Putin is counting on America to grow tired, divided, and distracted.

Tonight, the House answered with unity and resolve.

Following the successful bipartisan discharge petition I was proud to help lead, we have passed the Ukraine Support Act—comprehensive legislation to deliver critical support to Ukraine, impose further sweeping sanctions on Russia, and hold Putin accountable for his illegal war of terror.

Ukraine is fighting for its sovereignty and survival, but the stakes do not stop at Ukraine’s borders. Standing with Ukraine is a matter of American security, allied strength, and moral clarity. It tells the world that tyranny will not be met with hesitation, retreat, or silence.

From the start, I have worked to ensure America’s policy is rooted in peace through strength. This legislation gives force to that principle.

Tonight, the House stood on the side of freedom.

Now, the Senate must do the same.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Every dollar that reaches Putin’s war machine makes this war harder to end.

Since Russia launched its illegal war against Ukraine, I have worked to tighten the economic vise on Moscow, target the industries sustaining its aggression, and close the gaps that allow the Kremlin to keep profiting while Ukraine keeps fighting.

At today’s Ways & Means hearing, I pressed Treasury Secretary Bessent on the recent sanctions waiver extension involving Russian oil, whether our sanctions are strong enough, and Treasury’s readiness to implement tougher measures, including my Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act—which calls for a 500% tariff on Russian imports, and products from any country that continues financing their war machine.

Peace through strength means using American economic power to raise the cost of aggression, defend freedom, and help secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

Today, I sat down with my longtime partners and friends from the Pennsylvania Communications Workers of America to continue our shared mission to protect workers, strengthen our communities, and keep good American jobs here at home.

At the center of that work are two bills I am leading: the PRO Act, which strengthens protections for union workers, and the Keep Call Centers in America Act, which holds companies accountable when they disinvest in our communities and ship good customer service jobs overseas.

These are pro-worker, pro-community, pro-America priorities rooted in a simple principle: American workers are not expendable, their rights are not optional, and their jobs are worth fighting for.

Thank you to the entire @CWAUnion for your service, advocacy, and partnership—I am grateful to call you friends and look forward to continuing this important work together.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

The statement we received from the DOJ today was not good enough.

This requires both a legal avenue and a legislative fix, which is exactly what @RepTomSuozzi and I introduced—and we are going to force this to the floor.

This is bigger than any one instance. A 1956 law created an opening that gives far too much unchecked discretion to the Attorney General, invites conflicts of interest, and is plainly ripe for abuse. We saw that abuse play out here. Now we have a responsibility to fix it.

I answer to no person or party in Washington. I answer to the people I represent. And they have been clear: they want us focused on affordability, accountability, and the issues that actually matter in their lives—not ballrooms or slush funds.

And that is exactly what we are going to do.

We joined @andersoncooper tonight to break it down ⬇️

Proud to join dear friends in Bensalem for the Shree Nathji Haveli Temple Unity Event.

What makes our community special is not that we all come from the same place, worship the same way, or share the same story. It is that we choose to respect one another, serve one another, and build something stronger together.

The Shree Nathji Haveli community lives that mission every day, through faith, family, service, and a unified commitment to bringing neighbors together. Their contributions continue to strengthen Bucks County and make our community more connected, compassionate, and united.

I am grateful for their friendship and partnership, and proud to continue working together in that shared mission.

Thank you to everyone who made this special night possible!

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

What a great morning with my friends from the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce for our annual State of the Nation address.

At a time of rising costs, workforce pressures, rapid technological change, and real uncertainty for families and businesses, the voice of our local economy has never been more important.

Today’s conversation focused on what it will take to compete and grow—lowering costs, strengthening our workforce, improving access to care, securing reliable energy, preparing for AI, and keeping Bucks County businesses strong in a changing world.

Thank you to Executive Director Lisa Pflaumer, the entire LBCCC team, and everyone who joined us today. I am grateful for your partnership and for the work you do every day to serve our business community, create opportunity, and move Lower Bucks forward.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Great to be with the @CouncilRockSD @TMFoundation Club at their annual Character Does Matter 5K today!

What makes this event so powerful is who leads it: high school students who have taken the mission of service and remembrance to heart.

They are not just organizing a race. They are honoring our fallen heroes, supporting our veterans and military families, and demonstrating to their peers that character is built through service to others.

I could not be more proud to work alongside these outstanding young leaders year after year, and am continually inspired by their dedication to lifting up the brave men and women who serve our nation.

Big thanks to all the volunteers, supporters, and the incomparable Connie Whalen for her leadership, friendship, and tireless work with the Travis Manion Foundation and our veteran community.

We remember, we honor, and we carry their legacy of service forward.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Service has a powerful way of bringing people together, and few organizations live that mission more fully than @BAPSCharities.

Over the past two days, that spirit was on full display at the annual Spirit of Service Walk-Runs—first at Falls Township Community Park in support of the Middletown Community Foundation, and again this morning at Lions Pride Park in Warrington in support of the Warrington Township Police Department’s Shop with a Cop program.

Over the years, our longtime partnership has grown into a true friendship, rooted in our shared mission to unite, serve, and strengthen the community we are all blessed to call home.

Thank you to the entire BAPS team, countless volunteers, and every neighbor who joined us!

Happy 95th Birthday to the wonderful and amazing Ellie Burns!

Last night, at Queen of the Universe, we had the joy of celebrating someone who means so much to so many.

Ellie is one of those special people whose presence feels like home. To know her is to know kindness, faith, joy, and love. She has a way of making everyone feel welcomed and cared for—a gift she has shared generously with her family, our parish, and entire community throughout her life.

Ellie, you are deeply loved, endlessly appreciated, and we are so grateful for the light you continue to share with our Queen of the Universe and @ConwellEgan family, and all who are blessed to know you.

Happy 95th, Ellie!!

Since coming to Congress, I have worked to advance reforms that do one thing above all else: restore trust in our democracy.

Nearly half of Americans identify as independents, yet are locked out of taxpayer-funded primaries and denied a meaningful voice in choosing who represents them.

I joined @smerconish alongside @RepTomSuozzi to discuss my Let America Vote Act— bipartisan legislation to open taxpayer-funded primaries to every eligible American citizen, regardless of party affiliation, while ensuring taxpayer-funded elections are limited to American citizens.

This would be the greatest expansion of voting rights in half a century—and a major step toward ending the zero-sum, two-party politics that reward the extremes and silence too many American voices.

Honored to join the Hulmeville Historical Society and HB 150 for their Post-Memorial Day gathering in Memorial Park.

Memorial Day is one day on the calendar, but remembrance is a duty we carry every day. The freedoms we enjoy were secured by generations of brave men and women from our community and across the nation who stepped forward to serve and gave their last full measure of devotion. We owe them our gratitude, respect, and enduring commitment to live worthy of the great nation they defended.

Thank you to HHS, HB 150, every volunteer, and all involved in bringing this special tribute to life. God bless our fallen heroes, their families, and the United States of America.

Joe Fiandra served our nation as an Army veteran, spent nearly 40 years at 3M Company, and built a life rooted in faith and devotion to his wife, Helen, their family, and the community that knew and loved him.

In 2022, Joe passed away after a courageous battle with amyloidosis.

But as Joe and his family were fighting for his life, they were forced to fight something else, too: a health care system that made an already unbearable moment even harder. His doctors knew that medically necessary infusion therapy could be safely provided at home. Yet outdated Medicare policy delayed and denied that care—not because it was wrong for Joe, but because the law had failed to keep pace with modern medicine.

After Joe’s passing, Helen could have stepped back in grief. Instead, she stepped forward with purpose.

When we sat down together in Warrington, Helen did not ask for sympathy. She asked for change. She asked that the system be fixed so no other family would have to battle bureaucracy while fighting for the life of someone they love.

That conversation became a bill.

And today, I was honored to present Helen and the Fiandra family with a copy of the Joe Fiandra Access to Home Infusion Act—now signed into law.

This bill is a permanent Medicare reform born from Joe’s story, expanding access to home infusion care for seniors and ensuring patients across the nation can receive treatment at home with dignity, comfort, and the support of their families.

I am deeply grateful to Helen and the entire Fiandra family for their partnership, friendship, and trust, and will always fight to ensure our policies and laws serve and support patients and their families.

Some places do more than mark your childhood. They help form the person you become.

Holy Family Regional Catholic School and Queen of the Universe are those places for me—my elementary school and home parish, and a foundation for my faith, values, and love of this community.

This morning, I saw a school that has grown in remarkable ways, with students learning through robotics, technology, civic education, creative projects, and leadership opportunities. But I also saw what has never changed: the faith, the warmth, the close-knit culture, and the teachers and staff who make every child feel supported, challenged, encouraged, and loved.

Seeing my brother Mike’s grandchildren, Jack and Abby, now part of that same community made it an even more meaningful full-circle moment.

Each week, we share the stories of our Hometown Heroes—the people and institutions whose service, character, and commitment make our community stronger. This week, I am proud to honor the entire Holy Family community: the teachers, staff, administrators, families, and students who continue to carry forward a mission rooted in faith, learning, and service.

If you grew up in Lower Bucks, you know just how special this community is. I could not be more proud of my alma mater, and I am incredibly grateful to Principal Haggerty, Advancement Director Alicia Figueroa, Secretary St. John, Nurse McKnight, and every teacher, staff member, and administrator guiding these children with such care and purpose.

Thank you to the students and families who joined us for our U.S. Military Service Academy Information Session, where young men and women from across Bucks and Montgomery Counties came together to learn more about the path to service, leadership, and excellence through our nation’s service academies.

One of my most meaningful responsibilities as a Member of Congress is nominating outstanding students from our community to these prestigious institutions. Each year, I continue to be so inspired by the young people who step forward with the desire to serve something greater than themselves, and the village of families, teachers, coaches, and mentors who guide them.

To every student pursuing this path: you have already made your community proud, and I look forward to supporting you throughout this process.

Honored to join our @CBSDSchools community for their Military Recognition Ceremony, honoring nine remarkable young leaders who have chosen the path of service to our nation!

Evan Abell, Anthony Castagna, Monika Daly, Matteo D’Andrea, Joshua Lee, Cole Merritt, Yavin Rosa, Gwen Sineni, and Steven Solari represent the very best of PA-1–young men and women of character, courage, discipline, and purpose.

Whether they are headed to active duty, the Reserves, the National Guard, ROTC, or one of our nation’s Service Academies, each has made a decision that deserves our deepest respect: to step forward, to serve something greater than themselves, and to help carry forward the promise of freedom.

Please join me in congratulating these outstanding students and their families and wishing them continued success and safety as they begin this next chapter of patriotic service.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

At a time when families are working harder than ever to keep up with the cost of living, we need to be focused on protecting taxpayers— not a nearly $1.8 billion discretionary payout fund created through an abuse of existing law.

I joined @katiecouric to discuss my bill to stop the DOJ “Anti-Weaponization Fund” before a single dime goes out the door.

We broke down what this fund is, how discharge petitions work, and why we are prepared to use every tool available to protect taxpayers and stop this fund from moving forward, plus more.

What an incredible afternoon with the student leaders at Truman High School!

We had a great conversation about public service, leadership, civic responsibility, and working together to bring about positive change. Their questions were thoughtful, but what impressed me even more was the heart behind them—pride in their school, a commitment to their classmates, and a real desire to make a difference.

Thank you to the entire @BristolTwpSD team for the outstanding guidance and support you provide these young leaders. I look forward to coming back soon and cheering them on as they continue leading at Truman and beyond!

[Bristol Township School District @BristolTwpSD]

Truman High School was honored to welcome @RepBrianFitz for a meaningful conversation with our class officers and student council. He shared insights on his path to public service, discussed the responsibilities of leadership, and took time to answer our students’ questions.

What a special night celebrating the graduates of the @CBSDSchools Biotech Partnership Program at the PA Biotechnology Center!

My friends and partners at PABC are leading the world in biotechnology and medical discovery from right here in Doylestown—hub of innovation where breakthrough ideas are developed, companies are built, and research moves closer to the patients and families who need it most.

Through this extraordinary partnership, Central Bucks students are given a rare, life-changing opportunity to learn inside that environment, work alongside mentors, contribute to real research, and see firsthand the purpose and promise behind scientific discovery.

I could not be more impressed with these young leaders and am grateful to Lou Kassa, the PABC team, and the CBSD team for fostering such a powerful pipeline of talent, discovery, and opportunity.

Please join me in congratulating these students, especially the seniors preparing for their next chapter!

Today, at Pearl S. Buck International in Perkasie, 40 men and women from 21 nations became citizens of the United States of America.

They came from different countries, different cultures, and different walks of life, but today, they stood together under one flag, took one oath, and joined one American family.

There are few ceremonies more moving than this one. The Oath of Allegiance is not just a formality. It is a profound act of faith in America—our freedoms, our responsibilities, our Constitution, and the promise that here, in this exceptional nation, tomorrow can be better than yesterday.

Each new citizen honored today carried a story of courage, sacrifice, perseverance, and hope. Their journeys remind us why America remains a beacon to the world, and why the blessings of citizenship must never be taken for granted.

Thank you to Judge Rufe, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and Pearl S. Buck International for making today’s ceremony so special.

Please join me in congratulating these fine citizens! We are proud to welcome you to our country, proud to welcome you to Bucks County, and grateful for the strength, faith, and love of America you now bring to our shared future.

May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America!

Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating across PA-1 and around the world!

Today, we join our Muslim friends and neighbors in celebrating a holiday rooted in faith, gratitude, sacrifice, and compassion—values that strengthen families, communities, and the bonds we share.

Here in Bucks and Montgomery counties, we are blessed by neighbors of many faiths and backgrounds who enrich our community and remind us that our greatest strength is found in respect, understanding, and standing together.

May this Eid bring peace, unity, joy, and blessings to all!
