Today marks 1 year since the unprovoked and heinous attacks launched by Hamas terrorists against our strongest ally in the Middle East.

We stand with Israel as we remember the innocent lives lost, and we pray for the safe return of those still held hostage.

Hurricane Helene will impact Georgia overnight Thursday into Friday. Ensure you have severe weather alerts turned ON to receive critical updates while you sleep. See the graphic from our @NWSAtlanta partner for more information.

[GEMA/HS @GeorgiaEMAHS]

Before Tropical Storm Helene makes landfall, make sure you know how to secure your property. Plan to bring in all outdoor furniture, decorations, garbage cans and anything else that is not tied down.

Take a look at the graphic for info. Visit https://t.co/E5f5THZQXN for tips.

As we monitor Tropical Storm Helene’s path and potential impact, I have declared a State of Emergency enabling emergency management teams to prepare for and direct resources well in advance of the storm’s arrival. Stay vigilant and stay safe.

GEMA/HS is closely monitoring Potential Tropical Cyclone #9 and is forecasted to impact Georgia on Thursday and Friday.

Significant wind damage, flash flooding from heavy rainfall and possible tornadoes may occur. Stay tuned to your local @NWS office.

[House Republicans @HouseGOP]

Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Join us in honoring and remembering our service members who were held prisoner and our heroes who haven't come home.

May God bless them and their families.

[Ways and Means Committee @WaysandMeansGOP]

The Improving Social Security’s Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act, introduced by @RepDrewFerguson, streamlines the process of addressing concerns with lost or stolen Social Security numbers.

This bill reduces the burden on victims - including for families of children whose Social Security numbers have been compromised - and ensures Social Security beneficiaries receive efficient solutions to their issues.

Happy Birthday, @usairforce!!

Here’s to many more years of being ready to fly, fight, and win! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Congressman Drew Ferguson @RepDrewFerguson]

Since 1967, welfare payments increased 780% - 9.2x the rise in income earned by the average household. Means-tested social-welfare spending totaled $1.6 trillion in 2023 & now absorbs 72.6% of unobligated general revenue. These numbers are stunning & infuriating.

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

Requiring all able-bodied Americans to work as a condition for receiving welfare would do more than reduce the deficit. It would bring people back into the economy, write Phil Gramm and @RepArrington

23 years ago, September 11th changed our world.

We honor the 2,996 lives lost and the heroic first responders who risked everything.

Their courage and sacrifice remind us of the strength and unity of our nation. 🇺🇸 #NeverForget

[Congressman Drew Ferguson @RepDrewFerguson]

Devastated and heartbroken by the tragic events that took place at Apalachee High School.

Our entire nation consoles the students, families, and loved ones - and Julie’s and my prayers are with our fellow Georgians.

[Congressman Drew Ferguson @RepDrewFerguson]

Today, we remember and honor the 13 U.S. servicemembers whose lives were lost in the terrorist attack on Abbey Gate.

These American heroes will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

[Congressman Drew Ferguson @RepDrewFerguson]

Absolutely heartbreaking.

Investigator Deputy Taylor Bristow selflessly served our community - and made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting his fellow citizens. He will forever be remembered for his heroic service.

My prayers are with his family and loved ones. 🙏

[WSB-TV @wsbtv]

"He served our community with unwavering passion and dedicated his life to protecting the citizens of Carroll County. We are deeply saddened and at a loss for words." https://t.co/7j3swYgmdz

[Congressman Drew Ferguson @RepDrewFerguson]

Politicians should debate policy and it’s ok to have differences within your own party. However, politics is a team sport. It’s a shirts and skins exercise. Geoff Duncan looks like he’s wearing a crop top trying to decide which team he’s on.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

@realDonaldTrump @BrianKempGA Thank you to the former lt governor of Georgia, Geoff Duncan last night…

[Congressman Drew Ferguson @RepDrewFerguson]

Saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman Bill Pascrell.

I will miss his friendship and our very spirited debates on Ways and Means.

My condolences and prayers are with his family and loved ones. 🙏

[Bill Pascrell, Jr. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @BillPascrell]

It is with deep sadness that we announce that Bill Pascrell Jr., our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away this morning. As our United States Representative, Bill fought to his last breath to return to the job he cherished and to the people he loved. Bill lived his entire life in Paterson and had an unwavering love for the city he grew up in and served. He is now at peace after a lifetime devoted to our great nation America.
