A Sonic Blast sounds pretty good rn, ngl! An arctic blast, not so much. Bigtime snow across the northern half of the state, more sleet and ice to the south. EVERYBODY gets the dangerous cold, though, with wind chills from -10 to -20! https://t.co/S0zmtLHmwU

You should be preparing now for a significant winter storm to impact you with a good chance of 6-12 inches of snow or significant ice, at times near white-out conditions, impassable roads, and life-threatening cold. https://t.co/S0zmtLHmwU

1/7th of our 35 January tornadoes occurred last Thursday with a preliminary count of 5, and nearly half have come in the last 7 years. The spring severe weather season towers over the rest of the year, however. No secret there! https://t.co/S0zmtLHUms

This is a big first step towards making our roads safer and using modern technologies to prevent crashes and improve infrastructure on roads across the U.S. Thanks @JohnBoozman @SenAlexPadilla @RepMann and @RepDavids for your leadership!
Roadway safety is strongest when risks are identified before serious incidents occur. My bipartisan bill helps states use proven, data-driven tools to identify risks early, prevent crashes and make smarter investments that save lives. https://t.co/3IS2r1zMh9

Happy Statehood Day! 118 years ago today, President Theodore Roosevelt signed a proclamation declaring that Oklahoma was to join the Union as the 46th state. Off the second-floor balcony of The State Capital Publishing Building in Guthrie, a gun was fired as the announcement was

Do you know why cities need sales taxes? Sales taxes enable our city to pay for personnel, equipment, infrastructure, & other operational costs. In Oklahoma, this is vital revenue as operational costs cannot be funded by property taxes. Vote on Nov. 18! https://t.co/KNuyYGtrBL

"I think keeping the government open for the American people and negotiating in good faith on bills where we are close to getting done and moving it through regular order is the right thing to do. I think provoking a government shut down is the wrong thing to do." - Chairman

We have the modern technology to help drive down the 40,000 annual deaths on America’s roads. It’s time we get this in the hands of states.

America’s road safety strategy needs to be modernized with better data, tools and outcomes to prevent the nearly 40,000 fatalities per year.

After working closely with DOGE and the Administration, I am thrilled to announce that common sense has prevailed, as the National Weather Center in Norman, the Social Security Administration Office in Lawton, and the Indian Health Services Office in Oklahoma City will remain

Ryan was an amazingly unique Oklahoman who helped give a voice to the voiceless and was a class act. Working with him was an absolute pleasure and he will be missed. While we didn’t agree politically his perspective and knowledge helped make better policy.
Ryan Kiesel was a state rep when I signed up to intern at the Capitol during college. I didn’t know who he was when I was assigned to his office, but working for him changed my life & earned a lifelong friend. He’s gone far too soon & I, for one, am better for having known him.

The CR passes!

Small Business Saturday is coming up, and it’s time to support the small businesses we have all across the state. When you buy local, 68% of your money stays in the local economy compared to the 43% that stays local when you shop at a corporate chain. See you on Main Street soon!

Thanks Mr. Pro Tem for your leadership and friendship
Serving in the state Senate has been the honor and privilege of a lifetime. I appreciate those who have been by my side throughout this journey, especially my wife @MKTreat. Without the support and encouragement from her, my family and many others, it wouldn’t have been possible.
