Wasting billions of taxpayer dollars is nothing new for the Biden-Harris Administration. Their reckless government spending benefits only themselves and not Americans. This administration is actively lying and leading our nation to a budgetary downfall.

Major Ray Roberts lived a tremendous life of service to his country. He served as an Air Force pilot during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. I was honored to attend his funeral and celebrate his great impact on #TX26 and our nation.

PSA for #TX26 : With holidays coming up, make sure your passport is valid. @StateDept released an online system which makes it easy to renew your passport from the comfort of your home. I urge every U.S. citizen to take advantage of this great tool ⬇️

Thank you @SteveScalise and @GOPMajorityWhip for celebrating the passage of H.R. 3884 with me. The passage of this bill takes the first step in providing sickle cell disease patients with the care and treatment they need.

I introduced a bill with @RepDannyDavis that designates September as Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month. This bill brings greater attention to sickle cell disease & encourages further research into early detection & treatments for American patients.

Thanks @RepBuddyCarter for joining me in revitalizing the Panel of Health Advisors within the @USCBO . This bill gives congressional authority to appoint health advisors who prioritize the patient & not their own partisan agenda.

Today on National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we remember the committed and dedicated service members who were held as prisoners. These heroes deserve the highest honor for their sacrifice. May God bless the families of those who never came back home.

Great news for #TX26 . @ACUedu received a permit to start construction on an advanced nuclear reactor. This reactor will provide research opportunities for students, invest in nuclear energy in our state, & greatly impact U.S. energy independence.

I was grateful to host @UT_Dallas students in my Rules Committee office. We had a great discussion on health care priorities of our community, legislation I’m working on, and the importance of advocating on behalf of their patients.

Many health care providers agree, Congress needs to get my bill on the House of Representatives floor which will allow physicians to own hospitals in rural America and amend certain provisions in the Affordable Care Act.

For three years, Democrats refused to even address the border crisis they unleashed. No amount of wordplay, math gimmicks, or empty promises can turn back the clock. Like @HouseGOP , the American people living through this catastrophe aren't interested in lectures.

It’s #ConstitutionDay . On this day in 1787, our founding fathers signed the United States Constitution. This important political document is the cornerstone of the freedoms and opportunities we have today as Americans.
