Senator Markwayne Mullin, representing Oklahoma, posted a series of statements on July 16, 2025, regarding the progress and content of the Trump rescissions bill currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate.
In a post made at 13:40 UTC, Mullin provided an update on recent legislative developments: “You guys saw, we cleared two procedural hurdles on the Trump rescissions bill last night. I voted yes, @VP broke the tie. Here’s where we stand: @SenateGOP will convene at 10am to resume the Rescissions Act of 2025. ‘Vote-a-rama’ expected to begin around 1:30pm ET. (More”.
Later that day at 15:48 UTC, Mullin commented on the scope and impact of the legislation: “The rescissions bill is less than 5 pages in length and represents 0.001% of the federal budget. We’re 37 trillion in debt. If Dems want to threaten a shut down over cutting ‘gender diversity in the Mexican street lighting industry’… they can explain that to their voters.”
At 16:12 UTC, Mullin continued his critique of certain federal spending priorities and reiterated his political stance: “1) We’re 100% America First. 2) See map. Oklahomans aren’t buying anything you’re selling. 3) If you think our taxpayers want to fund Voter ID in Haiti and LGBTQ stuff in Uganda… knock yourself out defending this waste. I encourage it. Thanks for the follow.”
The Trump rescissions bill refers to proposed legislation aimed at canceling previously approved government spending through a process known as “rescission.” Such bills are often introduced as part of broader efforts to reduce federal expenditures or signal fiscal restraint by Congress and the administration.
Senator Markwayne Mullin has represented Oklahoma since January 2023 after serving five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.
