No child or family should have to endure the trauma of seeing AI-generated deepfakes used as a weapon against them.
Stories like this are exactly why I authored the TAKE IT DOWN Act.
Under this law, it’s a federal crime to knowingly publish or threaten to publish nonconsensual intimate images. Platforms are now required to remove this harmful content within 48 hours.

Great visiting with fellow Texan Noah Syndergaard this week. As an Astros fan, Noah gave us more than a few headaches!

Heidi and I are heartbroken by the horrific shooting in Midland, and we are praying for the victims, their families and the city of Midland.
We are grateful to the law enforcement officers and first responders who moved swiftly to protect the community.
Please continue to heed the guidance of local authorities as they secure the scene.

Enjoyed catching up with Dana White today.
Dana has built one of the most successful sports brands in the world, and it was great spending time with him, Nick Khan, and Lonnie Ali on Capitol Hill.

Here’s a simple rule:
Your tax dollars should not be used to fund left-wing political activism.
For years, federal agencies sent money to activist organizations that used it to advance ideological causes, attack American energy, and undermine ICE.
@SecretaryBurgum is right to shut it down.
Interior Secretary Burgum axes 43 partnerships and scraps $4M in funding after a department-wide review flagged groups tied to DEI, environmental justice and services for illegal immigrants as 'operating in direct opposition' to the Trump administration's mission. The terminated agreements include internship programs, conservation initiatives and cooperative partnerships with groups ranging from the Hispanic Access Foundation to the National Geographic Society.

Take a minute and listen to this passsionate testimony.
He captures what's at stake: opportunities for student athletes, traditions that unite communities, and a college sports model that is increasingly under strain.
We risk losing all of that if Congress doesn't act.

India is the world's largest democracy, and the U.S.-India alliance is a critical to the national security of both our countries.
I congratulate Prime Minister Modi on becoming India's longest-serving Prime Minister. This milestone is a testament to his political acumen and leadership.

President Trump & Congressional Republicans promised to secure the border.
The Secure America Act fully funds ICE and Border Patrol through his term and gives them the tools to combat trafficking, stop deadly drugs, dismantle cartels, and enforce our laws.
Promises made, promises kept.
Meanwhile every single Democrat voted against the funding.

College sports should open doors for student athletes, not become an unregulated bidding war.
This morning, I sat down with coaches, student athletes, and university leaders to discuss the Protect College Sports Act and how we restore clear rules, preserve NIL, and keep college sports tied to education and opportunity.

The Iranian regime took down two American servicemembers in an American Apache. They were rescued in a first-of-its kind mission by an unmanned surface vessel from Austin-based Saronic Technologies.
I saw this technology firsthand in Texas. This is why America should lead in autonomous maritime innovation.
Extraordinary heroism by our servicemen & extraordinary technology employed to rescue them. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Enough is enough. President Trump and our Armed Forces decimated Iran militarily, but the Iranian regime has been trying to rebuild and now they've taken down an American Apache. Thank God the two American servicemembers are safe.
President Trump is absolutely right. There is a pressing necessity for the U.S. to respond to this attack.
