuclear umbrella provides security guarantees to our Indo-Pacific allies, including South Korea. My colleagues & I urge @potus to reject dangerous policies that would weaken that umbrella, and provide reassurance to our Korean friends that nuclear modernization is a priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Watch my Q&A from today’s #SASC hearing on the transition in Afghanistan – a calendar-based approach that goes against the bipartisan advice of Congress – here: https://t.co/2aoWITT3nZ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I didn’t get a lot of comfort out of the answers we got from witnesses at today’s hearing on the ill-advised withdrawal from Afghanistan. I’m very concerned about the lack of progress made with the Taliban and the steps being taken to protect our Afghan allies after we leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I’ll keep working with my colleagues to make sure we are giving our military the resources they need to deter Chinese military aggression – but without this amendment and addressing military spending in #USICA, I have reservations about this legislation. https://t.co/I3lE6qVdSd — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I’m disappointed @SenateDems reversed their longstanding support for parity and rejected @SenShelby and my commonsense amendment that would have ensured that we employ all our tools of national power for strategic competition against China. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

In 2019, @SenSchumer & @SpeakerPelosi said, “Democrats have always insisted on parity in increases between defense and non-defense spending.” So why would they change their minds now, when the threat from China is worse than ever? My amendment w/@SenShelby should be an easy yes. https://t.co/bfsyQGgTNl — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

President Biden is shutting down pipelines in the U.S., like Keystone XL, while giving strongman Putin a free pass at Nord Stream 2, a pipeline Putin will use to pressure our allies in Europe. To quote @POTUS: This is a “bad deal.” My statement ↓ https://t.co/YH30mYrPC4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

This should be an easy amendment to support and pass. This is not just a Republican priority. Democrats have supported parity between defense and non-defense spending for years, and we'll continue to work together in a bipartisan way to address our defense needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Any bill that seeks to counter the whole threat from China must address China’s very real military threat. My amendment w/ @SenShelby will ensure that any increase in non-defense discretionary spending is matched by the same increase to defense spending. https://t.co/AZXwPwaAr0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The National Guard Assn. agrees w/ @RepMikeRogersAL & me: No standing National Guard Quick Reaction Force to protect the Capitol. “While the Guard is able to pivot & take on a multitude of missions, our soldiers & airmen should only perform law enforcement as a last resort.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Thank you, @SenKevinCramer, @SenatorFischer, and @SenHydeSmith, for co-sponsoring the Inhofe-Shelby Parity Amendment! — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

Thank you, @SenTomCotton, @SenJoniErnst, @SenThomTillis, @SenatorRounds, and @SenatorHagerty, for co-sponsoring this important amendment! — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

In our efforts to counter China’s quest for global hegemony, it would be shortsighted to ramp up our domestic investments in technology without also increasing defense spending and leveraging our expansive @DeptofDefense research and development enterprise. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

That’s why @SenShelby and I are offering an amendment to the #USICA that provides dollar-for-dollar parity in budget increases between defense and non-defense spending. Read our full statement on the amendment here ↓ https://t.co/YDVruGy3cM — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The best deterrent to Chinese ambition and aggression is a strong and feared American military. Providing the funding increases our military needs to counter this growing threat must be our highest priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

The National Guard went above & beyond to protect the Capitol – but Capitol security must remain the responsibility of federal civil law enforcement. @RepMikeRogersAL & I oppose creating a DC Guard Quick Reaction Force in the House’s emergency supplemental https://t.co/gTCxm0r7Ov — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe

I am alarmed that the Biden Administration plans to waive sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project. This failure to act, combined with plans to reduce our defense spending, signals that the U.S. will stand by as Putin seeks to squeeze our European Allies and partners. — PolitiTweet.org
