Rep. Richard Hudson

Blatantly false. Last week, the @HouseGOP voted to keep the government open and sent our clean, nonpartisan short-term government funding bill to the Senate. Now, Democrats are threatening to shut down the government unless their demands are met, which include: ➡️ Reinstatement of FREE health care for ILLEGAL ALIENS ➡️ $500 million for LIBERAL news outlets and other partisan priorities In sum, this would be a MASSIVE $1.5 TRILLION spending HIKE tacked onto what is a simple 7-week funding bill. Unless they stop holding government funding hostage. Facts matter.

“Under the Trump administration, we're standing up for American Seniors like no president has EVER stood up before.” - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, more than 51 million American seniors now pay a federal tax rate of ZERO on Social Security income. 🇺🇸

I enjoyed getting to join @POTUS at the White House for the launch of Trump IRA accounts. These accounts will be transformational for empowering Americans to save for their retirement! 🇺🇸

The 2027 @NFL Draft is coming to the National Mall! Thanks to @POTUS and @NationalMallNPS, Washington, D.C. will be Safe, Beautiful and READY to host the NFL and welcome fans from across the country for an unforgettable experience!

Today, on what would have been his 75th birthday, we remember Dale Earnhardt.

We are grateful for the work done by @RepRichHudson and the bipartisan group of legislators who were critical in passing the #MCED bill into law. This landmark law has the potential to dramatically improve early detection, particularly for seniors. hudson.house.gov/press-releases…

"To the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries rededicate ourselves to each other in the selfless service of our peoples and of all the peoples of the world." — His Majesty King Charles III 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

Thank you to His Majesty King Charles III for addressing Congress today. The enduring friendship between the US and the UK is rooted in our shared heritage, and this Special Relationship is one of our greatest strengths. I look forward to many more years of partnership between our great nations. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Cancer doesn't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, and neither did this fight. Proud to see the Nancy Gardner Sewell Multi-Cancer Early Detection Act signed into law. This bipartisan win opens the door for Medicare to cover cutting-edge screening that catches cancer early, when we have the best chance to beat it. Special thanks to @RepTerriSewell, @RepArrington, @RepJasonSmith & so many others for their help in getting this done!

Great morning with @NTCAconnect - The Rural Broadband Association. From BEAD deployment to USF reform, there's real work ahead - but the small, community-based providers in that room are already stringing fiber down country roads and keeping rural America connected.

As Congress considers how to lead on universal service reform, it was an honor to have @HouseCommerce subcommittee chairman @RepRichHudson come share his vision for broadband policy with @NTCAconnect members this morning.

.@HouseCommerce Communications & Technology Subcommittee Chairman @RepRichHudson spoke w/@MikeRomanoNTCA about the USF Working Group & permitting bills. Thanks Rep. Hudson for sharing your thoughts & for all you do for rural N.C. communities! #ntcaadvocates #BroadbandBuiltToLast

Many in the media are discussing how President Trump was “so remarkably calm” and “in control” through the events last night. That is the mark a great leader, and it defines who Donald Trump is. … I’ve spent a lot of time with him over the past several years, and he is at his strongest in times of crisis and turmoil. It is a primary reason why his time in office is so historic. Adding to that history, he has now survived a third assassination attempt. As fate would have it, on the day of the last attempt (Sept 15, 2024), Kelly and I had just arrived to meet with him at Mar-a-Lago, right after the Secret Service stopped another would-be assassin pointing a rifle through the bushes of the President’s golf course. They rushed the President back to safety at his residence, and we met and talked with him alone there for nearly 3 hours, with Susie Wiles and Hogan Gidley, until the “all clear” was given. We will never forget our conversation that day, and the strength and resolve of the man who would soon be reelected Commander-in-Chief. As he processed the event, I told him we were absolutely convinced that God had miraculously spared his life—once again, in view of the entire world—for an obvious purpose. It seemed to me then that a new realization had come upon our friend, that he had developed an even deeper sense of his place in his history, the importance of his legacy, and the divinely orchestrated responsibility he was being given. It has been my daily observation that since those jarring events at the end of the 2024 campaign, President Trump has been a changed man. He was already the toughest individual we know, but since then he has been even more deliberate and contemplative in his approach to our nation’s challenges. He speaks openly about the providence of God, and he understands, as did the Founders of our great nation who had endured so much in the trials and suffering of the American Revolution, the high price of our freedom. At the very end of our nation’s birth certificate 250 years ago, our forefathers solemnly proclaimed: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Their extraordinary commitment to America’s cause—even at the risk of their own lives and possessions—was what allowed our country to form and flourish and become the most exceptional of all. Thankfully, that same commitment is now carried forward by our 45th & 47th President, who has endured the most unbelievable trials, accepted every risk, and works tirelessly every day to ensure that America is great once again. May God continue to protect and sustain him.

Happy Birthday to our amazing First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump!

Tonight, I’m praying for everyone at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, for President Trump, and for our country. I’m grateful everyone is safe, and thankful for the swift action of law enforcement to protect all in attendance.

This week, @HouseGOP continued to keep our promise to undo the damage from costly Biden-era regulations. We passed legislation to cut red tape, lower costs, and put money back in your pocket: ✅ Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act ✅ HEATS Act ✅ FIRE Act

Agreed, @SpeakerJohnson. The Working Families Tax Cuts delivered, and the numbers prove it: ✅ 53M+ Americans have claimed a tax cut ✅ 30M+ seniors paying zero tax on Social Security ✅ 34M families claiming the enhanced Child Tax Credit Promises made. Promises kept.

Strong borders are the lock on America’s front door. Without it, chaos walks right in.

Democrats have caused THE LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN HISTORY. Democrats REFUSE to pay law enforcement for over TWO MONTHS because they want to reopen the border for criminal illegal aliens.  Democrats' shutdown is not just DISTURBING — it's DANGEROUS. Protect American citizens. Fully fund @DHSgov.

It was great to join North Carolina business leaders at the Coca-Cola Consolidated delegation breakfast this morning. Proud to have the largest Coke bottler in the country right in Charlotte! Working Families Tax Cuts and a real Farm Bill mean more certainty for NC workers and growers.
