Congress has sole authority to decide when and how we go to war, which is why I introduced a resolution to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program by July 30 without putting boots on the ground or dragging America into another endless war. Learn more at barrett.house.gov/iran.

This week, I joined colleagues on the @HouseVetAffairs and @SVACGOP committees to introduce the Take Care of America's Veterans Act — historic legislation combining more than 60 bipartisan bills, including the Major Richard Star Act and 8 that I introduced.

I was proud to help introduce the Jewish American Security Act (JASA) to combat the dangerous rise of antisemitism we are seeing at synagogues, schools, community centers, and online. Jewish communities deserve to feel safe, and this bipartisan legislation gives law enforcement the tools they need and holds bad actors accountable. jewishinsider.com/2026/06/go…

I was proud to convene today's @HouseVetAffairs subcommittee on Technology Modernization field hearing right here in mid-Michigan to hear directly from Michiganders about how we can continue improving VA care and expand access to community health care providers for all our veterans.

It was great to host @ClementsJeff, the CEO and co-founder of @usapromise, in my Washington office today to discuss my Constitutional Campaign Finance Reform Amendment. American Promise is bringing together people from across the political spectrum to get this amendment passed, and I’m grateful for their support!

It’s been almost four months since Democrats cut off funding for border security and immigration enforcement. Today, we’re finally funding efforts to secure the border and stop fentanyl from crossing our border. ⬇️

Campaign spending is out of control, and Americans are rightfully tired of a system that puts such an emphasis on fundraising and campaigning. The bills I introduced last week to Reform Campaign Finance will increase transparency, reduce undue influence, and help restore trust in our elections.

Thank you to @usapromise for supporting my Constitutional Campaign Finance Reform Amendment. It’s time to curb the outsized role that money has in our elections and give the power back to the people.
U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett has introduced House Joint Resolution 191, a constitutional amendment to restore the authority of Congress and the states to set reasonable rules for money in elections while protecting free speech. 🔗bit.ly/4vrCRZi

Today, we remember the brave American and Allied troops who landed on the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. Their courage and sacrifice helped secure our victory over evil in World War II and preserved freedom for generations to come. We will never forget them.

Earlier this week, I met with local leaders in Clinton County to discuss the $2.5 million federal investment I secured that will help repair and improve Chandler Road. Investments like these help strengthen our infrastructure, improve safety, and support the long-term growth of our communities. wilx.com/2026/06/03/clinton-…

Thank you to the over 3,000 people who joined my interactive town hall this evening. I appreciated the thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and meaningful conversation. Hearing directly from members of our community helps shape the work I do every day, and I am grateful to everyone who took time out of their evening to participate.
