If your son or daughter racked up a sky-high credit card bill, you wouldn’t allow them to raise their credit limit without first imposing some strict limitations – which is precisely the principle at play here. We can’t keep borrowing money we don’t have to spend on things we don’t need. Our children and grandchildren don’t deserve for us to mortgage their future away.
House Republicans have put forward a strong plan – it’s now time for President Biden and Senate Democrats to come to the negotiating table.
Securing our Border
After passing strong border legislation in the House Judiciary Committee last week, we passed a counterpart bill to increase physical border security last week in the House Committee on Homeland Security after a thorough 11-hour markup.
The Border Reinforcement Act, that I’m cosponsoring, will resume border wall construction, bolster CBP staffing, modernize border technology, support local law enforcement, and more.

Working Against the Weaponization of Government
As I pointed out recently during a panel at the Heritage Foundation, restoring our government to one that works for the people, elected by the people, will be a steep uphill climb. The victories we secured in the January Speaker’s race, including establishing the Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government, are a crucial first step in that fight.
Last week, Weaponization Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed Rochelle Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Jen Easterly, the head of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and James Rubin, Coordinator of the Global Engagement Center (GEC), a State Department agency that was recently exposed (link) for being a hub of government censorship.
TWEET: Time to get to the bottom of the Censorship Laundering Complex.
In addition to these subpoenas and our public hearings, our select subcommittee continues to conduct depositions, transcribed interviews, and other work in our mission to expose and root out government censorship and weaponization.
We recently exposed what many Americans know to be the truth – that the Biden campaign colluded with “national security experts” to cover up the Hunter Biden laptop story. It remains to be seen what else we will uncover, and I will make sure to keep you updated on this important fight.
Celebrating Dr. Mike Whitson's 40th Anniversary
On Sunday, I had the privilege to recognize Dr. Mike Whitson for 40 years of dedication and service to First Baptist Church of Indian Trail and the entire Union County Community. I also informed him that he’ll be opening the House of Representatives in prayer on May 25th! More updates to come.
