Chairman @RepBrianMast thanks @SecRubio for the substantial change in our foreign policy, finally America first in the foreign policy. “Thank you for choosing to kill those who have been attacking and killing us for over 47 years, specifically attacking us over 350 times in the 30 months prior to Operation Epic Fury.”

UFC has become a global phenomenon by embracing values that resonate far beyond the Octagon: excellence, discipline, opportunity, and meritocracy. Proud to launch a new Sports Diplomacy partnership with @UFC and grateful to host @DanaWhite for the signing of our MOU.

Chairman @RepBrianMast & @RepJimBaird: Nobody has done more to defend American ideals than those who put their lives on the line for our country. This amendment will make it easier for all Purple Heart and Medal of Honor recipients to travel by exempting their passport fees.

.@RepMoylan: Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang is the latest example of the Chinese Communist Party actively trying to harm America from within. This amendment directs the Secretary of State to develop a strategy to eliminate the ability of foreign adversaries to influence our local governments.

.@RepRonnyJackson: Diplomats are official representatives of our government, whose goal should be to advance American interests above those of global institutions. The training materials for Foreign Service officers should put America First and not serve the rest of the world.

.@RepSheriBiggs: Many men and women in arms have attained the skills required to be diplomats in ways that no Foreign Service exam can measure. This amendment will expand opportunities for veterans to serve our country in the State Department.

While Iran brazenly violates its nuclear agreements and fires ballistic missiles at our allies, Russia and China are shielding them at the UN. Total obstruction.

.@RepKeithSelf’s amendment will ensure that not one dime of taxpayer money used in the Foreign Service Act will go towards funding abortions abroad at any capacity. This is about fiscal responsibility and keeps our foreign policy firmly focused.

China is months away from exporting its first small modular reactor. @RepJimBaird and @RepGregoryMeeks agree that this amendment ensures the U.S. takes the technological lead. It's time to supply our diplomats with the tools to promote American civil nuclear tech around the world.

Commerce promotes trade. State does diplomacy. These are two different things. But today, Foreign Service Officers are being asked to serve as commercial diplomats without the training to do it. Both parties strongly agree it is time to change that.

Chairman @RepBrianMast & Rep. Chris Smith: Justice delayed is justice denied. The killer of a WWII veteran evaded justice and now lives in Portugal, which refuses to extradite him. This amendment creates a pathway to ensure justice is finally served. Listen to the story here:

Chairman @RepBrianMast: In 2024, 295 @StateDept employees were denied promotions under Biden, not for performance, but for lacking ”diversity commitment." @RepRonnyJackson's amendment makes sure performance and skill determines who serves and who advances, not DEI ideology.

Chairman @RepBrianMast: UNRWA is one of the UN's biggest examples of waste and fraud. Its own staff aided and abetted the terrorists behind the atrocious October 7 attacks. @RepRonnyJackson's amendment makes sure that Foreign Service Officers will have no interaction with UNRWA.

Chairman @RepBrianMast & @RepMikeLawler: Foreign Service Officers advance our national security and protect American interests abroad. @RepMikeLawler’s Foreign Service Modernization Act is long overdue, and will provide the tools the diplomats needs to combat today’s challenges.

Chairman @RepBrianMast & @RepFine: The rise of bigotry and hatred against Jewish people in Europe is troubling. By passing @RepFine's PEACE Act, we stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters who have been subjected to unjust attacks following the October 7 attack.

Chairman @RepBrianMast & @RepYoungKim: America cannot depend on China for vital resources that determine our military readiness. The House passed @RepYoungKim’s DOMINANCE Act to ensure that America and our allies shape the future of critical mineral supply chains.

Chairman @RepBrianMast: From the persecution of Christians in Nigeria to the CCP’s genocide against Uyghurs, far too many people are deprived of their God-given right to exercise their religion. That's why the House passed Rep. Chris Smith's bill to reauthorize @USCIRF.

The @StateDept made the right decision today to impose visa restrictions on 100 Nicaraguan officials.   The Murillo-Ortega dictatorship has robbed Nicaraguans of their freedom for far too long, and its corrupt and tyrannical regime has created crises across our hemisphere.
The Murillo-Ortega dictatorship is an enemy of humanity. The Trump Administration will not ignore their crimes and brutality, including the dictatorship’s singular role in the death of political opposition leader Brooklyn Rivera. Today, @StateDept took steps to impose visa restrictions on over 100 Nicaraguan officials who continue to carry out Murillo and Ortega’s malign agenda.
