As global competitors race to dominate the technologies of the future, Congress must ensure that we remain the world leader in semiconductor production, space exploration, & advanced research.
My Semiconductor Superiority Act protects our competitive edge & drives innovation.

Throughout this congress, Democrats have jeopardized national security through gov shutdowns, refusing to fund law enforcement, & now blocking the surveillance of terrorists.
Section 702 of FISA is America's most powerful counterterrorism tool—today, Dems are letting it go dark.

Congress’s job should be to create every incentive for pilots to equip and enable ADS-B capabilities in flight to prevent tragic accidents in the sky. wsj.com/opinion/big-brother-…

Congratulations to the captain and crew of Marlin Fever for winning this year's Big Rock Tournament, reeling in a 919.9-pound blue marlin! The Big Rock Tournament in Morehead City has been a cherished NC tradition since 1957, and this year's winning catch smashed all records.

The Semiconductor Superiority Act eliminates uncertainty for American manufacturers regarding microgravity semiconductor technology, bolstering U.S. global competitiveness. We have the equipment, launch capacity, & advanced manufacturing to compete with China; no reason to stall.

Jay Clayton is a great choice to be the next @ODNIgov. I know him well, & I trust that he knows how to lead and reform our intelligence community. He brings a record of prosecuting terrorists & safeguarding this nation from its adversaries—exactly what our country needs.

Americans rely daily on semiconductor chips in smartphones, TVs, & ATMs. China has integrated space-based chip fabrication into its supply chain, risking U.S. dominance. My Semiconductor Superiority Act authorizes U.S. manufacturers to develop microgravity chip technology to compete with China. budd.senate.gov/2026/06/11/b…

Welcome to the coop, @VP Vance! 🐓
The best coops come from North Carolina—Family owned small business @CarolinaCoops is just one example of the business, innovation, and American ingenuity that make North Carolina special.
Vice President JD Vance put up a chicken coup outside the VP’s residence. A spokesperson tells me he will tend to the chickens. His kids already named the chicks. The coop was made by Carolina Coops, an American-owned small business which has been in business for 18 years. The owner Matt DuBoise pictured here after putting the coup up. #Chickens #FreshEggs #VP (pics courtesy Vice President Vance’s Office)

Nearly $300 million in @FEMA funds will head to North Carolina to help strengthen resilience against future disasters and accelerate the region’s long-term Helene recovery. This will greatly help our communities as they shoulder the immense financial burden of rebuilding. carolinajournal.com/fema-app…

By modernizing Pell Grant eligibility, we can open the door for millions of Americans to earn industry-recognized credentials and practical knowledge, reigniting the blue-collar boom in as little as 8 weeks.
For every 5 skilled trades workers who retire, only 2 replace them — putting us on track for a 2.1 million shortfall by 2030.
The good news: starting July 1, under our Workforce Pell program, Americans can gain new skills to earn family-sustaining wages in months, not years.

The Secure America Act puts an end to Democrats’ political games by fully funding ICE & Border Patrol and providing the resources needed to keep our border secure, stop the flow of deadly drugs, enforce our immigration laws, and keep Americans safe.
.@POTUS: "This morning, I'm thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term." 🇺🇸

Last month, the U.S. economy added a robust 172,000 jobs, including 7,000 in manufacturing—fueling a blue-collar boom. The Working Families @TaxCuts and our pro-growth policies are delivering for hardworking Americans. foxbusiness.com/economy/us-j…

As the World Cup kicks off & America marks its 250th, Democrats are threatening to leave us exposed during the largest events in U.S. history by blocking FISA 702.
The FISA 702 bill provides the tools our intel needs to keep Americans safe. We can't put politics over National Security.
Abuses carried out by rogue intelligence actors are among the main reasons I sought a spot on the Intel Committee & why I've always fought for meaningful change.
The FISA 702 bill before us builds on recent reforms & marks a major win for those of us who care about privacy.🧵⬇️

We are opening the door for millions of Americans to gain in-demand skills, increase access to skilled trades training, and build family-sustaining careers that unlock the American Dream for the next generation.
The average salary for a Registered Apprenticeship is $86,000 — that’s almost $20,000 more than a regular college graduate.
With more than 400,000 new Registered Apprenticeships, @USDOL is helping workers gain the skills to fill high-paying jobs.
A stronger economy starts with a skilled American workforce. 🇺🇸

Thankful our U.S. soldiers are safe & stable following a dramatic rescue off the coast of Oman. American military forces, including NC’s 82nd Airborne Division, used a first-of-its-kind unmanned maritime drone to swiftly bring the soldiers to safety.
God bless our troops.

Failure to reauthorize FISA Section 702 won’t just leave us vulnerable to threats—it would also mean the hard-fought reforms we’ve fought for over the years will disappear as well.

Throughout my time in Washington, I’ve fought to prevent FISA abuse & politicization. I've previously opposed reauthorizations that did not responsibly address long-standing issues. With the reforms in this reauthorization, we do not have to choose between security & privacy.
