Markwayne Mullin, a U.S. Senator known for his vocal support of former President Donald Trump, shared several updates on recent legislative activities through social media posts dated July 8, 2025. His statements reflect significant developments in tax policy and immigration stance.
On July 8, 2025, Mullin highlighted the passage of what he described as “the largest tax cut for working families and the middle-class in U.S. history” alongside permanent border security measures. He also mentioned ongoing efforts to confirm more nominees from the Trump administration and work on a rescissions package aimed at reducing unnecessary spending (“Last week, we passed the largest tax cut for working families and the middle-class in U.S. history and permanent border security…”).
Later that day, Mullin elaborated on the potential impact of not passing President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ (OBBB). He asserted that without this legislation, an average Oklahoman would face a $2,013 automatic tax increase in the following year. He emphasized that OBBB is crucial for restoring economic prosperity and providing opportunities for working families (“Had we NOT passed President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ the average Oklahoman would’ve seen a $2,013 automatic tax hike next year…”).
In another post on July 8, 2025, Mullin took a firm stance against amnesty for illegal aliens with a brief but clear statement (“No amnesty for illegal aliens.”).
