At 1 PM, the Declaration of Independence is read aloud at the Boston State House, where it is received merrily by the gathered citizenry.

The audience responds with three huzzahs and 13 rounds of cannon fire, followed by public libations.

Had I been invited to the lunch with King Charles, I would have brought along the copy of the Senate Manual that he was given during his 1970 visit to the Capitol, which he must have accidentally misplaced because I found it in a used book store for $20

After a short lunch break (and geography lesson) DC public work crews have decide to replace the Australian flags with the British flag around the White House.

George Washington’s gavel is being carried into the House chamber for the State of the Union. It was used in a 1793 ceremony to lay the U.S. Capitol cornerstone. Mike Johnson is the first House Speaker in history to display Washington’s gavel during the President’s State of the Union Address as America marks its 250th anniversary this year.

This post is in reference to learning about House floor procedure specifically but this is an extremely good strategy for learning about a surprisingly large range of topics.

Today, we have achieved a significant result – two thousand Ukrainian children have been brought home from under Russia’s control through the @BringKidsBackUA initiative.

Each of these returns was made possible thanks to the daily efforts of our people, civil society organizations, and international partners. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to this fight for the future of our children, our country, and the entire free world.

The road ahead remains long and difficult. Thousands of Ukrainian children are still held captive by Russia, becoming victims of its crimes every day. But we will not stop until every Ukrainian child is back home.

Just some pure goodness to light up your week – Kaikai and Keeper Joseph enjoying a midday nap!

Kaikai is one of the youngest orphans in our care. We rescued her in May, after her mother died of natural causes. It was an uphill battle but today she is absolutely thriving.

Want to support Kaikai’s journey back to the wild? Adopt her, as a gift for yourself or someone special: https://t.co/2VvODTPBul

I just spoke on the House Floor in support of the FY26 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) appropriations bill, which I have the honor of overseeing as @HouseAppropsGOP THUD Subcommittee Chairman.

Despite a terrible personal hardship, I am here today because completing Congress’s Article 1 responsibility is important for the American people. Let’s get this done today.

While the @FEC is unable to submit recommendations to Congress for 2025 due to a lack of quorum, I want to keep these critical issues on everyone's radar:
