Let’s build the future of Eastern Washington 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryGOP, @HouseForeignGOP, @EdWorkforceCmte

Mother Teresa left a tremendous legacy of compassion and service. I was honored to visit the Missionaries of Charity today to pay homage to her legacy and to see the living example of the Catholic faith in action.


America has a lot of options to deal with Iran and despite what DC myopic cynics say, we control the timeline. A lot of the armchair analysis treat gas prices and the Nov elections like a systemic rather than temporary factor. Personally, I’d keep the foot on the gas but just as the history of warfare often followed a “fighting season” along the agricultural cycle so too could there be a reduction in intensity for “election season” related to impacts of global economic factors. Big picture America is much safer than we were 10 weeks ago because Irans military capability, nuke program, terrorist proxy network is much reduced and their leaders know they can be reached out and touched at will. If the Iranians IRCG were smart (unlikely), they’d cut a real agreement right now, because post November Donald Trump will likely be in less of a mood to “negotiate.” 🇺🇸



College athletics is so crazy now. Cal baseball, a team located on the Pacific coast but somehow in the ACC, flew to Charlotte, North Carolina for a single-elimination conference tournament game against Stanford… a school 90 minutes from their campus. They traveled 2,715 miles across the country to play a regional rival, lost one game, then had to hop on a 5.5-hour flight back to California 😂

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), along with NAACP, calls for boycotts of institutions within the SEC footprint in favor of SCORE Act “The silence of the institutions is complicity.. If LSU is for it, we are against it. If Alabama is for it, we are against it. If Ole Miss is for it, we are against it. If South Carolina is for it, we are against it. If Tennessee is for it, we are against it. And if any of the SEC schools are for it, we’re against it”


CENTCOM Commander Admiral Cooper: We’ve adopted large number of tactics, techniques, and procedures that Ukrainians passed to us, which helped us defend Americans. All of our partners working with Ukrainians in some way, shape, or form. Are they more effective as a result? Yes.

President Trump put out the call to rig the system in order to maintain the Republican majority in Congress, and red states are answering. I support efforts to level the playing field. In Washington state, we would need a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate to change our redistricting process. If we get that supermajority, I would not only support a redistricting effort — I would lead it. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
