Ten years ago, I commanded a mission in Panama where my troops & I trained, patrolled, and lived side-by-side with Panamanian Public Forces.
They are our allies, not our enemies.

Newsmax or MSNBC, I'll go everywhere to talk about lowering Rx drug prices by reforming the drug-pricing middlemen known as PBMs. The bill is drafted, the bill is bipartisan, and the bill has the votes in the House & Senate. Speaker Johnson: bring up the bill!

I grew up with posters of the Founding Fathers on my bedroom wall. Maybe the most important thing that George Washington ever did was hand over his sword to the Continental Congress.

In an alternate universe, Senate Republicans would be rejecting RFK, Jr outright, on principle.
Here on Earth, we at least need Senate Democrats to hold the line and make clear that an anti-vax, anti-science conspiracist is not fit to run federal health programs.

Ultra-processed food is bad. So is measles.
America deserves a Health & Human Services Secretary who gets both concepts.

The more freely that people can share ideas & information, the better America can compete for hearts & minds. For that reason, I led members of the China Select Committee in calling on the State Department to issue an innovation prize for tech that helps punch through internet firewalls.
The axis of autocracies – China, Russia & Iran – censor their own media and pump propaganda into other nations. China, in particular, has built a parallel information universe behind the Great Firewall, which it is now extending to other states.

The Kremlin appears culpable for the downing of Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243. Trump should condemn this atrocity and use it as the break from his both-sidesing of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Our ally will win if the West supports it.

Claim: Trump can 'negotiate' a better deal if the Supreme Court suspends the law.
Reality: Removing leverage over your adversary rarely results in a better deal.
Claim: Forcing TikTok to sell to American ownership violates the First Amendment.
Reality: Freedom of speech is not freedom of reach. Individuals can post whatever they want, but the CCP doesn't have a civil right to algorithmically amplify content that undermines Americans' sense of self & society.
Claim: TikTok supports American consumers & businesses.
Reality: TikTok pumps propaganda into American youth on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

I commanded a training mission in the Panama Canal Zone and currently serve on the House Select Committee on China. The Panamanians are professional and pro-American. Bullying them doesn't help America get tough on China.

As co-chair of the Fentanyl Working Group, I am committed to passing the legislation we drafted next term that will honor these lost lives by taking decisive action to dismantle the fentanyl supply chain.
Parents like Deb, throughout Massachusetts & beyond, are facing another holiday season without children because this chemical hijacked their brains.
This year, I met Deb Schmill, a mother in my district whose vibrant young daughter, Becca, lost her life to fentanyl poisoning on 16 Sept 2020.

Voting to confirm a quack & conspiracist as the nation's chief health official betrays the Democratic Party's commitment to science and children's health.
No Senate Democrat should be fooled by RFK, Jr's healthy-lifestyle rhetoric or his 'just-asking-questions' anti-vax excuses.

Building a nuclear power plant that can cruise around the world and launch missiles underwater – without being detected – is an unmatched feat of industrial engineering. It’s also a major opportunity for southern New England’s economy, as much of the supply chain clusters in this region.
