Wonderful to see the positive impact of Trump Accounts right here in Kern County. Thanks to the generosity of our community, local newborns will receive an even greater head start on their financial future. Trump Accounts are a fantastic investment in the next generation. I am proud to support this effort in Congress, and even prouder to see their impact here at home.

Great meeting with the International Fresh Produce Association and Grimmway Farms, a Central Valley leader in fresh produce. We discussed water infrastructure and how to keep the Central Valley, the backbone of America’s fresh produce supply, strong for generations to come. I’ll keep fighting to make sure our farmers have the resources they need to keep feeding this nation.

Great discussion with the Business Software Alliance on building an AI-ready workforce and expanding pathways into cybersecurity, science, technology, and other in-demand careers.

Student aid is for students. Not criminals. But schools are facing a growing problem from ghost students - fraudsters who use fake identities to enroll in classes and steal federal aid. Last year, I signed a letter to the Dept. of Education calling it out. Today, I voted to pass the No Aid for Ghost Students Act through the House.

Gavin Newsom’s policies created an energy crisis with declining oil and gas production and the loss of needed infrastructure. This hurts Californians and puts our national security and military readiness at risk. We used to be energy dominant. Now, we’re reliant on foreign nations like Iraq. I appreciate @SecretaryWright and his partnership to reverse this and help make California more energy secure.

Golden mussels pose a serious and growing threat to California's water supply, environment, and agricultural infrastructure due to their aggressive reproduction and ability to clog pipes and jam pumps. That's why I joined @RepVinceFong, @RepJimCosta, and @RepJoshHarder in sending a letter to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service urging the agency to take immediate action to contain this threat. We can't afford to let this invasive species spread further and jeopardize the systems our families, farmers, and communities rely on, and I'll continue working to prevent long-term damage to the Central Valley's water infrastructure.

Last night, an unmanned drone boat found two of our pilots floating in the waters off Oman and brought them home, marking the first time the U.S. has ever used an autonomous vessel for a real world rescue. That happened because we made the decision years ago to invest in this technology, and kept investing even when the results weren’t visible yet. China has already made that same bet at scale, with urgency, and without a doubt about whether it's worth it. Whoever wins the AI race controls how wars are fought, how fast decisions get made, and whether you can project power anywhere on earth without putting a crew in harm's way. Last night was a glimpse of what winning looks like. Most people saw a rescue, but I saw a weapons system, and a reminder of exactly how far behind we can't afford to fall.
The unmanned surface vessel, a Saronic Corsair, located the Apache crew, who had spent two hours in the waters off the coast of Oman and brought them to shore wsj.com/world/middle-east/ap… @jmalsin @shelbyholliday

Proud to cosponsor the DOMINANCE Act, which passed the House yesterday. China controls 70% of global rare earth mining and 90% of processing. That is an unacceptable vulnerability. This bipartisan bill breaks China's chokehold on critical minerals and secures America's supply chains. It's exactly the kind of action Washington should be taking, and I was proud to support it.

“The artificial-intelligence revolution shows that America’s technological progress and skilled workforce are still inseparable.” The future will be built by people, not algorithms. America must ensure we have a trained, talented, and prepared workforce to lead the way.
“Meta and our partners, including the Associated Builders and Contractors and the National Urban League, are…launching the largest private-sector commitment to the skilled trades in American history”. Congrats ⁦@DinaPowellMcC⁩ & Co.! Great! wsj.com/opinion/high-tech-se…

CA owes $23B in unemployment debt from the pandemic. Gavin Newsom won't pay it. He has spent billions on a failing high-speed rail nightmare & illegal immigrants while losing billions to fraudsters, but he refuses to protect our small businesses now forced to foot the bill for his fiscal folly. My CAL Repayment Act ends this. Sacramento made the mess. Sacramento must pay what it owes. nationalreview.com/2026/06/p…

Families, seniors on fixed incomes, those working overtime, and small businesses are who benefited most from the Working Families Tax Cut. By letting people keep what they earn, we’re putting more money back into the pockets of hard-working, everyday Americans. 🇺🇸💸

President Trump is bringing his ENERGY ADDITION agenda to California. Sable Offshore’s oil is flowing again — strengthening the United States’ national security and economy.

🎯@SecretaryBurgum: "The number 1 importer into CA on February 1 of this year was Iraq… They've [California] turned themselves into an energy desert, an energy island” Because of Newsom’s damaging policies, CA is forced to import 60% of our oil from overseas. We’re home to 30 critical military installations. Newsom’s policies don’t just harm Californian’s; they put our national security at risk. Thank you @SecretaryBurgum and @SecretaryWright for coming to CA to expose Newsom’s policies. foxbusiness.com/media/trump-…

Today we remember the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944 and changed the course of history. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to freedom will never be forgotten. God bless our Greatest Generation. God bless America.

It was great to have @SecretaryWright & @SecretaryBurgum in CA to see the consequences of Gavin Newsom's failed energy policies firsthand. While the Trump Admin is fighting to make America energy secure, Gavin Newsom is making CA dependent on foreign oil. Thank you to Secretaries Wright and Burgum for standing with CA’s energy producers and shining a spotlight on this crisis. It’s time to put affordability, reliability, and energy security back at the center of CA’s energy future.
