Proudly serving #TX36 residents in Congress. Chairman of @housescience, Border Security Caucus Co-Chair, and @TransportGOP member.

🚨 I just introduced the Birthright Citizenship Act! This bill will build on President Trump’s executive order and codify these critical reforms into law. It’s time to END the exploitation of loopholes in our immigration system.

Caught a bandit in my barn this morning. Mean little socialist. Showed up uninvited, took everything he could carry, and still expected free housing.

Energy independence starts with American energy. Honored to earn a 100% from @AEA. I’ll keep fighting to unleash American energy, create economic opportunity, and get Washington out of the way.

This summer, our eyes were fixed on the sky as the @usairforce put on a show in celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Their grit, drive, and pursuit of excellence have defended our nation for 79 years, and I’m grateful to be among them. Happy Birthday, @usairforce.

Honored to receive my 50-year award from the Texas Dental Association. It sure went by fast! After 50 years in dentistry and a decade in Congress, I can confirm: sometimes pulling teeth is the easier job! 🦷

At yesterday’s hearing, Chairman @RepBrianBabin asked whether current federal oversight processes can reliably identify high-risk gain-of-function research—and how those standards should apply to foreign recipients of U.S. research funding.   Dr. @AnemoneFranz discussed stronger risk-based reviews, restrictions, and oversight throughout the research lifecycle. ⬇️

Southeast Texas is an economic powerhouse—our ports and waterways help keep America moving. That’s why I proudly voted YES on #WRDA2026 to strengthen the critical infrastructure our communities, industries, and families rely on every day.

Texas has been at the heart of America’s human spaceflight program for over 60 years. With @NASAJohnson, Mission Control, world-class universities, and an unmatched aerospace workforce, Texas is uniquely positioned to prepare the next generation of American space leaders. babin.house.gov/news/documen…

America must be able to defend itself in every domain — including space. As China and Russia develop counterspace weapons, @USSpaceForce’s newly acknowledged on-orbit space-control capabilities send a clear message: America can and will defend our forces and critical space assets. cnbc.com/amp/2026/09/15/weap…

🚨Watch NOW 🚨 @RepBrianBabin speaks in support of the Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act: “Illegally harvested seafood can make its way into U.S. markets, undercutting the fishermen and seafood producers who play by the rule.”

Chairmen @RepBrianBabin and @RepMcCormick are examining potential foreign influence behind organized opposition to U.S. AI data center development.

As America works to maintain its leadership in AI, we must ensure foreign interests are not working to undermine the energy infrastructure needed to power it.

What it means to be an American changed forever on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years ago, radical Islamist terrorists attacked our homeland in an attempt to bring America to its knees. They failed. We will never forget the nearly 3,000 innocent lives stolen that day. We will never forget who was responsible. And we must never allow complacency or liberal DEI policies to blind us to the threat of radical Islam. America will never bow to terror.

Charlie Kirk stood boldly for faith, freedom, and peaceful debate. He understood the importance of reaching the next generation and devoted his life to equipping young Americans to defend their faith, stand for their values, and lead with courage. Charlie embodied Ephesians 6:19–20, fearlessly speaking truth and proclaiming the Gospel. May we honor his legacy by doing the same.

This week, I had the opportunity to spend time with students at Woodville Middle School. We discussed the foundation of our government, the men brave enough to start it, and our responsibility to preserve the republic handed to us. Thanks for having me, @WoodvilleISDadm!
