Remember, the American people have spoken.

They want a strong country, competent leaders, common sense policies, and a commitment to putting America and Americans First.

Let's give the people what they voted for.

Women's sports are one election away from extinction. And no, that's not an exaggeration. The Dems have stated this as a goal repeatedly and at all levels of government.

Title IX was created to provide equal opportunity for our daughters, not to push a radical gender ideology that jeopardizes their safety, and taxpayer dollars should not be used to advance extreme social policies.

My legislation stops the abuse of Title IX by affirming a simple truth: there are only two sexes — male and female — and we cannot allow protections for our daughters to be erased the next time a Democrat administration takes control of the White House.

I’m proud to stand with @Riley_Gaines_ in this fight and grateful to have her support as we work together to get this bill across the finish line.

[Rep. Jodey Arrington @RepArrington]

.@Riley_Gaines_ is one of the most impactful voices in the fight to protect women’s sports, which is why I’m thrilled to have her as a champion for my Title IX Clarification Act. https://t.co/311cvdQhz0

[Rep. Jodey Arrington @RepArrington]

Nearly 80% of Americans oppose males competing in women’s sports. Congress has a responsibility to our daughters to turn that overwhelming consensus into a lasting federal standard.

I am grateful for President Trump’s bold leadership in reversing the Biden administration’s harmful policies and standing up for female athletes. But executive orders are temporary. Any future Democrat president will easily revoke those protections with the stroke of a pen unless Congress acts.

My Title IX Clarification Act will codify into law that biological sex is the nationwide standard for schools receiving federal money, and any school that denies women equal opportunities by ignoring this standard could lose federal funding.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

Today, the Trump Administration is formally putting into regulation what the law has said all along: Title IX’s protections are based on SEX, not “gender identity.”

The future of North American energy trade — and the credibility of USMCA itself — depend on whether we are willing to enforce the deal we made.

Chairman @RepArrington: "Our gross debt to GDP now surpasses that of World War II when we were fighting Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany."

Reversing the curse of our national debt is the World War of our generation.

[Rep. Jodey Arrington @RepArrington]

The first and most important responsibility of the federal government is to provide for the common defense. For four years, the Biden Administration abdicated that responsibility, failed to secure our sovereign border, and forced Texas to step up and spend more than $11 billion in state taxpayer dollars doing the job Washington refused to do.

As Budget Chairman, I worked with my fellow Texans to make it a priority in the One Big Beautiful Bill to right this wrong and ensure Texas taxpayers were reimbursed for the significant financial harm inflicted upon our citizens. Today, I’m proud to announce that Texas has received the restitution it is owed.

I want to thank President Trump for always making good on his promises including to remedy the injustice done to Texas taxpayers by making our state whole for holding the line when the Biden Administration failed to secure our border. This is a tremendous victory for the Lone Star State and the hardworking Texans who were double taxed to foot the bill for Biden’s dereliction of duty.

Never forget…
We are at our best when we are “one nation, under God, and indivisible.”

[Rep. Jodey Arrington @RepArrington]

Twenty-five years ago, America suffered the deadliest foreign attack on American soil in our nation’s history.

I, like most Americans who lived through that day, remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the horror, helplessness, and anger of watching our country come under attack. But I also remember the tremendous pride and gratitude I felt as an American witnessing the courage, selflessness, and resolve shown by our fellow countrymen.

At the time, I was working for President Bush in the White House, and I remember watching him meet that horrific moment with tremendous compassion, decisiveness, and resolve.

I remember running out of the White House amid reports of a plane heading toward us. I remember the surreal feeling of being under siege as I watched smoke billowing from the Pentagon and fighter jets scrambling overhead.

I remember gathering with White House staff on the South Lawn to pray for our country. In the aftermath, I remember lining the hallway outside the Oval Office as victims’ families walked out of a meeting with the President, everyone in tears.

I remember watching the footage and listening to the voicemails of those who lost their lives that day.

I remember our country uniting in grief and with a oneness of purpose. I remember people turning to God for comfort and strength. I remember Americans, regardless of their politics, standing proud of our country.

More than anything, I remember feeling like we were truly one nation, under God, and indivisible. And it was powerful beyond words.

Never forget.

Medicare and Medicaid have become open cash registers for criminal enterprises. As we speak, taxpayers are being charged for equipment never delivered, services never performed, and treatments patients never needed.

Happy birthday, @SecScottBessent!

Grateful for your strong leadership and heartfelt service to our great nation. Thank you for all your efforts to Make America Prosperous Again!

As a result of your commitment to pro-growth, America First policies, the USA has experienced record revenue, investments, and spending cuts.

And, the best is yet to come!

[Rep. Jodey Arrington @RepArrington]

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and fellow Texan, Kay Granger.

From serving as Fort Worth's first female mayor to becoming the first Republican woman from Texas elected to Congress, Kay lived a pioneering life and a career of service defined by the values of the Lone Star State - toughness, tenacity, and an unwavering commitment to the people she represented.

Please join me in praying for her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

🚨 The Senate should not delay the SNAP state benefit cost-share requirement.

States make more than $10 billion in erroneous SNAP payments every year, and the national payment error rate has nearly doubled since 2019. The problem is only getting worse.

The One Big Beautiful Bill brings SNAP in line with other federally funded, state-administered programs, requiring states with the highest payment error rates to have skin in the game by sharing a modest portion of benefit costs.

That's commonsense accountability, stronger program integrity, and better stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

With our national debt exceeding $39 trillion, we must stay committed to fiscal responsibility—not cave to Democrat demands to weaken accountability, waste taxpayer dollars meant to serve vulnerable Americans, and further fuel our debt crisis.

[House Budget GOP @HouseBudgetGOP]

Democrats continue to obstruct President Trump, so Republicans are using reconciliation to secure our elections, support our troops, and provide certainty for our food supply.

Pass The SAVE and Protect America Act 🇺🇸🦅

[Rep. Jodey Arrington @RepArrington]

Thank you, Mr. President.

Way to go, House GOP!

Senate Republicans…this is our moment!

• Rec 1.0 = passing historic tax and spending cuts
• Rec 2.0 = breaking Democrat obstruction and opening up Homeland Security
• Rec 3.0 = supporting our troops, securing our elections, and SAVING AMERICA! 🇺🇸

I am humbled by the steadfast unity and unwavering determination from House Republicans to break the Democrat obstruction so we can provide emergency support for our troops, safeguard the integrity of our elections, and continue delivering on the priorities of the American people.

I urge the Senate to seize this fateful moment to SAVE and Protect America. https://t.co/aAUlVdjEle
