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.

Tragically, 13 U.S. Servicemembers died in the terrorist attack on August 26th at the Kabul Airport. May God bless their families, and may they know that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Our weak Commander-In-Chief invited bad actors to attack those donning the stars and stripes, a symbol that has long been known throughout the world to stand for freedom and strength. The Biden regime’s lack of leadership has fueled terrorists to grow in strength and numbers.

am grateful to all the contractors and CDOT employees working around the clock to reopen this critical artery for Western Colorado and the West. Having an opportunity to see this catastrophic disaster firsthand has reinforced the severity of this event and the need for long-term resiliency. I will continue leading the charge to get I-70 fully reopened while collaborating with regional stakeholders to find viable solutions moving forward.

Since day one in Congress, I have fought hard to ensure that the Bureau of Land Management headquarters remains in Grand Junction. I joined Governor Jared Polis, Colorado Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper, Congressman Joe Neguse, and local stakeholders in a bipartisan roundtable urging Secretary Haaland to keep the Bureau’s headquarters where it belongs: near the people.

I promised that I’d defend your Second Amendment rights all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary, and I’m keeping my promise. I was proud to join Rep. Claudia Tenney and 174 additional members of Congress in sending an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court in the case of New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, urging the Court to uphold Americans’ Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms.

My office is closely monitoring the Morgan Creek Fire and other wildfires in Colorado and the West. I have been meeting with firefighters and community stakeholders throughout the Third Congressional District to offer support and hear their concerns.

Joe Biden proved that he doesn’t care at all about rural communities when he nominated proven ecoterrorist, Tracy Stone-Manning, to lead the Bureau of Land Management. She is a radicalized extremist who believes that babies are a cancer to the earth, that ranchers are destroying the West, that land management decisions are best made by bureaucrats in D.C., and that using violent tactics like tree spiking is justified in the name of environmentalism. Her criminal involvement in ecoterrorist activities is so extreme that even Obama’s Bureau of Land Management director called on Biden to withdraw her nomination. America does not negotiate with terrorists who’ve been investigated by the FBI, and it certainly shouldn’t appoint one to lead a federal agency.

There is an ongoing humanitarian crisis at our southern border, but Biden is negligent to enforce the laws and uphold his duty under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Instead of trying to fix things, the Biden regime has actively made the situation worse by terminating the remain in Mexico policy and implementing measures that incentivize illegal immigration such as amnesty and catch and release. President Biden has facilitated this crisis by not enforcing the Immigration and Nationality Act, which requires the President to detain illegal aliens and enforce border security measures.
