Protecting taxpayer dollars means protecting our safety net programs for the vulnerable Americans who actually need them.

We need to declare war on fraud in the people’s government.

I will never stop fighting to ensure our warfighters have what they need to succeed on the battlefield, our veterans receive the support and resources they deserve, and the Big Country remains at the forefront of America’s national defense mission.

From securing Dyess as the future home of the B-21 Raider and protecting the B-1 mission through 2030, to delivering year after year of historic investments in infrastructure and modernization, strengthening and safeguarding Dyess’ mission for generations to come has remained one of my top priorit...

Reese Hamsmith’s life and legacy continue to save lives.

After Reese tragically passed away from swallowing a button battery, her mother, Trista, turned unimaginable grief into a mission to protect other children.

I was honored to help lead Reese’s Law in Congress to strengthen safety standards for button batteries, including clearer warning labels, child resistant packaging, and more secure placement in products.

Thank you to KCBD NewsChannel 11 for sharing Trista’s story and Reese’s Purpose. Because of this West Texas mom on a mission, children across America will be safer.

For 75 days, Democrats have kept Department of Homeland Security shut down. House Democrats had 17 opportunities to stand with the men and women who risk their lives for our ports, our borders, and other critical infrastructure.

Today, House Republicans acted to end this reckless shutdown and restore critical operations to DHS, while using reconciliation to fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the next three years. This will prevent the Democrats from shutting down the government and defunding ICE in the future and provide our agents the resources they need to secure the border, enforce the law, and protect our communities.

After four years of lawlessness under Democrats and President Biden and 75 days of Democrat dysfunction, Republicans are restoring order and putting the safety and security of this country first.

My heart is heavy with grief over the passing of my friend, Chad Hasty.

Chad was the consummate professional, a man of faith, and a true patriot. We had a lot of interviews over the last ten years, and I could always count on him to be fair, insightful, and just down to earth. He often spoke of his family, which was the love of his life.

I’ll miss him dearly. He was more than just a radio personality and political pundit, he was a dear friend.

Republicans are fighting to fund Department of Homeland Security and support the men and women who defend our homeland. Here’s what Democrats are fighting for...

Democrats have spent more than 70 days holding the Department of Homeland Security and our national security hostage, pushing reckless demands that would weaken U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection and return our nation to the chaos and lawlessness we suffered under their open border disaster.

Enough is enough. Republicans are using reconciliation to fund our government, provide for the common defense, and back the men and women who protect our homeland.

I’m testifying at the House Committee on Rules - Republicans now. Watch my opening statement here.

America has the best doctors, the best medical technology, and the most innovative care in the world. Yet too often, patients are stuck with high costs and a system that lacks transparency and competition, ultimately leading to poor quality of care.

and I discussed how consolidation and anti-competitive behavior are driving up costs, and how we can work together to fix it - including implementing my Better Deals and Lower Prices Act that I was proud to pass into law earlier this year, delivering long-overdue transparency and accountability to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to help restore competition and bring down costs.

We’re going to keep working to deliver lower prices, lower premiums, and a system that works for both patients and taxpayers.

I’m proud President Trump is defending our homeland and protecting the American people from serious and imminent threats.
