In today's @HomelandGOP hearing, I called on my Democrat colleagues to join me in advancing legislation that would strengthen federal penalties for doxxing, threatening, or intimidating federal law enforcement officers. Those who put their lives on the line to protect our nation deserve our support. Congress must act to put an end to this harassment.

I spent some time this afternoon with Mayor Blong, Sheriff Criner, and Police Chief Snow after the tragic act of violence that took place in Midland today. I am grateful for local, state, and federal law enforcement who secured the scene and the many officers who engaged in a prolonged standoff. Many heroic actions were undertaken today to protect the community. The medical teams assisting the wounded also saved many lives today and we are thankful for their dedicated care. Please continue to pray for all of the victims and their loved ones.

I am actively monitoring the tragic shooting that occurred in Midland this morning. Extremely grateful for the bravery of local law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to protect our community. Please join me in lifting all of the victims up in prayer.

I’m proud to lead the effort in Congress to award the Medal of Honor to Maj Robert Lodge and am thrilled that legislation to posthumously recognize Major Lodge passed the House Armed Services Committee last week. Major Lodge made the ultimate sacrifice to protect highly classified intelligence sources and methods during the Vietnam War and knew he could not fall into enemy hands. His valor stands as an outstanding example of the courage found in our cockpits. Watch General @Deptula_David and I discuss the importance of awarding Major Lodge the Medal of Honor:

Appreciate the very kind words from my friend AND former Chairman, @SpeakerJohnson. Proud to carry the touch forward at the @RepublicanStudy Committee.
🔥 @SpeakerJohnson: "Chairman @RepPfluger uses precision in everything he does. He is the chair of the largest caucus in Congress, the intellectual arsenal of conservatism."

Thank you to the Texas A&M College of Medicine and Rural Medicine Program for meeting with me in my Washington office. I appreciate all of their work to help close the healthcare coverage gap in Texas-11. We greatly appreciate their advocacy and look forward to our continued partnership.

Proud to support @RepBurgessOwens' No Aid for Ghost Students Act. Federal student aid is meant to help students pay for college, not go to bad actors looking to exploit the system.
Taxpayers deserve confidence that every dollar spent by the federal government is protected from waste, fraud, and abuse. When fraudsters exploit federal student aid programs, taxpayers foot the bill, and legitimate students lose out. Very grateful my No Aid For Ghost Students just passed the House.

As a former fighter pilot and now retired Colonel in the Air Force, increasing American Airpower is one of my top priorities. Congress must recognize the need to recapitalize our force, and I'm proud to help lead the charge.

It’s always great having Texans in D.C.—especially when they’re friends of Congressman @PeteSessions. Thank you to the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce for your time to hear about the work we’re doing at the @RepublicanStudy Committee to deliver for our business communities. We have the momentum, and we will continue the work to keep America competitive.

For years, the Left surrendered our border to chaos and held crucial funding hostage every chance they got. Through the Secure America Act, Republicans are delivering strong border security measures to keep communities safe through the remainder of President Trump's term. This bill invests $70 billion in the Border Patrol agents and ICE officers taking down cartels, stopping human traffickers, and keeping bad actors off America’s streets. The Democrats chose open borders, so Republicans are using reconciliation, the most powerful tool available to circumvent obstruction, to finish the job without them.
