**Notes:**
- X handles were sourced from verified accounts linked to the representatives’ official congressional profiles or recent posts on X mentioning their handles.
- All listed handles are subject to change, as members may update or deactivate their accounts. If a handle doesn’t work, you can check the representative’s official website or the House Ways and Means Committee website (https://t.co/UMqoTyetZa) for updated contact information.
- Some members, like Aaron Bean (FL) and Nathaniel Moran (TX), appeared in earlier committee rosters but are not confirmed as current members for the 119th Congress, so they are excluded from this list.[](https://t.co/dwngjvOcGi)
- If you need further assistance or want to verify a specific member’s X activity, let me know, and I can search for real-time updates on X.

@LeaderJohnThune They look so enthused to see you 🙄

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@SteveScaliseGOP I’ve answered so many survey. They’re useless because everything stalls in the Senate.

In Texas I was taken to a grocery store called H-E-B.

I asked what the letters stand for. My friend said, "Howard Edward Butt."

I waited for the rest of the name. There was no rest. The man built an empire on his actual name, and the empire did not flinch.

Inside, a woman in a red apron said, "Welcome! Finding everything okay?"

I had been inside for eleven seconds. I had found nothing. I had not begun to look.

"...I have only just arrived."

"Well, let me know if you need anything, sweetheart."

Sweetheart. From a stranger with a price gun. I held the cart handle with both hands and tried to proceed as a man who had not just been loved at the produce section.

The store was clean in a way that suggested someone cared about it the way my grandmother cared about her kitchen floor. Not for the guests. For the floor.

A man named Dale in the meat department was cutting brisket behind glass. I watched him work. He held the knife the way a calligrapher holds a brush. Each cut landed in the same place twice.

I bowed slightly. I could not help it.

Dale looked up. "You want a sample, boss?"

"...I was paying respects to your blade work."

He paused. Then he cut a piece, put it on a toothpick, and handed it over the counter.

"Well, that's a first. Most folks just ask if I got any ribs left."

I ate it. It was perfect. I told him it was perfect.

"Appreciate that. Twenty-six years behind this counter."

Twenty-six years. The same counter. The same knife. In my country we would call this man a living national treasure and put him on television. Here he wore a red apron and asked if I wanted it wrapped.

Then the storm came.

I do not mean this as a metaphor. A hurricane was approaching the coast, and I learned something about this grocery store that I did not believe until I saw it with my own eyes.

H-E-B has mobile kitchens. Disaster relief trucks. A full-time Director of Emergency Preparedness. Over a hundred and fifty thousand employees they call Partners, and when the wind starts to build, the Partners do not go home.

They drive toward it.

During Hurricane Harvey, this grocery store fed thousands. They sent trucks into flooded towns before the government arrived. Before the Red Cross set up. Before anyone asked.

A grocery store. With a meat counter and a bakery and a sign that says HERE EVERYTHING'S BETTER.

Texans have a name for H-E-B during hurricanes. They call it the FEMA of Texas. I have confirmed this. Multiple Texans said it to me without smiling, the way you state the name of a general who does not lose.

I asked Dale if he had worked during Harvey.

He stopped cutting. He set the knife down, which I had not seen him do.

"Drove in at four in the morning. Water was up to my truck doors. Store was the only thing open for nine miles. We made sandwiches till we ran out of bread. Then corporate sent more bread. Then we ran out again."

"...How long?"

"Sixteen days."

I stood there holding a package of brisket in both hands and tried to find the word.

"...You are not a butcher, Dale."

He picked up his knife. "Sure I am."

In my country, a man who feeds his village through a disaster is honored for the rest of his life. In Texas, he is called a butcher, and he goes back to the counter on Monday, and he does not mention it unless you ask, and even then he picks up his knife before he finishes the story, because the brisket is not going to cut itself.

The store was founded in 1905 by a woman named Florence Butt, who put sixty dollars' worth of groceries on a shelf on the ground floor of her family's home in a town called Kerrville. That was the whole store. One shelf. One room. Sixty dollars.

A hundred and twenty years later, the family still owns it.

I walked out with four bags. A boy in a red apron carried two of them to my car. I told him I could carry my own bags. He said, "I know you can. But I'm already here, so."

I did not tip him. He would not let me.

I drove home past the highway where the flood line was still visible on the guardrail, three feet up, and I thought about Dale, and the bread, and the knife, and the name Howard Edward Butt, who was not embarrassed by it, because the name is not the point.

The shelf is the point.

Florence Butt put sixty dollars on a shelf in 1905. A hundred and twenty years later, when the water rose and the power died, the shelf was still standing, and there was bread on it.

A store is not its name. A store is whether the bread is there when you need it.

The bread was there.

PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT 🇺🇸

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@JDVance So you’re going to lead the Senate? What’s stopping you? It’s fully constitutional. What’s the hold up? Millions of Americans would like to know.

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

Whoa!

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

After tonight, it’s even clearer that the Senate should take the SAVE America Act and continue debating it until it passes

Repost if you agree

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

If our Senate has no intention of securing our elections,

it’s time to declare our fraudulent elections a “National Emergency.”

May 28, 2026. Modesto, California.

Three people are stabbed to death in a single home.

A 54-year-old grandmother.
A 23-year-old mother.
A two-week-old baby boy.

Two weeks old. Read that again.

A baby who had not yet learned to focus his eyes.

Three generations. One knife. One afternoon.

The man arrested for it had been deported once before.

He came back. Illegally.

In June 2025, he was arrested for his FOURTH DUI.

ICE asked the county jail to hold him.

The county refused. State law forbids cooperation with ICE.

He walked out.

Eleven months later, a grandmother, a mother, and a two-week-old infant were dead on the floor of their own home.

They had him.

They had him on a fourth drunk-driving arrest.

They let him go because the state had decided, on principle, not to ask.

A two-week-old child paid for that principle with his entire life.

He should be alive.
His mother should be alive.
His grandmother should be alive.

God bless every American who refuses to call this normal.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

SCOTUS ruled 5-4 that Mississippi mail-in ballots can be received 5 days AFTER Election Day,

so long as they are postmarked by Election Day.

You’re watching the 2026 election being stolen in real time, while our Senate does absolutely nothing.

You should be furious.

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@BasedMikeLee Wish more Senate Republicans would grow a spine. Thanks Senator Lee.

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@ScottPresler Thank you, Scott!

[The Disrespected Trucker @DisrespectedThe]

Who would you support as Senate Leader?

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@Chicago1Ray @LeaderJohnThune He’s a disgrace

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

“Get the hell outta here.”

This is the attitude that our elected officials have for Republican voters — contempt.

“I’m the assh@le saying you can’t come in.”

If you know anyone in South Dakota, please show them this video.

I never ask you to make things viral.

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@ScottPresler Primary Thune with a true conservative

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@ScottPresler @Woman28American Talk more, never stop until it’s passed.

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@ScottPresler More of this

[USAFDV 🇺🇸 @koppekid]

@SteveHiltonx Where are you in Texas? I’m in the same state and it’s $3.05.
