Week In Review
We had a lot happening this week: we celebrated a huge milestone, the first 100 days of President Trump’s historic second term; we continued putting together one big, beautiful budget bill; and we voted to give Americans freedom to buy the car of their choice.
There’s been a lot of misinformation coming from the left on tariffs, the budget deal, and fake cuts to Social Security and Medicare. So let’s talk about what’s really going on.
Every week in Washington, my mission is the same: stand up for Americans. This week was no exception. From new legislation to end taxes on military bonuses and help veterans cut through red tape, to bills that give the victims of natural disasters the flexibility they need to get back on their feet, it was all about putting Americans first.
We had a busy week in Washington, introducing two new pieces of legislation and fighting back against more of the disasters Joe Biden left behind.
Congress had one major item on the to-do list this week: fund the government. By passing a continuing resolution, or a CR, we’ve extended funding for crucial programs like Medicaid, but we’ve also reallocated funds to make sure that every taxpayer dollar is spent wisely. That means investing in things like a pay increase for junior enlisted troops and investment in air traffic control systems.
This week, we took a huge step towards enacting President Trump’s America First agenda by voting and passing the budget resolution. With this first step complete, we can now start the process of reconciliation to cut taxes, secure our border, and cut out-of-control government spending.
One topic has dominated the news this week: USAID. But as a member – and now Chairman – of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, this department’s wasteful spending is something that I”ve been tracking for years. From expanding atheism in Nepal to an LGBTQ comic book in Peru, there’s no shortage of examples of idiotic grants and programs we can point to. Unfortunately, it seems like these types of initiatives are the rule – not the exception.
Good news! We are just one day away from the 60th Presidential Inauguration. That means we are just one day away from having President Donald J. Trump back in the Oval Office!
This week was a big one in Washington as the 119th Congress was sworn in and the Republican majority got right to work.
This isn’t just about convenience. For these warriors, it’s about dignity, respect, and removing unnecessary barriers to travel.
