American cotton producers are a critical industry, and consumers benefit from the expansion of production, affordability, and quality of cotton. @SecRollins is putting American producers first, which will maximize the cotton industry’s potential both domestically along with exports abroad.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

The Great American Cotton Plan is about one thing: Putting American cotton first again.

Real “_____” wear cotton. 👖🌱

Americans. Cowboys. Farmers. Families. MAHA. Because cotton is real, natural, American-grown, and made by U.S. farmers.

Here’s the plan 👇

✅ Promote natural American-grown fibers over synthetic, plastic-based materials  
✅ Expand domestic cotton manufacturing and textile production  
✅ Increase export opportunities for U.S. cotton producers  
✅ Strengthen support for cotton mills and processors  
✅ Protect cotton growers from market volatility and adverse risk  
✅ Modernize facilities and expand production capacity  
✅ Support long-term profitability for America’s cotton farmers  

This is about rebuilding an industry that supports jobs, rural communities, American manufacturing, and our agricultural future.  

Plant, not plastic.

I’m proud that this innovative technology and training is occurring in OKC. Thank you @SecDuffy and @FAA_Bryan for investing your time and resources into the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center.

[Rep. Tom Cole @TomColeOK04]

Yesterday, I led a hearing, where we collected testimony from @SecDuffy. During the hearing, I utilized some of my time with the Secretary to advocate for the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in OKC.

We have the land, the facilities, and a world-class staff in Oklahoma to ensure that air traffic controllers receive in-person, focused, state-of-the-art training. Therefore, I will always fight for the funding the center needs to modernize and expand, while at the same time push back on any effort to decentralize or weaken what we have built there.

I'd like to thank Secretary Duffy for the attention he has given to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, as he truly understands what this facility means to the safety of our nation's entire aviation system.

I thank @SecRollins for creating new jobs and maximizing fertilizer capacity across the nation. The transparency and efficiency from @USDA helps farmers and ranchers have the essential resources they need to succeed.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Three major steps we announced today to strengthen American fertilizer production and support our farmers and ranchers. 🇺🇸 🚜

1️⃣ The Blue Point Project in Louisiana is moving at “Trump speed.”

Within 45 days, permitting is expected to wrap up for a $3.7 BILLION ammonia plant that will become the world’s largest ammonia plant — creating hundreds of jobs and strengthening America’s fertilizer supply chain.

2️⃣ Trump's USDA is fixing Biden’s broken Fertilizer Production Expansion Program and getting projects over the finish line.

When we inherited the program, only 8 of 121 projects had reached completion. Many were stalled by red tape and climate mandates instead of focused on fertilizer production.

We are now working directly with every awardee to move high-impact projects forward — including:
✅ An $80 million Washington state project expected to produce 700,000 tons annually of hydrogen ammonia fertilizer and support 200+ jobs
✅ A $3.89 million Iowa project expanding domestic organic fertilizer production

Together, these projects are expected to unlock over 2 million tons of new annual fertilizer capacity, support 61,000 producers, cover 30 million additional acres, and create more than 500 jobs.

3️⃣ USDA is increasing transparency for farmers.

Effective immediately, we are searching for a full-time input economist dedicated to tracking input costs and improving market transparency so we can better support America’s farmers and ranchers.

All-in, the projects announced today are expected to increase domestic fertilizer production by approximately 4.5 million tons per year — serving roughly 400,000 producers and 290 million acres of farmland.

This is an important step toward reshoring fertilizer production and putting American agriculture first again.

Congratulations to Kevin Warsh on his confirmation as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

In this critical economic time, I have full faith in his leadership as Fed Chair with his extensive background and expertise. 

As Chairman of the House Financial Services Task Force on Monetary Policy, Treasury Market Resilience, and Economic Prosperity, I look forward to working closely with Chairman Warsh as he leads the central bank.

As National Police Week begins, we honor the brave men and women that courageously serve our local communities. We are grateful for all that you do to keep us safe.

The Treasury market is the bedrock of our global financial system. With our nation’s debt continuing to grow, it’s critical that Congress, @SECGov, and @CFTC allow market participants to mitigate risk and drive demand for these instruments.

[Frank Lucas @RepFrankLucas]

I’m pleased to see, after years of hard work, the 2026 Farm Bill pass the U.S. House of Representatives. This bill reauthorizes a suite of critical research, rural development, and credit programs that will invest into our communities and create rural resiliency for decades to come. It also focuses on expanding and investing into market access programs abroad, and it ensures that voluntary conservation programs continue to reflect the needs of producers. As former Chairman of the House Ag Committee, I have experienced firsthand what it takes to pass a comprehensive farm bill, and I commend everyone that worked so hard to get this over the finish line. I look forward to building on this success to help create a final product for President Trump to sign into law.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of my friend Carl Renfro. From the first time I met Carl, not only was it obvious he was an outstanding member of Ponca City and a highly qualified banker, but his community spirit and focus on the future of the city was quite extraordinary. I consider the times I worked with Carl on important community projects as some of my most rewarding experiences as a public servant. Even after he retired from his business life, every discussion I had with him was about what we could do for Ponca City. His legacy will be remembered in Ponca City and all of Oklahoma forever, and he will be greatly missed. I am praying for his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

WATCH: @RepFrankLucas on how the Basel III proposals improves on the 2023 proposal:

“The Basel re-proposal we're discussing today is a dramatic improvement from the 2023 proposal, and I laud Vice Chair Bowman's hard work to release it less than a year after assuming a role... This proposal ensures capital requirements do not reduce our lending capacity, market liquidity, or other market making activity that banks provide to support the economy. The previous Basel proposal received a record volume of comments expressing concerns over the negative impact it would have had on lending capacity in our banking systems.”

Over 500 organizations support the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. They’re counting on Congress to finish the job, pass a farm bill, and deliver results for farmers, ranchers, and rural Americans.

It’s time for a vote on the farm bill.

I went to Vance Air Force Base in Enid to see the devastating tornado damage firsthand. I thank our brave first responders, medical professionals, Mayor Mason, and members of the Enid community that have come together to help Oklahomans in their biggest time of need. It’s critical that Enid has every resource at our disposal to help the recovery efforts in the coming weeks.

Today, we honor and remember the precious lives that were lost in the Oklahoma City Bombing. The victims, their families, and their loved ones will be in our hearts forever.

[Frank Lucas @RepFrankLucas]

As Americans file their taxes today, I am grateful for @POTUS’s leadership in passing the Working Families Tax Cuts Act last July. This bill prevented a 24% tax hike on Oklahomans, the largest in history. That means Americans will keep more of their hard-earned money.

[Frank Lucas @RepFrankLucas]

As Chairman of the Task Force on Treasury Market Resilience, I welcome the finalization of this cross-margining program by the @SECGov and @CFTC to clients, which will allow for the efficient implementation of mandatory clearing of U.S. Treasuries. I have been encouraging the agencies to take up this reform in advance of the clearing rule’s effective date and in coordination with the Treasury and the prudential regulators. This change ensures margin requirements reflect actual risk exposure and will increase market liquidity for the most important market in the world. I look forward to working with @SECPaulSAtkins and @ChairmanSelig on this reform, and others, to strength and bolster the Treasury market.
