I am proud to unveil my new bill: the Midland Over Moscow Act.
This legislation will strengthen U.S. energy independence and force the Biden Administration to develop an energy security strategy that will fuel the world with American—not Russian—energy.
It is long past time for President Biden to put Midland over Moscow.
This week, I led 57 of my Republican colleagues in sending a letter to President Biden to make the U.S.-China agricultural trade relationship more balanced and reciprocal.
More than two years ago, the United States and China signed a two-year Phase One trade deal that required China to make structural reforms to its trade regime and import $73.9 billion of U.S. agricultural productsin 2020 and 2021 combined. Today, China has failed to live up to that commitment by $16 billion.
America must enforce our agreements. I am proud to join my colleagues in calling on President Biden to hold China accountable for their Phase One commitments. This administration must take immediate action and stand up for the agricultural producers that feed and clothe our nation. It’s time to put the United States first and stand up to our adversaries.
On Monday, I called for the Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to resign.
Secretary Mayorkas is presiding over the worst border crisis in history and lying about it to Congress. By breaking federal border security laws, he allowed over 2 million illegal immigrants to cross the southern border along with record-numbers of deadly drugs and illicit materials in only one year. His actions are putting the safety of American citizens in jeopardy.
In January of this year, DHS reported 153,941 migrant encounters. This is almost double the number of illegal crossings in January 2021 (78,414) and more than quadruple January 2020 (36,585).
DHS also reported 62,573 migrants were released into U.S. just last month alone.
Secretary Mayorkas must resign.

Supporting Canadian Truckers
Truckers are essential workers & COVID-19 vaccine mandates are wrong. This week, I joined a letter supporting the Canadian truckers protesting the tyrannical vaccine mandates in their country and urging Joe Biden to work with Canada to lift the mandates on essential travel at the border.
