Markwayne Mullin, U.S. Senator representing Oklahoma and a member of the Republican Party, shared updates on gas prices and national security via his social media account on December 16, 2025.
In a post from that morning, Mullin commented on seasonal fuel costs: “Gas prices continue to DROP this Christmas season, leaving more money in your pocket! If you’re coming to Norman for the big @OU_Football vs @AlabamaFTBL playoff game on Friday night, you can fill up your tank in OKC for $1.89/gallon.” (December 16, 2025).
Later that day, Mullin referenced recent military actions during a bipartisan briefing: “Just walked out of the 22nd bipartisan briefing from @SecWar and @SecRubio on the strikes against designated narco-terrorists trying to kill Americans. 23 lawful kinetic strikes have killed 95 narco-terrorists who target Americans. The media is flipping out. Let’s talk about” (December 16, 2025).
He followed up with another statement regarding foreign threats: “If you’re a foreign terrorist who makes his money poisoning American families with deadly narcotics, I have zero problem with the President of the United States sending you to the bottom of the ocean.” (December 16, 2025).
