U.S. Senator proudly serving the state of Arkansas.
I was honored to escort President Trump into the House last night on behalf of Arkansans. It was an outstanding speech on a great start to the administration with the best yet to come.
The United States has a munitions crisis. We need more munitions, and more kinds of munitions, faster. This can only be done with an “all of the above” approach that leverages our organic industrial base in places like Pine Bluff Arsenal.
ICE continues to do the important work of getting these monsters off our streets and keeping Americans safe. Violent illegal alien criminals have no right to be in our country. breitbart.com/politics/2025/…
It’s an honor to be confirmed and to have the trust of @POTUS and @DNIGabbard to serve as the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence. As someone who’s spent most of my career in intelligence, I understand firsthand our challenges as a community and the threats we face…
Aaron Lukas has dedicated his entire adult life to serving our country, both on the frontlines as a clandestine operations officer, as well as in critical policymaking and leadership roles. His experience, skills and commitment to the Constitution make him uniquely qualified to…
This is a shameful endorsement of terrorists. The best way for this conflict to end is to back Israel in its righteous mission of rescuing the hostages and defeating Hamas.
Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…
DoD and Congress must work together to put in place protocols and processes that account for the growing threat posed by Communist China. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
If DoD is hampered by agreements and practices unwisely adopted by previous administrations that fail to account for the growing Chinese threat, Congress and the administration must take further action to protect our national security. reuters.com/world/china/us…
Expecting parents of potentially premature babies should be able to plan their delivery at a hospital that can suit their child’s specific care needs. My bill will ease at least one burden these parents face. wsj.com/health/healthc…
Exclusive: Hospitals would be required to disclose how they make key decisions regarding extremely premature infants in a bill set to be introduced Thursday by Sen. Tom Cotton on.wsj.com/44LDX80
This bill will make sure families receive the resources they need to help recover from the unexpected loss of a child. Nothing can replace such a loss, but the legislation will make sure parents have time to begin the recovery process. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
The current restrictions on UAS sales to allies and partners are outdated and put American companies at a disadvantage. This bill will spur American business and innovation while decreasing global dependence on Chinese military technology. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
I’m pleased to see President Trump’s plan endorse strong and creative controls on AI-enabling technologies, including location verification. This is a key provision in my bipartisan, bicameral Chip Security Act and it will help ensure our advanced chips do not end up in China.
Today the @WhiteHouse released America’s AI Action Plan to win the global race. We need to OUT-INNOVATE our competitors, BUILD AI & energy infrastructure, & EXPORT American AI around the world. Visit AI.gov
Our laws that classify drones are badly outdated and cede the global UAS market to China. My bill will create American jobs and spur innovation that will help our warfighters.
Nothing can replace the loss of a newborn child, but this legislation will make sure parents have time and resources to begin the recovery process. dailywire.com/news/exclusive…
Drone swarm attacks are becoming more frequent on battlefields across the world, and our military must be prepared to face these attacks from terrorist groups, insurgencies, and others.
Today I introduced a bill to ban heavy toxic metals from baby formula, and to direct the FDA to study their effects. New parents should not have to worry about toxic heavy metals being a part of their infant’s formula, or what side-effects they may have. cotton.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
Iran’s “space program” is nothing more than a ridiculous charade designed to hide their efforts to develop long-range ballistic missiles to attack America and our allies. Don’t be fooled by their propaganda. apnews.com/article/iran-s…
The One Big Beautiful Bill ensures that welfare benefits go to the working families who truly need them by prohibiting illegal immigrants from receiving SNAP and Medicaid.
New parents should not have to worry about toxic heavy metals being a part of their infant’s formula. I’m introducing a bill today to ban toxic heavy metals from all baby formula.
We owe it to past, present, and future aviators in the armed forces to study the prevalence of cancer among this group of veterans. I applaud the House for passing this important piece of legislation and look forward President Trump signing it into law.
The ACES Act, first introduced by @RepPfluger, would: ✅ Ensure there is trusted medical research available to pave the way for toxic-exposed military pilots and air crew to access their VA disability compensation benefits ✅ Give military pilots and aircrewmen the answers they…
The House just passed the ACES Act to honor the late Colonel Andrew Shurtleff, who was a @usairforce pilot for 23 years — and tragically lost his battle with cancer this year. Listen to @RepPfluger’s remarks on his friend and fellow airmen as this bill heads to @POTUS’ desk ⬇️
🚨I just spoke on the House Floor in support of the ACES Act. This legislation is more than just a bill—it's a lifeline and a message to every pilot who has ever put on the uniform to protect our skies that we will fight to protect them in return. Watch my full remarks:
