As an Indiana cattleman myself, I am not surprised by President Trump’s decision to import thousands of tons of beef into our country to lower prices at the meat counter.
Let me be clear, there is no substitute for American beef, on American store shelves, from American beef farmers.
I am also sympathetic to the needs of Hoosiers who are struggling to pay higher food costs brought on by the Biden administration. While I don’t like the means the President had to choose, I do agree that the move is justified if it ends with Americans seeing lower prices in the grocery store immediately.
The real issue is the lack of a long term plan that has been stuck in Congress! Passing country of origin labeling, more support for local and regional processing facilities and USDA low interest loans for farmers who increase herd size would all support producers in order to grow their herds to a sustainable level, and increased competition on the market so prices can drop in the long run.
This should be seen as a temporary fix so Congress can pass long overdue reforms so American farmers can rebuild the greatest beef herd in the world. After all, U.S. farmers never were good at being panicans anyway.
If we don’t come up with a serious immigration plan now while border crossings are at ZERO, Democrats will just give re-open the border and amnesty to all illegals.
Republicans need to be realisitic — mass deportation of 20 million people just isn’t doable.
.@RepStutzman, who supported Indiana’s failed mid-decade redistricting effort, tells me “I don’t think it’s necessary at this point” for Statehouse Republicans to try again.
Analyses of Indiana’s election results show Republicans would have likely lost a greater number of House seats had the proposed map passed. Democrats were able to flip one seat, with State Sen. J.D. Ford ousting Rep. Victoria Spartz.
“I don’t think that the redistricting effort was a failure in the sense that we shouldn’t have attempted to try to do that,” Stutzman said. “But I do think that the rage wave that we dealt with this last week, the redistricting effort was not even helpful because we just lost by such big margins.”
This Veterans Day, let us not forget there are still 400,000 claims that have been filed by veterans and their families who developed cancer, Parkinson’s, and other diseases at Camp LeJeune that are STILL UNSETTLED.
Those who gave their lives for this country deserve better than the downright terrible treatment they have been receiving by OUR government in the wake of their sicknesses.
@AGToddBlanche these Americans need your help. Please intervene ASAP.
.@RepStutzman said President Donald Trump got it wrong by selecting Stephen Miller as his next chief of staff. The Indiana Republican told NewsNation that voters overwhelmingly rejected the president’s hardline immigration policies when they “fired” dozens of incumbent Republicans.

The Republican Minority Leader needed to be an excellent communicator and a real fighter for the America First agenda.
I’m excited for @Jim_Jordan to represent @HouseGOP as Minority Leader in the next congress.
Congratulations to my friend, mentor, and American patriot @Jim_Jordan on becoming the next leader of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
We need a fighter and he is the man for the job! 🥊
This is the way. Just because we only have 2 months left in the majority doesn’t mean Republicans should phone it in until January.
@SpeakerJohnson@LeaderJohnThune implement these policies immediately!
🚨BREAKING: House Freedom Caucus leadership just dropped a lame-duck roadmap for @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune.
Strip Democrat leverage. Deliver real wins. Do it before the clock runs out.
No leaving town until it’s done — let’s finish the job!
Americans want to get back to a normal that they can afford, and they sent that message loud and clear at the polls.
It’s time for Republicans to roll up our sleeves and get back to work. 🇺🇸⛽️
Excited that @POTUS voiced support for Aid to Trade!
Israel’s economy is strong; they are ready to stop relying on direct foreign aid, and to build a an equal partnership with the United States through trade.
President Trump is right: the future of our relationship with Israel has to be Trade, not Aid.
That’s the message Congressman Hamadeh and @RepStutzman delivered to Prime Minister Netanyahu in Jerusalem earlier this year, when they laid out the case for ending the $3.8 billion in annual military aid so Israel buys American weapons and defense technology with its own money.
America First has never meant America alone. It means strong partners, not permanent dependents. Peace through strength. Commerce, not blank checks. That’s how we put the American people first.
Democrats turned a blind eye as illegal immigrants defrauded Americans out of $260.7 BILLION dollars. 💸🔥
Between the major tax cuts of 2025 and the Trump admin’s War on Fraud, Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks‼️💵
.@POTUS: We have the most secure border in history. We got the biggest tax cuts in history. We caught billions in Democrat-approved fraud.
