It’s a glorious day for the beginning of a new golden age in America. Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump, on being sworn in as our next Commander-in-Chief. The American people wanted real change, and I look forward to supporting your agenda in getting our country back on track and undoing the damage done, both domestically and abroad, by the previous administration.

Congratulations to my dear friend Máximo Álvarez on being awarded the Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom by the @VoCommunism Memorial Foundation. Max is living proof of the American Dream. His story should be told again and again so that every generation remembers that freedom is never guaranteed—and is always just one generation away from being lost. His journey is also a powerful reminder of the greatness of the United States, a place where freedom, opportunity, and perseverance can turn even the hardest past into a future full of promise.

We must not abandon the Cuban people. #SOSCuba #CubaLibre

This is what happens when TSA agents start calling out to work side jobs to feed their families. They've now gone weeks without pay, thanks to Democrats shutting down DHS.

RT @HouseAppropsGOP: @RepLaLota is exactly right - Senate Democrats shut down @DHSgov over a month ago, limiting the very agency responsibl…

El tiempo de espera en los controles de seguridad de la TSA en el Aeropuerto Internacional Hartsfield-Jackson de Atlanta superó los 90 minutos el jueves por la mañana. Agradezcan a los demócratas por quitar el financiamiento al DHS.

The AIRPORT LINES you’re seeing now are CHILD’S PLAY compared to what you will see next week if TSA misses another PAYCHECK! @SenSchumer and the DEMS’ DHS Shutdown could cause a GRINDING HALT for travelers✋ 📺 My discussion with @SquawkCNBC ⬇️

FACT CHECK: Republicans PASSED a bill TWICE to pay TSA agents and fund DHS. Nearly every Democrat voted against it both times. The truth is Democrats want us to REOPEN our border in exchange for funding Homeland Security, and it’s NOT going to happen!

“The tax cuts really do help everyday Americans like me and my little one here who's 18 months.” The Working Families Tax Cuts are helping moms like Adriana keep up with the costs of raising a growing toddler! @MarioDB @RepLisaMcClain

🚨 Tune in tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. ET as I convene a field hearing on accountability and reform at the United Nations. As Chair of the subcommittee that funds U.S. national security priorities abroad, I've worked to protect taxpayer dollars by cutting waste, strengthening oversight, and demanding real accountability from the UN. I look forward to hearing from @USAmbUN @michaelgwaltz about the great work he and his team have done and how they'll implement FY26 directives to serve our national security interests.

Wait times in Houston are reaching nearly 3 HOURS, all because Democrats won’t fund the Department of Homeland Security. Miss your flight? Thank a Democrat.

Estoy profundamente preocupado por el estado de salud de Roilán, quien se encuentra en condición crítica, con su vida en riesgo y permanece injustamente detenido a manos del régimen asesino en Cuba. Me preocupa gravemente su bienestar mientras languidece en las inhumanas condiciones carcelarias del régimen. ¡Roilan Álvarez Rensoler debe ser liberado de inmediato!

TSA officers are doing their jobs. Democrats should do theirs.

With one child in college and a 17-year-old getting ready to enroll, every dollar counts for Bob’s family. Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, Bob’s refund is up 20% this year! “This will go straight to US… they really do care about us, the working American people.” @MarioDB @RepLisaMcClain

Todo un honor estar reunido con valientes venezolanos @jesusarmasccs y @SairamRivas. Me alegra profundamente verlos en libertad. Sus voces deben ser escuchadas. Jesús fue detenido injustamente en El Helicoide, uno de los centros de tortura más notorios de América Latina, donde sufrió abusos inimaginables a manos del régimen. Sairam también fue prisionera política del régimen. El régimen debe saber que Estados Unidos sigue muy de cerca la situación en Venezuela, especialmente la de todos los presos políticos que continúan injustamente detenidos y sometidos a abusos, no solo en El Helicoide, sino también en centros como El Rodeo y en todo el país. Es hora de liberar a todos los presos políticos y de cerrar estos centros de represión que han causado tanto dolor al pueblo venezolano.

The Working Families Tax Cuts are helping DoorDash drivers like Nikki keep MORE of their hard-earned money! @MarioDB @RepLisaMcClain

Aplaudo la decisión basada en principios y el firme liderazgo del Presidente de Costa Rica, @RodrigoChavesR, al expulsar a los diplomáticos del régimen castrista. Costa Rica continúa siendo un socio clave de Estados Unidos en el avance de prioridades compartidas de seguridad regional, incluyendo la lucha contra el narcoterrorismo, el combate al crimen internacional, la migración responsable y la confrontación de amenazas antiestadounidenses como las que representa el régimen en Cuba. Ecuador actuó. Ahora Costa Rica ha hecho lo propio. Otros países de la región deberían seguir este ejemplo.

I commend Costa Rican President @RodrigoChavesR’s principled decision and leadership to expel the Cuban regime's diplomats. Costa Rica continues to be a vital U.S. partner in advancing shared regional security priorities, including countering narcoterrorism, combatting international crime, managing migration, and confronting anti-American threats like the Cuban regime. Ecuador took action. Now, Costa Rica has done the same. Others in the region should follow.

Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism—responsible for killing thousands of Americans, attacking our allies, and even plotting attacks here in Washington, D.C. Yet now, as the United States takes decisive action against that regime and its leadership, Democrats are suddenly outraged. Where was that outrage when President Obama carried out months-long military operations in Libya, which was not a direct threat to the U.S., without congressional approval? youtube.com/watch?v=0_x0Pr…
