The House just passed legislation to slash over $9 BILLION in waste, fraud, and abuse AND end taxpayer funding for NPR, PBS, and USAID. Americans' hard-earned money shouldn't be used to bankroll leftist propaganda and organizations that act contrary to U.S. interests at home.

Finally, UPenn is taking historic lengths to end its egregious violation of Title IX and restore the rightful accolades its female athletes earned. I am thankful for the Trump Administration's tireless work to right this wrong. It's critical we ensure women's sports are protected.

Vice President JD Vance just cast the last vote to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill in the Senate! . Now, let’s get to work to pass President Trump’s agenda for the American people in the House.

Three years ago today, SCOTUS returned the decision of abortion to the voters by overturning Roe v. Wade. I’m encouraged by the progress we've made to defederalize this horrific act that has robbed millions of unborn children of their God-given right to life.
