This morning, @michaelsobolik and I received adoptions orders for our little boy, making us his legal parents!!! We are so honored to be his parents, and we can’t wait to travel to India. And best of all, we can share his name. Dev Kumar Sobolik - our son.
.@ChelsPat and I found out today that officials in India issued our adoption order today. We are now, legally, a FAMILY OF THREE!!!!! Traveling within the next few months to meet him, Lord willing. And, best of all: we can finally share our son's name: Dev Kumar Sobolik
.@RepTomSuozzi gets it: fixing immigration means working with Republicans, not shouting past them. It's the only path forward.
The immigration problem has persisted for decades. The status quo is not acceptable. Now’s the time to pass real bipartisan immigration reform. Let’s do it.
President Trump has often emphasized the importance of standing by our allies. With ongoing threats in Afghanistan, extending TPS for Afghans honors that principle and allows them to seek permanent legal protection—and keeps faith with those who stood by us.
My latest opinion piece in @NRO, arguing that it’s unsafe for Afghans to return home because of the deteriorating in-country conditions. I also highlight the particular vulnerabilities that women and girls and religious minorities would face if forced to return home.
I’m grateful to stand with courageous voices like @_joeysiu and so many others who refuse to let freedom be erased. The CCP may try to silence but we cannot back down. Hong Kong’s fight is our fight too.
Testified today at the Senate on the status of democracy and human rights in Hong Kong. I want to express my gratitude to @SenJohnCurtis in particular for the invitation and his long-standing support since 2019. Thank you for being a champion from the House to the Senate!

My little sister is in the emergency room. Would appreciate prayer for her♥️
Chelsea, what a lovely message! Thank you so much. Very pleased that @SenateForeign @SFRCdems & the subcommittee are highlighting these issues at this critical time. Thank you @_joeysiu @OliviaEnos @SophieDRich for your powerful testimony.
🫣 I have so many questions 🫣
We’re back with another desperate plea to stop hiding animals in weird places on your body before airport security. K, thanks.
No amnesty. No handouts. Just a secure border and an earned second chance. That’s the Dignity Act. Tough and fair.
Some of my favorite people are testifying today before @SenateForeign on the status of democracy and human rights in Hong Kong - five years after the PRC's judicial takeover So grateful for these powerful ladies. @OliviaEnos, @_joeysiu and @SophieDRich And I haven't…
Totally agree.
"The way we withdrew from Afghanistan was a disaster and executed terribly that cost 13 lives, including one from Omaha."
.@ChelsPat with wise counsel in @NRO about the need to protect vulnerable Afghans: “The Biden administration’s chaotic and disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 left tens of thousands of Afghan allies, women, and persecuted individuals at the mercy of the Taliban. Many…
Afghanistan is one the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. The Trump Administration has long defended religious freedom issues, and I strongly urge them to continue protecting the most vulnerable. nationalreview.com/2025/07/americ…

By continuing to protect vulnerable Afghans in America, @POTUS can position himself not only as a corrector of Biden’s failure but as a defender of American honor and global credibility. nationalreview.com/2025/07/americ…
