Despite what the mainstream media may say, Biden’s $4.9 trillion Build Back Broke Act massively grows government spending, raises taxes by $1.2 trillion, drives our country further into debt, and will continue to increase the highest inflation in over 40 years.

I joined 175 Members of Congress in an amicus brief defending the Second Amendment before the Supreme Court in the case of New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. For the last century, New York’s mandates have banned Americans from carrying a firearm outside of their home unless a public safety bureaucrat determines they have “proper cause.” I searched the Second Amendment, but I couldn’t find the phrase “proper cause,” all I saw was “shall not be infringed.”

One of the greatest honors of my job is the opportunity to assist brave veterans across Colorado and hear their stories about stepping up to serve their fellow Americans. Recently, my office was contacted by a local Colorado veteran who wanted to answer the call of service and reenlist in the Navy. He was honorably discharged due to medical issues, but he eventually became healthy again and desired to reenlist. Even though his doctor medically cleared him, the Navy initially denied his reenlistment and found him medically disqualified. He then contacted my office for help.

I cosponsored the Protecting Financial Privacy Act to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from accessing and monitoring Americans’ bank transactions above $600.

With all the crises America faces, from Afghanistan to the invasion at our southern border, Nancy Pelosi and radical House Democrats passed the so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act” to codify Roe v. Wade and legalize the on-demand murder of preborn children across the country. I was proud to join Students for Life of America in fighting against this radical bill.

This past weekend, I reflected on twenty years since the events of 9/11/01. While 9/11 was a day of unspeakable tragedy, we also saw unparalleled heroism, with firefighters and police officers running towards danger. On 9/11, we were attacked, and instead of letting the fear polarize our country, we came together with record-breaking numbers of Americans volunteering to give blood, and with thousands of Americans stepping forward to serve our country in our Armed Forces.

Americans across the country are horrified by the tragedy in Afghanistan. Instead of leading the country through this crisis, Joe Biden lied to the American people, lied to our Afghan allies, and cared more about optics than saving lives. On August 31, a partial transcript of Biden’s phone call with Afghan President Ghani was leaked to the press. In the phone call, Biden pressured the Afghan President to “project a different picture” “whether it is true or not” to “change perception.” Furthermore, Biden promised President Ghani that he would provide air support to the Afghan military. Biden broke his promise, and the Afghan military suffered defeat in only a matter of days.
