@HouseAppropsGOP
& House Ethics Committee
I confronted
@SecMayorkas
at the
@HouseAppropsGOP
FY25 DHS budget hearing about his failure to secure the border. His repeated lies and failure to do his job are why I voted to impeach him. I urge
@SenSchumer
to immediately hold an impeachment trial.
We owe an immense debt to the Greatest Generation veterans who fought on land, air, and sea to secure freedom for our country and the world during World War II. Today, we honor them and celebrate our victory over tyranny.

I spoke on the House Floor today in favor of HR 516 to protect two of America’s greatest pastimes – hunting & fishing – from the Biden Admin's senseless top-down federal regulations.
Let’s leave it to state & local authorities to decide what can & can’t be used on public lands.
No car driven in the U.S. should be used by a foreign government to surveil and endanger Americans.
That's why I pressed
