Congressman Rich McCormick, MBA MD

Happy National Space Day!   Today we celebrate the explorers and innovators pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—and a future where America’s greatest discoveries are still ahead.

Introducing… Kevin O’Leary (@kevinolearytv). Renowned venture capitalist and investor on Shark Tank, he’s as sharp and witty as you’d expect. Grateful I had the chance to meet and talk with him on Capitol Hill this week.

On Silver Star Service Banner Day, we honor the courage and sacrifice of wounded servicemembers and the families that support them.

🚨At this week’s @HASCRepublicans Hearing, I raised the idea of my Incentivize Savings Act with @SecWar, and he agreed: we need to fix the incentives. 👇🏼

Dangerous rhetoric has real consequences. Calling the President a war criminal puts our troops at risk for doing their duty. We should stand with them, not undermine them. And no, @POTUS has not committed any war crimes.

🚨The Farm Bill has PASSED the House. My YEA vote was for Georgia. So Georgia farmers have all the tools necessary to be successful. I will continue to fight to protect our farmers and everything they provide for America. 🌾🧑‍🌾

🚨 House Republicans just PASSED the 2026 Farm Bill, locking in key victories after years of stop-gap extensions. This bill delivers certainty for our farmers and ranchers, cracks down on SNAP abuse with stronger work requirements, and ensures taxpayer dollars go to the people they're meant for and not fraudsters. 🚜🌾

Yesterday, @SecWar and General Dan Caine joined @HASCRepublicans for a full committee hearing to examine the President’s defense budget request. It was a productive and substantive discussion, focused on @SecWar’s strategic priorities and his plan to ensure the safety, strength, and security of the American people.

Less than 3% of our defense budget is spent trying to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Five presidents, on both sides, agreed: a nuclear-armed Iran is NOT an option. The moment came to act, and the stakes were too high to do nothing.

Today, I voted in my first @GOPoversight Markup hearing. I received a warm welcome from Chairman Comer (@RepJamesComer), and I’m excited to get to work on the committee!

It was an absolute honor to attend the Joint Meeting of Congress with King Charles III. His Majesty spoke about the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, one that is grounded in unity, democracy, and cooperation. This marked the first royal address to Congress since Queen Elizabeth II delivered hers in 1991. I am grateful every day for the opportunity to witness historic moments like this firsthand.🇺🇸🇬🇧

And $100 billion to rebuild the defense industrial base means restoring America’s ability to produce at scale. Peace comes through strength, and this is how we achieve this. 🇺🇸 (6/6)

A 64% increase in research and development keeps America ahead in next-gen warfare with AI, autonomous systems, and other emerging threats. (5/6)

🧵 For the first time in 40 years, we have a defense budget that reflects the true cost of deterrence. Peace isn’t free, and pretending it is has left us vulnerable. Here’s what President Trump’s $1.5 trillion national defense budget request delivers: 👇🏼 (1/6)
