Senator Scott has been a “turn around” specialist his entire life.
He rescued broken hospital systems.
He saved Florida as Governor when we were hemorrhaging jobs.
Senate Republicans should follow his lead.
While we had a robust conversation about what Republicans can do to block the Democrats’ socialist agenda, the Senate Republican Conference decided to proceed with the leadership elections today. There was no recorded vote for leadership so nobody was given the opportunity to support or oppose the candidates.
During our conference meeting, I made a motion for the conference to agree to stay in Washington to get things done. The conference unanimously agreed to my motion and committed to maximize our time in Washington to get our agenda done and my expectation is that we work every single day for the American people.
Republicans need to wake up and listen to our constituents. We need to have a plan to get things done for the American people before we lose the majority. I am going to fight to keep the Senate in session, working every single day until we confirm every nominee, every judge, and pass critical Republican bills to support jobs, lower prices, secure our elections, and hold Washington accountable.

I'm glad Senate Republicans adopted my motion to stay in town and WORK.
The Senate is in session today. Here's what is moving forward ⬇️
1. Permitting Reform, which would lower costs for every American. I’m fighting to include key provisions that help Florida.
2. Confirming judges to lifetime appointments.
We need to get as much done as possible before Democrats take over in January. No excuses. No days off.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our great nation. Thank you to our veterans for your courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our freedoms. God bless our veterans! 🇺🇸

Serving nearly 30 years in the Kentucky Army National Guard, including time overseas in Iraq, was one of the greatest honors of my life. This Veterans Day, I reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to protect our freedoms. May God bless our veterans! 🇺🇸

House Speaker @reposborne of Prospect was nominated without opposition for a historic fifth term. Osborne was elected to the Kentucky House in 2005 and previously served as Speaker Pro Tempore.

The Abraham Accords was a historic peace deal to advance relations between Israel and multiple Arab countries. I look forward working with all parties involved to strengthen the Abraham Accords.
Chairman @RepBrianMast convened the first-ever congressional forum between HFAC Members and Abraham Accords Ambassadors.
The discussion focused on strengthening regional cooperation, addressing challenges, and Congress’s role in advancing the next chapter of the Abraham Accords.

All the evidence points to the federal government as Epstein’s greatest accomplice.
The government failed the survivors of Epstein’s horrific crimes for decades. Feds even just let Epstein walk out of jail in 2008.
A formal DOJ investigation needs to happen. @JesseBWatters

Happy Veterans Day — to our best Americans.
The Hegseth’s are honored to celebrate our veterans this morning at Arlington with @POTUS, @VP & @SecVetAffairs.
Thank God for our warriors, past and present.

My statement on becoming the Ranking Member of the Senate HELP Committee for the 120th Congress:
"Over the past two years, as Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I delivered the unprecedented oversight I promised. I challenged entrenched bureaucracies, forced federal officials to answer for their actions, and pulled back the curtain on what Washington tried to keep hidden. That included bringing Anthony Fauci before my committee under oath, bringing forward an Intelligence Community whistleblower who exposed what the government knew, and making thousands of pages of previously unreleased COVID-related documents public so Americans could read them for themselves.
Next year I will bring that same approach to the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee as Ranking Member. As a physician and the author of dozens of bills on health care, education, and labor, I know the issues before this committee affect nearly every American family, from the cost of health care and how schools serve our children to how people earn a living and save for retirement.
Too many in Washington answer these questions with more government, and the coming Congress will bring a rush toward socialism unlike anything we have seen. Families, not federal bureaucrats, should make the decisions that shape their lives. I will stand against efforts to put Washington between Americans and their doctors, their children's schools, and their paychecks.
Kentuckians sent me to Washington to defend their freedom and hold government accountable. That is what I have done as HSGAC Chairman, and it is what I intend to keep doing on the HELP Committee."

Now they decide it’s time?
🚨 JUST IN: Flanked by John Thune, Senate GOP Whip John Barrasso announces they are pushing to APPROVE ALL remaining Trump judicial nominees before Dems take over and ensure 0 vacancies
FOLLOW THROUGH, GET THIS DONE!
"We have a bold agenda going forward. We will waste no time...that means ALL these judicial appointments, we're gonna do everything we can to get every single one of them approved...we will leave NO vacancy behind."
I heard it, now I want to see it in action!
Because Dems aren't approving ONE conservative to the federal judiciary when they take over.

Somewhere in Kentucky today, an old military buddy is getting a phone call that will last a little longer than planned.
They’ve got stories. Some are funny enough to tell over and over. Some they may prefer to keep between themselves, and that's okay.
We’re fortunate to have these men and women in our lives. They’re our parents and grandparents, our co-workers, our neighbors and our friends. Before we knew some of them, they had already lived a chapter most of us can only ask about and never experience.
This Veterans Day, make that call. Buy lunch. Bring the kids along. If a veteran wants to tell a story, stick around for the whole thing because it'll be worth your time.
To everyone who served: Happy Veterans Day. Kentucky is proud to call you our own.

Just when you think @RepThomasMassie couldn’t embarrass Kentucky any more, he finds a way.
His latest stunt is nothing more than another attempt to put his own political interests ahead of the people he’s supposed to represent.
As a Kentuckian, I find it embarrassing. Thank God his time representing our great state is coming to an end. Kentucky deserves better.

🚨 NEVER LET IT FALL! President Trump just closed his Veterans Day speech at Arlington with the most American words you will hear all year.
"We will never, ever forsake the flag you held high, we will never let it fall, and the nation you served, we will never, ever let it fail."
He told every veteran their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
That is what a Commander in Chief sounds like.

It’s up to Senate Republicans to work AROUND THE CLOCK and be here every day so we can confirm judicial nominees to lifetime appointments!
20+ judicial nominees are waiting to be confirmed, and confirming them all takes about 200 working hours. We only have 53 DAYS to get as many people as possible through the process.
Here’s how it works ⬇️

I will always be a Mike Johnson fan. What we accomplished under his leadership in a slim majority- border security, children’s investment account, education choice tax credit, investment in missile defense, record opening of energy production to name a few - was historic and will positively impact America for generations.
Job well done, Mr. Speaker. 🇺🇸
I congratulate Rep. @Jim_Jordan, @GOPMajorityWhip, Chairwoman @RepLisaMcClain, and the entire House GOP Leadership team on their elections to lead our Conference in the 120th Congress.
It is a great honor to be called upon by your colleagues to serve, and these men and women are well-equipped to stand in the gap and preserve the values that have made America the freest, most powerful, and most successful nation the world has ever known.
While we face challenges ahead, they are by no means insurmountable, and I look forward to working alongside this leadership team to earn back our majority and fight to preserve this grand experiment in self-governance.

Reconciliation 3.0
More thinking and strategy from @SenMcCormickPA
🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) confirms he FULLY SUPPORTS and is willing to stay and work on a 3rd reconciliation package, which only needs 50 votes + JD Vance
"Potentially SAVE AMERICA [Act]" included 🇺🇸
"A reconciliation 3.0. This is something I'm glad the House is talking about it. I think there's a real shot we could get something done in the Senate and the question is whether we can also get that done in the House. And that allows us to do a number of key things in terms of funding defense and potential agriculture supplements for agriculture, and potentially SAVE America."
EVERY GOP SENATOR SHOULD BE ON BOARD
We just got THUMPED in this election. What is there to lose now? 50 days.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem won't go for any of this once they take power. Thank you, Senator!
