Let me be clear: I do not believe Democrats are in love with terrorists, and I apologize for what I said earlier this week. (1/5)
The comment I made on Wednesday evening was in response to a question about the War Powers Resolution being introduced in the House and House Democrats’ attempt to limit the president’s authority. (2/5)
As someone who served in Iraq in 2008, I witnessed firsthand the brutal death of countless soldiers who were torn to shreds by this vicious terrorist. Soleimani was nothing less than an evil mastermind who viciously killed and wounded thousands of Americans. (3/5)
Jay Powell was not only a respected leader in Georgia, but more importantly, my dear friend & brother.
When he was elected, he was seated next to me on the floor. Over those many hours on the floor, he shared his thoughts about life, law & politics that made me a better person.
Jay always had my back even through the storms of politics, which means more than anything. He helped me as a new attorney and provided wise counsel over the years regarding our public service.
I saw Jay last Friday night for what I now know was the last time. We talked, we laughed, and we picked on each other as only friends can do. When it came time for the event to start, he hugged me and said, 'I love you man, let's talk again soon.'
#HR5 would demolish the hard-won rights of women, putting them once again at the mercy of any biological man who identifies, at any moment, as a woman.
Allowing men to compete against women in women’s sports isn’t demoralizing because female athletes aren’t talented; it’s demoralizing because it makes their talent irrelevant. #HR5
The damage #HR5 would inflict on vulnerable Americans isn’t limited to women. Administering chemotherapy to a healthy, cancer-free patient is malpractice, but #HR5 could compel doctors to prescribe hormones & perform major surgeries on adolescents based on their gender identity.
Legislation to provide legal status to certain illegal immigrant populations isn’t a new topic—Congress has been here before.
Congress’ penchant for kicking the immigration can down the road is unsustainable and unfair to American citizens, legal immigrants, and everyone who respects our generous immigration system and hopes to make this country their home.
Day after day, parents give their children to smuggling cartels, employers have no reliable way of verifying an employee’s work eligibility documents, and adults who drag children through dangerous border crossings are rewarded with release into America’s interior.
Yesterday, House Democrats introduced legislation to impose background checks on all gun sales and most gun transfers. rollcall.com/news/congress/…
While I share my colleagues’ conviction that Congress must find effective ways to prevent violence, promote public safety, and protect life, today’s bill is not a solution on any of these fronts.
Recent shootings reflect failures not of existing policy—background checks are already in place and working across the board—but failures in its implementation.
