Rep. August Pfluger

🚨The U.S. House just passed my FENCES Act. American businesses and workers should not be unfairly penalized for pollution beyond their control. The FENCES Act fixes this by ensuring foreign emissions and natural events are not counted against air monitoring data. This bill brings long-overdue fairness and certainty to the permitting process. I am proud to lead on this practical, commonsense measure to protect our economy and the integrity of our air quality standards.

For years, Democrats tried to sabotage American energy and gut the foundation of our economy. Thanks to President Trump, they lost. America is BACK, the Permian Basin is ROARING, and we are DOMINATING again. 📈🔥🇺🇸

🚨 Congress MUST use reconciliation to codify President Trump's energy executive orders into permanent law. Democrats have already proven they will gut American energy the moment they have power. That is a risk our country CANNOT afford.

The Permian Basin is the crown jewel of American energy production. We’ve never been stronger in our energy position thanks to the innovation of small, independent companies in the Permian Basin like @Diamondback_EP. Energy security will always be national security.

💎 “CROWN JEWEL”💎 @RepPfluger on the Permian Basin: “This is the MVP of American energy production.” More on Sunday Morning Futures with @MariaBartiromo 👇

Meet Raley Kirk – a fourth-generation Central Texas rancher raising sheep and Spanish goats in San Saba, Texas. Beyond her ranch, she's a driving force for agriculture across the state, working in safety and compliance, serving as secretary-treasurer of the San Saba County Farm Bureau, and contributing at Texas A&M's College of Agriculture. Hear from Raley on why the Farm Bill matters to her and her community in Texas, and why timely action on it in the Senate is critical for farmers and ranchers everywhere.

Sat down with representatives from the Texas Electric Cooperatives this week. Thank you for your advocacy to ensure our communities have affordable and reliable power.

I am incredibly thankful for every member of DHS who showed up and served, even without pay. Your tremendous sense of duty is truly inspiring. I thank God that America is blessed with men and women who honor the call to serve. While I am glad the majority of the Department is now funded, there is still more to be done. With national security threats on the rise and the World Cup only 42 days away, I will not stop fighting until every DHS entity is fully funded.

DEMO DAY: Last week, members were given the opportunity to test the capabilities of jailbroken AI, revealing just how easy it is for bad actors to weaponize abliterated models. We thank the team of experts at @NCITE_COE for providing the demonstration and engaging in critical conversations around AI safety with members and staff.

Hey if you haven’t heard…FARM BILL PASSED!!! #WesternCaucus

Great to catch up with broadband providers from across Texas during their visit to our nation's capital this week for the Rural Broadband Association’s annual Legislative and Policy Conference. Grateful for the work you do to provide internet access across Texas.

Proudly voted to pass the 2026 Farm Bill in House today! We’re taking care of rural America because they take care of us.

🚨 House Republicans officially PASSED the 2026 Farm Bill. For too long, Texas farmers and ranchers have been pushed to the brink, battling rising costs, workforce shortages, and relentless weather uncertainty. Now, we are one step closer to getting our farmers the certainty they need. This Farm Bill is a major victory for the West Texas agriculture community, which is the backbone of our nation's economy and a critical pillar of our national security. It delivers tangible, agriculture-focused solutions and locks in several key provisions I was proud to fight for. With fewer than 2% of Americans working to feed, clothe, and fuel the entire country, passing this legislation out of the House was essential. After nearly a decade of delay, House Republicans stepped up and took action today.

In my 25+ year military career, I saw firsthand how FISA-derived intelligence protects Americans every day and is critical to stopping terrorists, human traffickers, and foreign adversaries before they can strike. But protecting national security and upholding civil liberties are not mutually exclusive. I worked with Republicans in Congress to ensure both are safeguarded by passing over 55 reforms to strengthen oversight and safeguard Americans' personal rights. Extending FISA is a clear national security imperative. Allowing this program to lapse would only provide an advantage to our enemies.

This weekend was a sobering reminder of the dangerous threats this President faces every single day. Left-wing political violence is rapidly escalating, and I am proud to stand with @RepAbeHamadeh, who was there and who wasted no time demanding accountability. Congress must condemn this attack and fully fund DHS without delay. We cannot leave our agencies short-handed in a high-threat environment.

🚨 The Democrat Ranking Member of one of the most powerful committees on the Hill had NO idea what Loper Bright was. @epaleezeldin took care of that on the record, and he's back today with the same answer: Chevron deference is DEAD, agencies follow the law as written, and if Democrats want EPA regulating the entire American economy, introduce a bill and defend that vote to your constituents.

The need for access to mental health care services is rising, yet for far too many Americans, high-quality, affordable care remains out of reach when they need it most. We cannot ignore this growing crisis. That’s why I am proud to co-lead the Ensuring Excellence in Mental Health Act, which establishes a durable payment structure for CCBHCs under Medicare and codifies the Medicaid payment system these clinics depend on to keep their doors open for people who need care.
