June 12, 1987. President Reagan faced down the Soviet empire with one weapon: American strength. The wall came down, the Cold War ended, and peace followed. Strength keeps the peace. It always has!

I am saddened to hear about the passing of former Orlinda Assistant Fire Chief Nancy Johnson. A lifelong public servant, she made a lasting impact on her community through her dedicated service. My prayers are with her family, friends, and the residents of Orlinda. smokeybarn.com/former-orlind…

Nearly 40 million families have claimed the Working Families Tax Cut’s enhanced Child Tax Credit. This provision is putting more money back in the pockets of hardworking families.

⚽🏆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.

Another year, another win. @HouseGOP brought home its sixth straight Congressional Baseball Game victory while helping raise a record $3.2 million for charity. Proud to be part of a tradition that supports great causes and gives Congress a chance to compete somewhere other than the House floor.

Under the Biden administration, American energy was crippled by “green” policies, ESG requirements, and progressive special-interest groups. Coal, natural gas, and hydro-powered electricity plants were at risk of closure, tracking us toward a massive energy shortfall. This anti-growth mindset prevented us from harnessing America’s abundance, leading to energy scarcity and rendering us dependent on foreign nations for energy. Under the Trump administration, and Secretary Wright’s leadership, we have reversed course. Watch my remarks at @housescience's Department of @ENERGY budget hearing with @SecretaryWright ⤵️

Democrats defend bigger government. Republicans demand better government. House Republicans are cracking down on waste and fraud because every dollar lost is a dollar taken from a working parent or a family trying to get ahead.

Democrats accomplished nothing with their shutdown antics, but now Republicans have successfully funded ICE and CBP for three years. This will ensure our borders stay secure and our immigration laws are enforced.
Last night I voted to fully fund CBP and ICE. Under the Biden administration, the illegal alien population in our country increased to an estimated 14 million people. That’s double the population of Tennessee! This legislation is really important as these professionals go out and safeguard our communities and enforce the laws passed by Congress.

Yesterday, I introduced the Critical Infrastructure Airspace Defense Act. This legislation, introduced by @SenTomCotton in the Senate, will enhance security at critical infrastructure sites, including hospitals, power plants, water treatment facilities, chemical processing facilities, and dams.

🧵 THE BORDER IS NOW DEMOCRAT-PROOFED House Republicans OFFICIALLY secured border security funding for the rest of President Trump's term, ending Democrats' ability to hold ICE and Border Patrol hostage during spending fights.
