Recently, it seems the daily news is filled with rampant misinformation around the budget resolution passed by the House of Representatives and my vote to support it. Activist campaigns and false media reports are attempting to paint a picture that Republicans in the House voted to cut funding to Medicaid and Medicare. This is causing a public panic and suggesting people in need will not receive benefits. Therefore, I feel compelled to set the record straight and let you know this is not true.

However, the tide is starting to turn, and I am encouraged by the progress to secure our border.

Last week, I led a resolution in the House of Representatives to censure Representative Al Green (D-TX) for his actions during the president’s address to a Joint Session of Congress. The House passed my resolution with a bipartisan vote of 224-198-2, with ten of my Democratic colleagues voting to support the measure. While I took no pleasure in leading this effort, I could not sit idly by after watching the decorum of our chamber be blatantly disrespected.
