FISA contributes to the president's daily security briefing and thwarts terror attacks on a regular basis — saving thousands of American lives. By refusing to reauthorize this crucial tool — even after President Trump put forward a well-qualified nominee to lead ODNI — Senate Democrats are playing dangerous games with U.S. national security. As one of the only members who has actually worked with FISA prior to joining Congress, I raised the alarms about what is at stake.

⚽🏆The wait is over, but the work doesn’t stop. The 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament has officially begun. As we welcome fans from across the globe, Special Events Task Force Chairman @RepMcCaul & Ranking Member @RepNellie reflected on their bipartisan oversight of security preparations for the matches held in the U.S. and the importance of ensuring the public and private sectors work together to provide a safe and secure experience for all in attendance. Read their full statements and more on the Task Force’s work: homeland.house.gov/2026/06/1…

I am relieved that today — after more than 4 months of Democrats' obstruction — Republicans finally funded ICE and CBP, both of which play crucial roles in defending our homeland. With only two days left until the first @FIFAWorldCup match, DHS must be operating at full capacity to detect potential threats and protect American lives.

When I visited the Dalai Lama, he told me: "I will not be reborn in China; I will be reborn in freedom." My amendment would honor that wish by helping to ensure the decision about the Dalai Lama's successor rests with him and his people — not with the Chinese Communist Party.

With the @FIFAWorldCup kicking off this week, it’s important to remember that big crowds mean planning matters. As chairman of @HomelandGOP's Special Events Task Force, I joined @FEMA in urging the public to prepare for potential emergencies. Let’s be #ReadyTogether. 👇 Visit Ready.gov for more resources.

As I said on @ThisWeekABC, if I can help Ukraine and deter Putin's continued aggression, I'm in on that fight. Watch the full interview on Ukraine, Iran, FISA reauthorization, and more. ⬇️

The CCP will wield any tool at its disposal — including coercion of "private" companies like Alibaba, Baidu, and BYD — to build and improve its military apparatus. I commend the president and @DeptofWar for highlighting the threat these companies pose to our nation. Additionally, I urge the admin to build on this momentum by adding them to the Commerce Department's Entity List — ensuring American money does not prop up the CCP's war machine.
The Pentagon identified some of China’s biggest companies including Alibaba, BYD and Baidu as entities that support the Chinese military, in a move that risks provoking new friction with the government in Beijing bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

As one of the only members who worked with FISA warrants before joining Congress, I know how critical FISA is. By holding it hostage, Democrats are playing dangerous, political games with U.S. national security. Forcing our intelligence community to go dark right now would be grossly irresponsible.

On June 6, 1944, the Allied Forces stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe & defeat tyranny. More than 2,500 Americans made the ultimate sacrifice. Today, we remember the heroism & sacrifice of the Greatest Generation, whose immense bravery led good to prevail over evil.

My father—a B-17 bombardier—helped prepare Operation Overlord by bombing the airfields of Normandy. Like so many members of that generation, he was both incredibly brave and deeply humble. He was my personal hero, who inspired me to pursue a life of public service. Watch the interview I gave Fox News about his legacy on the 75th anniversary of D-Day. ⬇️

I have always supported regular order. However, the members of the House of Representatives decided the Ukraine Support Act should come to the floor and be given a vote of conscience. For the past four years, Russia has committed war crimes against the country of Ukraine — from raping women to killing innocent civilians to kidnapping children and sending them to the frontlines. In recent days, Putin has only increased his barbaric attacks — which include the use of three hypersonic missiles fired at Kyiv — reiterating his utter disdain for peace. Today’s bipartisan vote sends a strong message to Ukraine that we support them and a clear message to Putin that we stand against Russian tyranny.

As chairman of @HomelandGOP's Special Events Task Force, I've worked closely with @DHSgov & @WHTaskForceFIFA to bolster our security posture at this summer's games. With the first @FIFAWorldCup match in just 1 week, I asked @SecMullinDHS if he believes our nation is prepared. ⬇️

When the Biden administration abdicated its federal duty to secure the homeland, Texas stood in the gap — spending $11.1 billion on Operation Lone Star to defend this nation and its borders. Our state bore the brunt of the chaos and suffering caused by the open border crisis, which is why I proudly fought to secure federal funding to pay Texas back. After months of delays, I’m glad to see the program moving forward and hope Texas’ role as a front line of defense for our nation throughout those four years is heavily considered during the award process. Texans should never have been forced to foot the bill for President Biden’s dereliction of duty; it’s time to set things right.
The federal fund Texas has been waiting on to seek reimbursement for border security costs is now open. bit.ly/3PT0xqB

Congratulations to Grimes County & Judge Fauth on moving to proceed with @SpaceX’s visionary Terafab project. This cutting-edge semiconductor facility will not only bring a massive economic boost to Texas’ 10th district, but it will also bolster U.S. national security for years to come by ensuring more chips are made in America!
Grimes County commissioners, on four to one votes, approve three agreements that pave the way for SpaceX to build a multibillion dollar semiconductor plant. wtaw.com/?p=178051

Every president has said a nuclear Iran is unacceptable. In 2023, the vast majority of Dems even voted for my resolution saying we must "use any means necessary" to prevent its nuclearization. At today's hearing with @SecRubio, I highlighted how the admin backs words with action.

The data speaks for itself: @HouseGOP's Working Families Tax Cuts brought major relief to low- & middle-income households, with 96% of those receiving cuts making <200K. Hardworking Texans can now keep more of what they rightfully earn. Proud to have supported this historic bill!
NEW: Treasury just released the data on the first filing season under the Working Families Tax Cuts. The results are clear. 97% of filers got a tax cut. That’s $82 billion back in Americans' pockets. 🧵

For decades, Scott has served as a pillar of the Bryan-College Station community. He has always been a tough but fair host, with a wealth of knowledge about local, federal, & global issues. While his voice will be missed, I wish him and his family all the best in this new season!
