The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a powerful symbol of Christ’s love, mercy, and sacrifice. Blessed to support @RepRileyMoore’s resolution honoring this important devotion and the role the Catholic faith continues to play around the world.
Yesterday, @USCCB consecrated our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart, I will introduce a resolution to officially recognize that great sign of Our Lord's love. Let’s reclaim June for Jesus’ Sacred Heart 🧵

Only 23% of @ChiPubSchools fourth graders are proficient in reading and only 24% can do basic math. Apparently, radical political activism is more important to some people than making sure our nation’s students can read and count. American children deserve better!

Today, Chicago Public Schools CEO Dr. Macquline King testified before Congress. Among the evidence: a CPS permission slip identifying a student field trip to a May Day demonstration as a political protest—with students transported on taxpayer-funded buses. NAVI was first to expose this protest along with @NateFriedman97, and provided the documentation to Congress, including the permission slip @repfine referenced during the hearing and the preceding line of questioning from @RepMessmer. This is the critical work NAVI does: exposing ideological indoctrination in our schools and reclaiming K–12 education for American civic values.

.@ChiPubSchools gave students a day off & paid for buses & lunches so they could protest w/ the Teachers Unions against American values. Democrats need to stop using children and abusing their rights! Taxpayers deserve that schools are safe from leftist political activism!

I am proud to vote with my @HouseGOP colleagues to secure funding for our southern border and to give @ICEgov and @CBP the support they need to keep Americans safe!
.@POTUS delivered the MOST SECURE BORDER in modern history. @HouseGOP is making sure it stays that way by fully funding ICE, Border Patrol, and the law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe. We’re not letting Democrats drag America back to open borders.

Kratos was honored to gather with our teammates on Capitol Hill last week in support of the MACH‑TB program, purposed in driving affordability and increasing the cadence of hypersonic flight testing to once per week. MACH‑TB is accelerating the transition of next‑generation hypersonic technologies to the warfighter, and we’re proud to lead Task Area 1 alongside an incredible team of government and industry partners. Thank you to U.S. Representative @RepMessmer (IN‑8), our MACH‑TB teammates and supporters, and our Kratos team members for championing this mission and the nation’s hypersonic test enterprise. The work ahead is critical, and we’re just getting started.

America cannot allow waste, fraud, and abuse to poison our federal child care programs. That's why I introduced legislation in the Stop Child Care Scams Act to make sure there is better transparency and increased oversight to protect precious taxpayer dollars.

My @CFTC Protection of Information and Data Act eliminates loopholes in the law so US regulators can better investigate fraud and protect consumers, farmers, businesses, and investors. Americans deserve to have their hard-earned dollars protected from cheaters and thieves!
