Congratulations to Arkansas native Sgt. Maj. John Canley, whose heroic actions saved the lives of his fellow Marines.https://twitter.com/USMC/status/1052652739463929856 …

Thankfully, this administration has made it clear that the U.S. will not ignore the plight of Americans held hostage abroad. https://bit.ly/2OOJ3u3 

I am pleased to see that Pastor Brunson will finally be free to return safely to American soil. His release is long overdue, and the Turkish government never should have detained him in the first place.

Passing this bill will show the families of the deceased and members of our military that the United States will always honor its veterans appropriately for their service. MORE: https://bit.ly/2CbQAw6 

The rank of a Medal of Honor recipient or POW should not be the final measure of their service to this country. Instead, their courageous actions and the sacrifices they made should be enough to prove their dedication, and their funeral honors must reflect the same.

Recently, I introduced the Honoring our Heroes Act of 2018, which would allow all Medal of Honor recipients & prisoners of war who are eligible for burial at Arlington National Cemetery to receive a full military honors burial ceremony with an escort.

Happy #NationalFarmersDay to all of Arkansas’s hard-working farmers.https://twitter.com/USDA/status/1050710355456995328 …

When drug overdose deaths are at a record high of more than 72,000 per year, the last thing Congress should do is lessen the penalty for trafficking drugs. Instead, we should strengthen the penalties for trafficking fentanyl.

Iran’s case is baseless, and I applaud Secretary Pompeo’s decision to withdraw the United States from such an outdated agreement.

If Tehran wants access to additional parts and equipment for civil aviation, it should use its domestic fleet for carrying civilian passengers instead of munitions and troops to support its allies in Syria.

Congratulations to Arkansas’s three Blue Ribbon schools: J.B. Hunt Elementary, Woodrow Cummins Elementary, and @SchoolKingsland! Arkansas is proud of the students, faculty and staff, and parents who worked together to achieve this honor!

Judge Kavanaugh gave compelling testimony, with specific and detailed recollection. His testimony is corroborated by multiple other statements and evidence. The Democrats’ disgraceful smear campaign of character assassination must come to an end. It’s time for the Senate to vote.

The USS Wasp should try Kaohsiung instead. I’m sure Taiwan would be more than happy to host our U.S. Sailors and Marines for a port call.https://twitter.com/WSJ/status/1044542077122617345 …

Gene made Arkansas State University into the proud institution it is today, and all of Northeast Arkansas has benefitted from his hard work and leadership there. My thoughts and prayers are with his family as we all remember a life well-lived.https://twitter.com/ArkansasOnline/status/1044412434629480449 …
