Last night, House Republicans agreed that we wouldn't fund DHS unless e-verify was passed because we’d have to take a vote on HR 2. Today, 11 hours later, the Continuing Resolution being considered strips mandatory e-verify and worsens our position on the border. I’m voting NO!

All last night and into this morning we worked to pass the budget resolution to fund ICE and CBP because Democrats are intent on defunding them. Senate Republicans got it passed, so now we wait on the House.

West Virginia Republicans are backing illegal migrant workers The people of West Virginia wanted E-Verify, a system that allows employers to electronically verify citizenship status The House passed it West Virginia Republicans, with a 30 member majority, delayed it “See sh*t like this is why you Republicans are gonna lose the midterms. West Virginia Senate delayed e-Verify until Saturday, and this is after they gutted the House Bill. 'cause the people of West Virginia were like, we want e-Verify the House passed a bill, putting in e-Verify, you know, like the people wanted them to do. Then the West Virginia Senate just completely f*cking gutted that bill and now they're probably not even gonna vote on it. Meanwhile, the Senate in West Virginia is 32 Republicans and 2 Democrats. This is not the Democrat's fault. This is the Republicans doing this. They have a 32 to 2 advantage. They don't need the Democrats to agree on anything — You could pass this at a moment's notice and you're choosing not to. That's why you're gonna lose in the midterms.”

Trump's tariffs crushed our economy, raised prices, and alienated our allies. Republicans passed rules preventing the House from voting to stop him. We defeated that 'gag rule' last night, and now we're voting on ending Trump's tariffs on Canada. Here's why I'm voting YES:

We’re voting on yet another continuing resolution today because last year’s Democrat majority pushed off full-year appropriations again and again. I’m hopeful that enough Democrats will reject their party’s threat of shutting down the government to get this bill passed today.

The DIGNITY Act of 2025 fixes our immigration mess. No amnesty. No federal benefits. No citizenship. Just border security, mandatory E-Verify, and Dignity. A final fix that is good for America, with zero cost to taxpayers.

Only a year ago, House Republicans were hyping up DOGE and @ElonMusk. Where is that enthusiasm now? Why are we not continuing to slash the fraud? Last night, why did 81 Republicans vote to fund a rogue organization that fuels global censorship and domestic propaganda?

Today we will vote on a continuing resolution that will fund all of government in one bill and doesn’t cut one penny. I spoke on the House floor this morning to urge my colleagues not to participate in this unserious and insincere political theater.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) says she doesn't agree with House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan for a 60-day continuing resolution to fund the government, saying "what we need to do is take up the bill that the Senate passed unanimously last night." "We need to take up the bill the Senate passed last night, and make sure that we can continue to negotiate on the vital reforms that are essential to ensure that ICE and CBP conduct their business like normal law enforcement agencies, and treat people with fairness and just," she says.

408 DAYS AGO, House Republicans took action & passed H.R. 2 to secure our border. This is the ONLY border bill that PASSED a body of Congress. Schumer REFUSES to look at it Schumer REFUSES to debate it. Schumer REFUSES to negotiate on it. We need leaders who take our border SERIOUSLY.

Sad day in the MI House. With a 66-43 vote HR 40 passed today. This resolution calls on the Michigan High School Athletic Association to adopt Donald Trump’s executive order banning trans girls from playing sports. I was proud to vote no and stand with the trans community.

No more half measures on homeland security. Tonight, House Republicans will vote to FULLY fund DHS for the 4th time — because keeping Americans safe isn’t optional. Even as Americans are being killed by illegal immigrants, Democrats keep pushing open borders. We won’t allow it.

Democrats put illegals first. Biden dismantled our border on purpose & REFUSES to reverse course. The ONLY border bill that PASSED is HR 2, it's been on Schumer's desk for 384 DAYS & he REFUSES to allow a vote. Americans want common sense & on 11/5 we will put YOU first again.

Donald Trump calls to Nationalize Voting because Democrat states are rigging our elections with illegals and voter fraud Trump says at least 15 Democrat states are stealing elections “These people were brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally and you know, amazing that the Republicans aren't tougher on it” “We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many 15 places, the Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they're counting votes — You're gonna see some interesting things come out”

I just laid out HB 3725 to make E-Verify mandatory for all employers in our state, in the House Business Committee. The committee has 7 Republican members and 2 Democrats. The members failed to motion to pass the bill, allowing Chairman Chris Banning to pocket the bill without the transparency of a vote. Full hearing here:

Instead of having the House vote on a bipartisan deal to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard that had been unanimously passed by the Senate, House Republicans instead put forward a bill that would prolong this shutdown and give Donald Trump and ICE a blank check with no accountability. I voted no.
