The timeline makes it clear that Anthony Fauci leveraged his connections with the intelligence community to obstruct their findings about the origins of COVID. Dr. Fauci wanted us to believe COVID began naturally. In reality, the pandemic started from an accidental lab leak in Wuhan.

In private, Francis Collins had no problem admitting that he and Fauci helped with the Proximal Origin paper.

Francis Collins said he & Fauci helped edit the Proximal Origin paper “but are appropriately not mentioned explicitly in the paper."

The power of the purse belongs with Congress.

Two-hundred and fifty years later, Congress should embrace our heritage by passing legislation like the No Taxation Without Representation Act, introduced by @SenRandPaul.
His bill and similar proposals requiring Congress to vote on tariffs are needed to fend off new threats to our freedom to trade, including the unprecedented expansion of Section 301 tariffs.

The future of college sports shouldn't be written in Washington. My Collegiate Sports Integrity Act removes antitrust liability and lets the real stakeholders decide what's next. @Outkick

We have further proof that Dr. Fauci had deep connections to the intelligence agencies. When COVID-19 came about, he leveraged those connections to steer the intelligence community away from the idea that a lab leak took place at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. We now know a lab leak is likely what occurred.

This is concerning. We need to stop borrowing against our children and grandchildren’s future and start balancing the budget.

My End Welfare for Noncitizens Act would prevent Americans’ hard-earned dollars from flowing to illegal aliens in the form of welfare benefits. Stories like this would become a thing of the past.

Dr. Fauci needs to answer for utilizing his connections in the intelligence agency to steer the official narrative on the origins of COVID. He used those connections to dispel the lab leak "theory" that ended up being fact.

I already introduced a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship. Let's get this done!

I have proposed a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship. Cases like this are not what the 14th Amendment was intended for.

Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes.
No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.

Anthony Fauci’s ties to the community date back almost 20 years. He used those connections to help orchestrate the “Proximal Origin” paper, which publicly dismissed the lab leak theory and pushed the narrative that COVID-19 emerged naturally.
During the Biden administration’s 90-day review of the pandemic, Fauci once again used those intelligence connections to dismiss the idea that COVID originated accidentally as a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
People died because of Dr. Fauci’s lies.

I couldn’t agree more. In fact, we could get this done with my Six Penny Plan. All we would have to do is cut 6 cents from every dollar the federal government spends. In 5 years, we’d have a balanced budget.

Is everyone paying attention? We have just SIX YEARS before Social Security is insolvent.
Congress needs to stop burning money on fraud and crappy programs, balance the budget, and PROTECT Social Security so we can keep our promises to American seniors.

It was an honor to stand alongside @POTUS today as he signed the Secure America Act into law, which provides $69.5 billion in funding for ICE and Border Patrol through the end of his term.
Under my leadership on HSGAC, Senate Republicans helped deliver this monumental win for the American people.

For years, I've warned about the NIH's lack of accountability. Now, new documents reveal alarming biosafety failures and alleged misconduct involving dangerous pathogens. Taxpayers deserve transparency, and I'll keep fighting to get answers.

For years, these two NIH scientists allegedly smuggled monkeypox from the Republic of Congo, lying to investigators about what they did. To make matters even worse, they spent years skirting the rules for transporting dangerous pathogens.
Jun 9
NIH researchers charged with allegedly smuggling viral pathogens into the United States previously flew or planned to fly viral samples to the country, according to newly released emails.
Claude Kwe, who worked under Vincent Munster at the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, brought DNA from 35 samples that tested positive for monkeypox in 2024. Kwe wrote that they were eager to perform full genome sequencing on these samples, which contained or were derived from a select agent.
Munster separately discussed shipping samples of a monkeypox strain called the Congo Basin clade in 2022. In other emails, researchers discussed coronavirus samples, including having the Omicron variant brought to the United States without NIH shipping involvement. An outside researcher also proposed that Munster hand carry samples from Africa.
Sen. Rand Paul released the emails and stated that NIH scientists charged with attempting to smuggle monkeypox had a years-long history of skirting rules for moving dangerous pathogens. Federal prosecutors accused Kwe and Munster of smuggling monkeypox from the Republic of Congo and lying to investigators.
Emails from 2012 showed the NIH mislabeling a shipment of MERS coronavirus as diagnostic rather than infectious.
