ICYMI: McCarthy is right. Republicans should stand together and allow the next Congress to develop a spending package.

As I said last week, Republicans will soon be in the majority and in the driver's seat to fight for our priorities.
That's why every Republican should be a NO on Democrats' lame-duck omnibus bill.

Ahead of the Senate vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, military members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated are speaking out about their struggles since asking the military to honor their religious objections to the mandate.

We can’t take back the hardship that the military vaccine mandate has inflicted on countless servicemembers. But by adopting this amendment, we can recognize an injustice and take steps to restore those brave men and women who deserve our best.

Passing a clean CR will ensure we listen to the peoples voices and that the incoming House majority has the opportunity to make decisions in the best interest of the American people.

We’re witnessing a conspicuous, reoccurring trend whereby leaders use the threat of a government shutdown to pressure members into voting for inflated spending provisions without time to read the bill.

Tonight, I’ll take to the Senate floor and ask my colleagues to pass a “CR” to avoid a shutdown and allow the next Congress to negotiate a budget.
Congress spends far too much. But make no mistake, this is about more than money. It’s about progressive Pelosi-Schumer policies.

We cannot use the pay of our servicemembers as leverage. We must pass a short-term spending bill that will take us into next year NOW.

Don't let desperate Democrats sneak the JCPA into the NDAA. It has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with silencing conservative voices and independent journalism.

The JCPA does little to "preserve" journalism and instead works to the benefit of large corporate news conglomerates.

Including JCPA in the NDAA is a desperate attempt for Democrats to pass the legislation during the lame-duck session of Congress.

My amendment simply prohibits the Federal Government from retaliating against schools, businesses, and organizations because of their religious beliefs about same-sex marriage.
That is all it does.

Bad news: The RFMA—without sufficient protections for religious liberty—just progressed further in the Senate.
Good news: There's still time to adopt my amendment and protect the religious liberties enshrined in the First Amendment.
