During a recent congressional hearing exploring how deep anti-Jewish feelings run on college campuses, the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Pennsylvania were called on to denounce calls for genocide against the Jewish people occurring at their institutions. Appallingly, all three leaders of these elite universities failed this simple moral test. These leaders showed themselves to be morally bankrupt, and Harvard and UPenn have now moved on from their presidents in part because of their failure to... READ MORE
Southeast and south-central Missouri is home to so many incredibly talented athletes. They spend hours upon hours training to be the best version of themselves while also taking care of business in the classroom, keeping up with chores at home, or going to work at night. That’s why I, along with countless Americans, are outraged that female participation in sports is at risk because of the Left’s radical attack on gender science. The Left’s push to allow biological males to compete in female spo... READ MORE
Over the last few years, Americans have been shouting at the top of their lungs for the Biden administration to take action to end the chaos on our border. Yet time and again, leaders on the Left have claimed the border is secure and President Biden has taken actions that only made the crisis even worse. But now, with the 2024 elections less than a year away, Biden and Washington Democrats have suddenly changed their tune. In addition to admitting the border is in chaos, they are also calling on...

Happy New Year! This is a time where we reflect on the last twelve months and look ahead to what’s in store for the upcoming year. Whether it’s the economy or the border, Americans have faced crisis after crisis ever since President Joe Biden took office. But the good news is that thanks to the American people voting in a Republican House majority, we’ve taken important steps to help undo the damage the Left inflicted on our nation.

There’s truly nothing like Christmas. It’s a special time of the year where we gather around with family and loved ones and take part in our favorite traditions, whether it’s singing along to beautiful hymns in church, making a cookie recipe passed down through generations, or sitting down at the dinner table for a delicious feast. But the most important thing is to remember why we celebrate this joyous day each year: the birth of Jesus Christ. For centuries, nativity scenes have helped tell the... READ MORE
Back in January, just weeks after my colleagues selected me to lead the House Ways and Means Committee, one of the first actions I took was to setup a whistleblower hotline to give IRS personnel a safe and confidential way to share information about misconduct they have witnessed involving the agency. Among the many individuals who reached out to share concerns were two brave IRS employees who provided evidence that became the foundation of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President J...

Here in southeastern and south-central Missouri, we’re very blessed to live in an area that’s home to some of the best hunting found anywhere in the state. While we always set out hoping for a successful day, what makes hunting really special is that it’s an opportunity to spend time with friends and family, making memories we’ll never forget. But as we know all too well, this proud and cherished tradition is constantly under attack by those on the Left, whether they’re trying to ban guns, ammo,... READ MORE
In the aftermath of the October 7 terror attack in Israel, antisemitic incidents in the U.S. have skyrocketed by 316% compared to the same time last year. We've seen massive hate-filled rallies in cities and on college campuses across the nation with people celebrating Hamas and calling for the elimination of Israel. Jewish students don’t feel safe walking to class, studying in the library, or going to sleep at night because of the dangerous rhetoric and antisemitic actions of pro-Hamas student ... READ MORE
The holiday season is officially upon us! With the longer days and warm weather behind us, we now get to look forward to Thanksgiving. This unique American holiday is one of my favorites. It’s an opportunity to gather around with family for a delicious meal. While sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner with loved ones is part of what makes Thanksgiving great, what sets this holiday apart is that it’s about giving thanks and reflecting on what we are grateful for. When President Franklin D. Rooseve... READ MORE
Across the country, millions of hardworking Americans are struggling to get by because of President Joe Biden’s cost-of-living crisis, where the price of goods has risen 17.7% since he took the oath of office. As a result, working-class Americans are having to make incredibly difficult financial decisions just so they can afford to put food on the table, clothes on their backs, and gasoline in their cars. And among those who have been hit the hardest are seniors and those nearing retirement. Rig... READ MORE
