Kay Granger has been a champion for Texas and a faithful public servant for the people of the 12th District for nearly three decades. She has certainly been a loyal friend and encourager to me since I came to Congress.

In order to allow Congress more time to reach consensus on how best to reform FISA and Section 702 while maintaining the integrity of our critical national security programs, the House will consider the reform and reauthorization bill at a later date.

This story is remarkable. The President & White House have spent months falsely claiming they lack authority to take additional executive actions to seal the border in a cynical attempt to demand new legislation. Let’s check the tape (1/3)

1. This is obvious nonsense

2. Punchbowl has promoted this claim multiple times without even a hint of skepticism

3. Posting a bill would be a very straightforward way to clear up any so-called 'misinfo'

House Republicans once may have backed a tough budget plan but they never cast a vote that specified they would cut 2,000 Border Patrol agents; instead, they have voted to increase the total by nearly 2,000.”

Proud to hear Secretary Pompeo say what I've known for a long time: that Greece is a pillar for stability & prosperity in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Secretary's deep concern over Turkey's intransigence, & U.S. actions to bolster Greece, are reshaping the region in a meaningful way.
