As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I HAD to capture the moment on video. Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country! 🇺🇸

Medicaid is for single mothers with small children who are just trying to make it. It's not for 29-year-old males sitting on their couch playing video games.  We're going to find those guys, and we will SEND them back to work!

Democrats either have an issue with reading comprehension or they’re running a shameful misinformation campaign. The CR has NO CUTS to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, or veterans’ benefits. Members of the media: if you're allowing Democrats to make intentionally false claims without pushback, then you're aiding and abetting in the spread of this misinformation.

Democrats cheered against an American company. They refused to celebrate the rescue of American astronauts. They couldn't even stand for a childhood cancer survivor. Their message has moved from anti-Trump, it's anti-American.

Colombia and all nations should be on notice - Congress is fully prepared to pass sanctions and other measures against those that do not fully cooperate or follow through on requirements to accept their citizens who are illegally in the United States. President Trump is putting America first, just like he said he would. And Congress will implement policies that reinforce his agenda.

At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.   Having invalidated the votes of more than 14 million Americans who selected Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president, the self-proclaimed ‘party of democracy’ has proven exactly the opposite.   The party’s prospects are no better now with Vice President Kamala Harris, who co-owns the disastrous policy failures of the Biden Administration. As second in command and a completely inept border czar, Harris has been a gleeful accomplice — not only in the destruction of American sovereignty, security, and prosperity, but also in the largest political coverup in U.S. history. She has known for as long as anyone of his incapacity to serve.   Regardless of the chaos in the current White House, our adversaries around the globe should be reminded that the U.S. Congress, the U.S. military, and the American people are fully prepared and committed to defend our interests both at home and abroad.   If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.

My statement on President Trump trial verdict: Today is a shameful day in American history. Democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges, predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. This was a purely political

If you are in America on a student visa, and you're an aspiring young terrorist, who wants to prey upon your Jewish classmates, you're going home. We will arrest you and send you back to where you belong.

It is the honor of a lifetime to have been elected the 56th Speaker of the House.  Thank you to my colleagues, friends, staff, and family for the unmatched support throughout this process. It has been an arduous few weeks, and a reminder that the House is as complicated and diverse as the people we represent. The urgency of this moment demands bold, decisive action to restore trust, advance our legislative priorities, and demonstrate good governance. Our House Republican Conference is united, and eager to work.  As Speaker, I will ensure the House delivers results and inspires change for the American people. We will restore trust in this body. We will advance a comprehensive conservative policy agenda, combat the harmful policies of the Biden Administration, and support our allies abroad. And we will restore sanity to a government desperately in need of it. Let’s get back to work.

President Trump’s speech wasn’t a speech for the mainstream media, it was a speech for the American people. The way Democrats behaved was unserious and embarrassing. The contrast between our forward looking vision and their temper tantrums was on display for all of America to see.

It should alarm every American citizen that the sitting President of the United States, who has opened our border to over 9 million illegals, just announced that he would veto our bill to prevent noncitizens from voting.

Bishop Budde hijacked the National Prayer Service to promote her radical ideology. This was an opportunity to unify the country in prayer, but she used it to sow division. Even worse, she’s continued her political crusade in media interviews. Shameful.

198 Democrats just voted against censuring Rep. Al Green. Instead of supporting decorum, they defended his shameful and egregious behavior. What an embarrassment.

This week, we heard Democrats shout: - Shut down the city - We are at war - Fight in the streets Their party is completely broken. They have no vision and no leader. All they have is relentless opposition to President Trump.

Republicans CANNOT allow millions of Americans devastated by the historic hurricane season, or our struggling farmers, go without the help they desperately need.   We will decide FY25 spending in March, when Trump is back in the WH and Republicans control the Senate and House.

The House has worked its will. We gave our members a voice, provided them with a better process, and ultimately sent a much better policy to the Senate.

Every American should witness this chilling footage. This is the result of the Biden Administration refusing to secure our border and protect America.

The state of our union under President Biden: three years of decline.

House Republicans are investigating Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Special Counsel Jack Smith for targeting political opponents. The American people deserve answers, and we will not tolerate this two-tiered system of justice.

As Israel faces this vicious attack from Iran, America must show our full resolve to stand with our critical ally. The world must be assured: Israel is not alone. I will continue to engage with the White House to insist upon a proper response. The Biden Administration’s

Reminder: House Democrats last week voted AGAINST:   • ensuring only American citizens vote in American elections • deporting illegals who commit violent crimes against women • ensuring taxpayers dollars aren’t used to bail out sanctuary cities

Last night’s mockery of the Last Supper was shocking and insulting to Christian people around the world who watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The war on our faith and traditional values knows no bounds today. But we know that truth and virtue will always prevail. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)

I’ve attended many bilateral meetings with heads of state and dignitaries, but I’ve never seen anything like President Zelenskyy’s behavior in the Oval Office.  He berated and interrupted his hosts. He should apologize and accept the mineral rights deal.

I’m disgusted by what’s happening in the sham trial against President Trump. The American people can see it’s politically motivated. Their star witness, Michael Cohen, is a known liar who is clearly on a mission for personal revenge.

Donald Trump continues to be the most persecuted politician in the history of our country. Today, after getting two of his cases thrown out by the courts, Jack Smith is grasping at straws once again. Just 70 days before the election, Smith has brought yet another bogus indictment. Americans are sick of this corruption and shameless lawfare. They know this is not about justice, but about politics. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have set a dangerous, destructive precedent by weaponizing the Department of Justice and using it to prosecute their political opponents. The American people will not let this stand. November 5th cannot arrive soon enough.

The White House has had every opportunity to condemn the Olympics’ shameful mockery of the Last Supper, but they refuse to do it. Their silence should be taken as an endorsement. The more than 200 million Christians in America should take note.
