.@Riley_Gaines_ is one of the most impactful voices in the fight to protect women’s sports, which is why I’m thrilled to have her as a champion for my Title IX Clarification Act. https://t.co/311cvdQhz0

Nearly 80% of Americans oppose males competing in women’s sports. Congress has a responsibility to our daughters to turn that overwhelming consensus into a lasting federal standard. Read my latest @DailyCaller opinion on my Title IX Clarification Act. https://t.co/wiQRGj4opG

I am grateful for President Trump’s bold leadership in reversing the Biden administration’s harmful policies and standing up for female athletes. But executive orders are temporary. Any future Democrat president will easily revoke those protections with the stroke of a pen unless Congress acts. My Title IX Clarification Act will codify into law that biological sex is the nationwide standard for schools receiving federal money, and any school that denies women equal opportunities by ignoring this standard could lose federal funding.

The future of North American energy trade — and the credibility of USMCA itself — depend on whether we are willing to enforce the deal we made. Read my latest @thehill opinion co-authored with Amy Andryszak, President and CEO of @INGAApipelines and Jason Grumet, CEO of @USCleanPower.

The first and most important responsibility of the federal government is to provide for the common defense. For four years, the Biden Administration abdicated that responsibility, failed to secure our sovereign border, and forced Texas to step up and spend more than $11 billion in state taxpayer dollars doing the job Washington refused to do. As Budget Chairman, I worked with my fellow Texans to make it a priority in the One Big Beautiful Bill to right this wrong and ensure Texas taxpayers were reimbursed for the significant financial harm inflicted upon our citizens. Today, I’m proud to announce that Texas has received the restitution it is owed. I want to thank President Trump for always making good on his promises including to remedy the injustice done to Texas taxpayers by making our state whole for holding the line when the Biden Administration failed to secure our border. This is a tremendous victory for the Lone Star State and the hardworking Texans who were double taxed to foot the bill for Biden’s dereliction of duty.

Never forget… We are at our best when we are “one nation, under God, and indivisible.” https://t.co/kpCZGq2nhF

💬 21🔁 3❤ 27Sep 11, 2026

Twenty-five years ago, America suffered the deadliest foreign attack on American soil in our nation’s history. I, like most Americans who lived through that day, remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the horror, helplessness, and anger of watching our country come under attack. But I also remember the tremendous pride and gratitude I felt as an American witnessing the courage, selflessness, and resolve shown by our fellow countrymen. At the time, I was working for President Bush in the White House, and I remember watching him meet that horrific moment with tremendous compassion, decisiveness, and resolve. I remember running out of the White House amid reports of a plane heading toward us. I remember the surreal feeling of being under siege as I watched smoke billowing from the Pentagon and fighter jets scrambling overhead. I remember gathering with White House staff on the South Lawn to pray for our country. In the aftermath, I remember lining the hallway outside the Oval Office as victims’ families walked out of a meeting with the President, everyone in tears. I remember watching the footage and listening to the voicemails of those who lost their lives that day. I remember our country uniting in grief and with a oneness of purpose. I remember people turning to God for comfort and strength. I remember Americans, regardless of their politics, standing proud of our country. More than anything, I remember feeling like we were truly one nation, under God, and indivisible. And it was powerful beyond words. Never forget.

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Republican majority” counts every issue vote on which most Republicans voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Republicans and most Democrats voted one way and this member the other. “With the Democratic majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Democrats. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
