Ahead of Celebrations for America’s 250th Anniversary, the Department of Interior is working to make Washington, D.C. beautiful again.
This is something all Americans can be proud of! 🇺🇸
The blood of Iryna Zarutska is on the hands of every radical leftist politician who supports cashless bail
Today, the House will pass the Cashless Bail Reporting Act, so we have a list of jurisdictions that release individuals accused of serious offenses.
Enough is enough.
.@RepTimMooreNC praises President Trump's approach to China:
"I applaud [President Trump] in meeting with President Xi of China...he stands strong to do what he needs to to make sure America stays strong."

My TRUST Act passed the House unanimously today to relieve an unnecessary regulatory burden on community banks.
It's really simple: small town banks shouldn't be regulated like Wall Street giants.
Before President Trump took office, Americans were paying up to 1000% more for the same prescription drugs than other countries. Same drugs. Same dosages.
Now, thanks to President Trump and TrumpRx, Americans are getting Most Favored Nation pricing. This is going to save lives.
The reckless magistrate judges in Charlotte are exactly why I introduced the Judicial Accountability for Public Safety Act.
Really simple: judges should be liable for negligently releasing a repeat offender who goes on to commit a serious violent crime.
If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security:
“We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.”
Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down.
“I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.”
Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him?
Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job.
This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration.
Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life?
The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at https://t.co/uolhGspFtN. Apply today.
As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at https://t.co/uolhGspFtN
I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…
Markwayne Mullin: "To be able to have the love of my life behind me. Somebody I literally fell in love with in third grade. *gets emotional* I knew I was gonna marry her in 8th grade. She didn't know that yet. We had to work that process."
There is no doubt the Iranian regime has American blood on its hands and has spent decades working against the safety of the United States and our allies. They are the world’s leading state sponsor of terror and have destabilized the region for generations.
President Trump has made it clear that Iran will never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon or threaten the American people. I support President Trump’s decision to take action and stand firmly with our servicemen and women. God bless our troops.
He’s the Director of the Presidential Personnel Office and has loyally worked for the President for almost 40 years.
Sorry this President doesn’t surround himself with PhDs in lesbian Palestinian drum solo or whatever you people think qualifies you to be in a room like this.
Thank you, President Trump, for bringing Iryna Zarutska's family from NC-14 to the Capitol tonight.
It was a beautiful moment. We're making America safe again, AND we're going to hold reckless judges accountable. Time to pass the Judicial Accountability for Public Safety Act!
Democrats think folks in North Carolina won’t notice what’s really going on with their primary election gimmick.
Congressman Tim Moore is the ONLY Republican candidate running for Congress in NC-14 — VOTE in the primary. Early voting starts tomorrow.

I introduced the No Bounties on Badges Act to authorize federal rewards for information leading to the arrest or prevention of those who offer bounties to harm or kill law enforcement officers.
It's pretty clear: if you put a bounty on our officers, we’ll put a bounty on you.
