Proudly serving the people of Alabama's 6th Congressional District. Member of @HouseCommerce and @GOPoversight.

Joined November 2014
The Democrats are holding the government ransom for their radical wish list and putting partisan politics over the well-being of the American people.
While federal workers stress over missed paychecks, military families turn to food pantries, and airports around the country face delays — Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are bragging that “every day gets better” for them.  What a disgusting and revealing statement.  Democrats are gleeful about inflicting pain on the American people.
The targeted killing of Christians in Nigeria is not just persecution; it is a violation of human rights that borders on genocide. The United Nations' failure to intervene has allowed this to continue for far too long. Thankfully, President Trump is not allowing the United States to turn a blind eye. I’m proud to stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ by cosponsoring @RepRileyMoore's resolution to condemn these violent acts. rileymoore.house.gov/media/p…
China has been manipulating the marketplace for critical minerals and rare earth elements for far too long. Thanks to President Trump's leadership, we are finally breaking China's chokehold and strengthening America's energy independence! foxbusiness.com/economy/bess…

6 months in a row of ZERO illegal border crossings. 🇺🇸 ALL WE NEEDED WAS A NEW PRESIDENT.
Now that Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York, maybe the Marxist billionaires running the Democratic Party will give comrade Schumer permission to reopen the government.
🚨 Today marks the LONGEST government shutdown in U.S. history — all thanks to Democrats. Let’s be clear: Democrats chose to shut down our government to demand free healthcare for illegal aliens, all because they’ve let the radicals within their own party call the shots. Democrats see suffering families as political leverage. As a result, 42 million Americans on SNAP benefits are at risk of losing support. Federal workers, air traffic controllers, law enforcement, and Border Patrol agents continue to go without pay. The shutdown has already cost our economy billions in GDP. Democrats call this “leverage.” Americans know it for what it really is — deliberate sabotage.

Facts don't care about your talking points. ALL "Oversight Dems" voted to shut down the government and keep American federal workers without pay. They caused the shutdown and still play victim. Go back to the drawing board and end the Schumer Shutdown.
Congrats Republicans on breaking the record. Not something to be proud of. Now reopen the government.
Nigeria's genocide of Christians is unacceptable, and the United Nations has failed by not addressing these egregious acts. I thank President Trump for his leadership in calling out this atrocity and vowing to take action.
Proud to be joined by members of the House Values Action Team to commend President Trump’s leadership and call for the end of Christian persecution in Nigeria. The United States will not remain silent, will not be complacent, and will not turn away while Christians face violence and discrimination for their faith. aderholt.house.gov/media-cen…
The Biden-Harris Administration gave away billions of dollars to unequipped recipients to advance their agenda. Republicans are rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse to ensure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

🚨More than 3 MILLION passengers have been impacted by staffing related delays or cancellations since the Democrat Shutdown began.
Each day the government is shut down Americans nationwide are forced to go without pay, health care services, and much needed assistance. Democrats view this as leverage, and they aren’t afraid of letting Americans suffer to get what they want. It’s time to end this shutdown and get back to work for the people.

The American people are blessed to have a President who is fully committed to their safety and well-being — even when Senate Democrats so callously abandon them.

If you dial 211 or text your zip code to 898-211, United Way of Alabama will connect you to an operator or specialist that has access to a comprehensive database of community services.
Due to the Schumer Shutdown, SNAP and WIC benefits will not continue starting Saturday, November 1. If you or someone you know is in need, there are several food banks, community organizations, churches, and ministries offering assistance. 🧵⬇️
Enjoyed visiting @SamfordU and speaking to student ambassadors and members of the student executive board. Special thanks to President Beck Taylor.

Buckle up for this one. Based on our initial set of audits, more than $1B of federal taxpayer dollars were being spent on funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants. And my team is getting it back. Some want to deny that illegal immigrants are receiving Medicaid. Others insist it’s illegal for Medicaid to cover illegal immigrants. And others accurately point out that hospitals can provide emergency services to illegal immigrants under the program. We can all agree on this: rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse is essential to protecting this program for the most vulnerable. It’s also one of the Trump Administration’s top priorities. Let me lay down the facts: The truth is that federal law is supposed to prohibit federal Medicaid dollars broadly from being used to cover illegal immigrants. It does permit states to use Medicaid dollars for emergency treatment, regardless of patients’ citizenship or immigration status. States can also legally build Medicaid programs for illegal immigrants using their own state tax dollars, so long as no federal tax dollars are used. But that didn’t stop Democrats from going even further by breaking federal law to give illegal immigrants federal Medicaid dollars meant for American citizens. Earlier this year, the CMS team began auditing state Medicaid programs to ensure they were following the law and not spending any federal tax dollars on illegal immigrants outside of emergency Medicaid. What we found was shocking. In a preliminary review of 6 states, we found those states improperly using federal tax dollars for their allegedly state-funded program and providing coverage to individuals, including some with criminal records of murder and assault. Those states are: CA - $1,310,032,549 DC - $2,114,628 IL - $29,778,645 WA - $2,367,194 CO - $1,506,743 OR - $5,404,368 We notified the states, and many have begun refunding the money. But what if we had never asked? Whether willful or not, the states’ conduct highlights a terrifying reality: American taxpayers have been footing the bill for illegal immigrants’ Medicaid coverage, despite many Democrats and the media insisting otherwise. Democrats are demanding the repeal of the President’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in order for their votes to reopen the government. This law wisely strengthened our ability to limit federal dollars from being spent on health care for illegal immigrants. Until Democrats explicitly drop that demand, they’re blatantly holding the government hostage over giving Medicaid to illegal immigrants.
Day 31 of the Schumer Shutdown. The Democrats are providing all tricks and no treats this Halloween.
Day 30 of the Schumer Shutdown. The Democrats are holding paychecks, SNAP benefits, and the entire government hostage all for the sake of "leverage," and American families are paying the price. The Senate Democrats need to pass the clean CR and reopen our government.
