Thank you for standing with our ally Israel as it confronts Palestinian terrorism and mourns the lives lost in this senseless shooting attack. Allies stand together. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

A violent terrorist in Israel killed at least 8 people today at a Jewish synagogue on International Holocaust Day. I condemn this abhorrent act and will be praying for all those impacted.

Yesterday, I visited Callaway Stables in Shelbyville and had the opportunity to ride one of their well-cared for Tennessee Walking Horses. The is a time honored tradition enjoyed by multiple generations and a huge driver of our local and state economy.

As crazy as this week has been in DC, I’m grateful to have had my wife Amy here. We have a lofty task ahead of us, but I implore our party to stand together & serve as the last line of defense against Biden’s disastrous policies. Thank you for the opportunity to serve #TN04🇺🇸

Everyone’s voice needs to be heard, but it is time to come together as party and choose our next speaker. Our borders are open, our economy is plummeting, and Americans are hurting. We have important work to do and we need to move forward as a united front.

I just got off a call with the Tennessee Valley Authority regarding the rolling blackouts across Middle Tennessee. The latest update at this time is that TVA believes the power grid has been stabilized enough to where blackouts will no longer be necessary.

With just 11 days left in control of the House, the Left is pushing through an almost $2 TRILLION spending bill that is 4,000+ pages in a last minute power grab. I voted no on this pork barrel package.

I signed ’s letter to Biden regarding plans to send illegal migrants to TN. The TN delegation is putting the Biden Administration on notice that we will not stand idly by and let illegal migrants flood our state. We will fight to protect the safety of our citizens.

Biden’s plan to release illegal migrants into our state is unconscionable. The good people of #TN04 will be put at risk for their safety and suffer economic repercussions. I am outraged and will fight alongside our congressional delegation to reverse this impending disaster.

Our southern border is open. The end of Title 42 will threaten the safety of every American. That’s why I introduced H.R. 7359. A bill that uses Title 42 protections to expel illegal migrants due to the public health crisis posed by fentanyl.

Biden has done nothing to secure our southern border. This puts lives in danger & causes a drain on our US economy. That’s why I introduced the Common Sense Standards for Visa Applicants. This prohibits applicants who are anticipated to be a public charge from obtaining a visa.

I signed a letter to Vice Admiral Buck regarding religious exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccine mandate at the US Naval Academy. No one who signs up to protect our country should be denied over their choice to not receive a coronavirus vaccination. Read the letter here ⬇️

Our border is seeing a surge of illegal crossings & influx of deadly drugs. We must codify Title 42. This is why I introduced the Stop Fentanyl Border Crossings Act. This legislation will fight back against illegal drug smuggling at the southern border.

Things no one is thankful for this year: #Bidenflation 's comprehensive report shows the price of a Thanksgiving meal is up 20% from last year. It's time to end reckless progressive tax and spend policies.

🦃 The cost of this year's #Thanksgiving dinner is 𝐔𝐏 𝟐𝟎% from last year. Once again, #Bidenflation is impacting the holiday season and American families and consumers are left to face the consequences at the grocery store. More from @FarmBureau 👇 fb.org/newsroom/farm-
