The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (#HSGAC) has a long tradition of working across the aisle to find areas of agreement to solve problems.
Under my chairmanship we developed a mission statement for the committee: to enhance the economic and national security of America and promote more efficient, effective and accountable government.
I’m honored to continue leading the committee’s important work on serious issues facing our nation – border security, cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection to name a few – in this nonpartisan spirit during the #116thCongress

.@chucktodd did not want to hear about Hunter Biden’s wrongdoings.
Here's a list of violations that the biased news media continues to ignore⬇️
1. Tax crimes: Federal agents investigating Hunter Biden have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes related to his income from various business ventures, including overseas.
2. Payments to escorts linked to human trafficking: Joe Biden may have financed his son’s participation in an escort ring tied to Russia, records from a copy of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop show.
Here’s the truth: I have never been reimbursed for travel to visit family in Florida, although the story leaves the impression that I have.
Per Senate rules, Senators can be reimbursed for travel back to official business in D.C.
This is precisely what happened.
Senators can be reimbursed for travel to official business, from somewhere other than their duty station, as long as the cost is equal to or less than the cost of traveling from the duty station.
This means my travel cost the taxpayer the same amount or less.
.@YouTube's censorship started in February when it removed 2 videos on my channel that featured the sworn testimony of Dr. Pierre Kory in front of my Senate committee Dec. 8, 2020. wsj.com/articles/youtu…
Why does .@CNN have such a hard time reporting the truth?
I relayed all of these facts to CNN prior to @AC360 but they of course did not air any of it.
I have always and will continue to thank @CapitolPolice for their service and express my strong support for law enforcement.
Line officers did an exemplary job protecting members of Congress and I commend them for their heroism.
On January 6th, and every time I’ve been asked since, I strongly condemned the grotesque violence, repugnant racial slurs, and other illegal acts that occurred at the Capitol. All those who engaged in those repulsive acts should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
I wanted to ask @SecMayorkas whether he was aware that human traffickers sell children to adults so they can exploit our asylum laws by posing as a family unit.
I wanted to ask @SecMayorkas: is he aware that children are recycled, sent back over the border to be used by another adult to pose as a family unit, and exploit our asylum laws?
