In the two years since terrorists invaded Israel to rape, murder, and kidnap innocents, Hamas has chosen every day to compound needless suffering, while Israel has sacrificed greatly in the pursuit of peace. My thoughts on the anniversary of 10/7 and what comes next:…

We should not force the children of our servicemembers to pay the price for Washington’s failure to appropriate funds on time, especially as many of these dependents will choose to serve in uniform themselves after graduation.


I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to remind Democrat colleagues that taking basic government functions hostage for partisan demands never pays. This shutdown won’t end until Democrats re-learn this lesson. For the sake of the American people, I hope they do so quickly.


Grateful once again for @POTUS’ strong support of our hard-working coal miners. His latest move reverses Obama/Biden's regulatory overreach that targeted producers of affordable & reliable American energy in places like Kentucky. Coal keeps the lights on.

Today, @ENERGY is announcing programs to reinvigorate the American coal industry. The coal industry has been under assault under previous administrations, but now, coal plants will remain relied upon to power the U.S. and win the AI race.



I welcome President Trump’s acknowledgement that Ukraine can defeat Russia’s brutal aggression. Now, the world is watching to see if his Administration will take action. My full statement: sen.gov/mcconnell/X982V


Clear majorities of Americans, including Republicans, support continued military assistance to Ukraine. @POTUS has identified Russia as the aggressor; now, his Administration should act accordingly. globalaffairs.org/research/publi…

Well, my colleague, Ted Cruz, said it looked just like Goodfellas. As a First Amendment guy, myself, I think he’s probably got it right. You don’t have to like what somebody says on TV to agree that the government shouldn’t be getting involved here.


Great to meet with @kentuckyguard leadership today in Washington and discuss defense priorities for our nation and the Commonwealth. I’m grateful to our brave soldiers and airmen who serve in the Kentucky National Guard—they make all of us proud.

If passionate disagreement is a sign of a healthy democracy, political violence like yesterday’s sickening display is a sign of decay. My thoughts in the @CourierJournal today regarding political violence threatening the fabric of American society: courier-journal.com/story/opinion/…


Proud to see Chad Meredith voted favorably out of @SenJudiciaryGOP today. @POTUS made an excellent choice in nominating Chad to the US District Court for the Eastern District of KY. Chad is a brilliant attorney who will serve our country well & I look forward to his confirmation.

The perpetrators of 9/11 intended to deal our nation a fatal blow. But the sacrifice of first responders, valor of servicemembers, and strength of communities proved them wrong. Today, and every day, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The news out of Utah is horrific. There is no place for political violence in our country. Please join me in praying for Charlie Kirk and his family.


If we call it the Dept. of War, we'd better equip the military to actually prevent and win wars. Can't preserve American primacy if we're unwilling to spend substantially more on our military than Carter or Biden. "Peace through strength" requires investment, not just rebranding.

BREAKING: President Trump signs executive order changing Department of Defense back to Department of War.

This announcement is great news for Harrodsburg! It builds on their strong partnership and is a proud testament to the hardworking men and women at the facility. I enjoyed visiting the facility and its employees and I’m proud of the work they do there.
