- Last week the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the National Defense Authorization Act with a bipartisan vote of 344-81. This bill represents a strong commitment to enacting accounting reforms and rebuilding our military. As chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, I am grateful that this bill modernizes our forces and begins to close the readiness gap facing our servicemembers, fulfilling President Donald Trump's pledge to rebuild the American military. This legislation also supports military families by providing the largest pay raise in 8 years and by giving military families greater flexibility when relocating during the school year. The primary function of the national government is to provide for our national defense, to ensure that our servicemembers have the training, equipment, and resources they need to achieve the goal as established by Senator Barry Goldwater, ``Why Not Victory.'' I appreciate the determined leadership of Chairman Mac Thornberry, and I look forward to continuing to work with him to advance the legislation through the conference process. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________2 sources2017govinfo.gov
- on behalf of American families, Republicans in the House, led by Mike Johnson, and Senate have delivered on the promises made by President Donald Trump to enact historic tax cuts. Among the accomplishments: Take-home pay for families will increase by over $10,000 per year, no tax on tips for millions of workers, no tax on overtime for over 80 million hourly workers, no tax on Social Security, providing tax relief for 88 percent of seniors. President Trump and Republicans in the House and Senate are committed to cutting taxes, increasing wages, and creating millions of jobs. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Trump is reinstituting existing laws to protect American families with peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin's lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump, talking lovely in the morning, killing babies later in the afternoon with Russian missiles. Our sympathy to the family of Iryna Zarutska of Charlotte, North Carolina, on her merciless murder.2 sources2025govinfo.gov
- led by House Republicans with Speaker Mike Johnson, President Donald Trump has signed the Working Families Tax Cut Act into law. As a result, the tax code will be simplified for over 90 percent of families, turning tax season of dread into a season of historic relief. Families will pay no taxes on the first $31,500 earned. As these tax cuts are retroactive to 2025, the average refund is projected to increase by $1,000, with a total of $91 billion of additional refunds being returned to the American people this spring, allowing hardworking families to keep their own money. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Trump is reinstituting peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump, attacking civilian utilities in Ukraine to freeze the Ukrainians to death as Stalin starved the Ukrainians to death. As Americans endure freezing temperatures, war criminal Putin is murderously destroying the infrastructure of Ukraine, freezing Ukrainians now with the incredibly disgusting situation of no electricity, no heat, no water, betraying a pledge by war criminal Putin that he would not destroy the utilities. This is as the people of Ukraine are facing temperature of 4 degrees and freezing to death by war criminal Putin.2 sources2026govinfo.gov
