For nearly 20 years, Dr. Anthony Fauci was wired into America's intelligence and defense apparatus.

Newly released documents from our investigation show how that access let him shape the COVID-19 origins debate — across science, the IC, and the public.
🧵 READ MORE: hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/upl… These documents corroborate CIA Whistleblower James Erdman’s sworn testimony before our committee last month that Fauci helped steer the Intelligence Community's COVID origins assessment toward the NIH-funded scientists behind "Proximal Origin."

🚨Big News on Hemp: Introducing the Hemp Safety Enforcement Act

Congress's last-minute revival of hemp prohibition, included in last year's Continuing Appropriations Act, would ban most hemp products and wipe out the multi-billion-dollar industry, while depriving individuals of products they depend upon to improve sleep, relieve anxiety, and alleviate pain.

My bill would protect thousands of jobs, family farms, and safe access for veterans and seniors. 2/ About half the states, including Kentucky, have already established their own regulatory rules for hemp: age limits, serving size caps, and testing requirements. These state laws let farmers thrive while keeping products out of kids’ hands.

President Trump is right to strongly consider leaving NATO.
I support the President’s constitutional authority under Article II to withdraw from any treaty — including NATO — without needing Senate approval. Congress tried to block that with the 2023 Kaine-Rubio provision in the NDAA, but the Constitution grants the executive power to the president.
thehill.com/homenews/admin… Treaty making is an executive power. The Constitution’s requirement that treaties may only be made with the consent of two-thirds of the Senate is a limitation on this inherent executive authority, the purpose of which is make it difficult to get enter into alliances.

🧵 The $174.6 billion minibus monstrosity just passed the Senate (82-15) with 46 Republicans voting in the affirmative. My Penny Plan would have cut 6 percent off every federal dollar spent, saving over 10 billion on this minibus. But the swamp couldn’t bear to give up even that.

After all, how would Washington survive without funding studies on whether sunfish are meaner after tequila or gin?

I am currently working with @FBIDirectorKash to investigate Fauci malfeasance in office. The FBI concluded, with "moderate confidence", that the pandemic most likely originated from a lab incident in Wuhan, China.

Over the last six years, compelling evidence has emerged supporting the lab origin of the pandemic and unraveling a web of deception, the vast COVID coverup. We learned that NIH funneled federal funds through EcoHealth Alliance to support gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, research that may have caused the pandemic. The coronavirus outbreak brought the world’s attention to the dangers of gain-of-function research. This kind of research occurs when a virus is manipulated to increase its strength or contagiousness—literally, causing it to gain a function.

Anthony Fauci continued to repeat the talking points of the Chinese Communist Party and insisted that SARS-CoV-2 spread from bats to an intermediate host animal, then to humans. A wet market in Wuhan, China, was allegedly where this “spillover” occurred.

That’s why I referred Fauci twice for criminal prosecution under Biden.

🧵Congress can’t cut spending through DOGE without the President sending a formal “rescission” bill. That’s the law. It only takes a simple majority to pass—but so far, no bill has been sent. In this case, Congress is waiting on the White House. For over a month, we’ve heard rumors of a $9B rescission—$8B in foreign aid, $1B from NPR. But it never happened mainly because weak Republicans threatened to vote no. $9B is a rounding error, but it’s something. Caving to big-spending Republicans is business as usual for GOP leadership.

I'm speaking on the floor in defense of the First Amendment and AGAINST banning @tiktok_us! Watch now: c-span.org/congress/?cham… If Republicans want to continuously lose elections for a generation, they should pass this bill to ban Tik Tok, a social media app used by 150 million people, primarily young Americans, use.

🧵 Federal law shields various protected classes against discrimination, yet the government continues to fund medical facilities that discriminate against those with objections to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here’s why it matters (1/8): Last year, 14-year-old Yulia Hicks went to Duke University Hospital for a kidney transplant. She was not vaccinated at the time, and medical officials purportedly told her that she could not proceed until she was. (2/8)

I’m kicking off my countdown to Christmas with a special #12DaysOfChristmas video collection, exploring all of the lovely gifts from the Biden Administration. On the 1st day of Christmas the Biden Administration gave to me… On the 2nd day of Christmas the Biden Administration gave to me inflated drink prices…#12DaysOfChristmas

In light of the recent $1.5 trillion spending package, I’m renewing my call for the Senate to pass my Read the Bills resolution which would provide sufficient time for legislation to be thoroughly reviewed. My resolution would require bills, amendments, and conference reports to be filed for 1 day for every 20 pages before they can be considered, while leaving legislators room to act in emergencies.
