Never forget…
We are at our best when we are “one nation, under God, and indivisible.”

Twenty-five years ago, America suffered the deadliest foreign attack on American soil in our nation’s history.

I, like most Americans who lived through that day, remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the horror, helplessness, and anger of watching our country come under attack. But I also remember the tremendous pride and gratitude I felt as an American witnessing the courage, selflessness, and resolve shown by our fellow countrymen.

At the time, I was working for President Bush in the White House, and I remember watching him meet that horrific moment with tremendous compassion, decisiveness, and resolve.

I remember running out of the White House amid reports of a plane heading toward us. I remember the surreal feeling of being under siege as I watched smoke billowing from the Pentagon and fighter jets scrambling overhead.

I remember gathering with White House staff on the South Lawn to pray for our country. In the aftermath, I remember lining the hallway outside the Oval Office as victims’ families walked out of a meeting with the President, everyone in tears.

I remember watching the footage and listening to the voicemails of those who lost their lives that day.

I remember our country uniting in grief and with a oneness of purpose. I remember people turning to God for comfort and strength. I remember Americans, regardless of their politics, standing proud of our country.

More than anything, I remember feeling like we were truly one nation, under God, and indivisible. And it was powerful beyond words.

Never forget.

Medicare and Medicaid have become open cash registers for criminal enterprises. As we speak, taxpayers are being charged for equipment never delivered, services never performed, and treatments patients never needed.

Happy birthday, Secretary Bessent!

Grateful for your strong leadership and heartfelt service to our great nation. Thank you for all your efforts to Make America Prosperous Again!

And, the best is yet to come!

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and fellow Texan, Kay Granger.

From serving as Fort Worth's first female mayor to becoming the first Republican woman from Texas elected to Congress, Kay lived a pioneering life and a career of service defined by the values of the Lone Star State - toughness, tenacity, and an unwavering commitment to the people she represented.

Please join me in praying for her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

🚨 The Senate should not delay the SNAP state benefit cost-share requirement.

States make more than $10 billion in erroneous SNAP payments every year, and the national payment error rate has nearly doubled since 2019. The problem is only getting worse.

The One Big Beautiful Bill brings SNAP in line with other federally funded, state-administered programs, requiring states with the highest payment error rates to have skin in the game by sharing a modest portion of benefit costs.

That's commonsense accountability, stronger program integrity, and better stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

With our national debt exceeding $39 trillion, we must stay committed to fiscal responsibility—not cave to Democrat demands to weaken accountability, waste taxpayer dollars meant to serve vulnerable Americans, and further fuel our debt crisis.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Way to go, House GOP!

Senate Republicans…this is our moment!

• Rec 1.0 = passing historic tax and spending cuts
• Rec 2.0 = breaking Democrat obstruction and opening up Homeland Security
• Rec 3.0 = supporting our troops, securing our elections, and SAVING AMERICA! 🇺🇸
