.@TimSheehyMT and I had a great conversation today about wildfires in the West. Thanks for making the trip to the House side!
The FY2026 Interior & Environment @HouseAppropsGOP Bill includes my language to name the Opera House at the Kennedy Center after @FLOTUS. Democrats are furious that we’re naming something after the First Lady - even though it’s not unprecedented to name a room after someone. @…
🚨 JUST IN: House Republicans have just ADVANCED a proposal to rename the Kennedy Center’s Opera House the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House” The opera house is one of the DC venue’s major theaters. I love it. Melania absolutely deserves this.

House Republicans voted to rename the historic Kennedy Center Opera House after @FLOTUS Melania Trump to recognize the first lady's dedication to the arts. What do you think of the name change?
Advancing the FY2026 Interior & Environment @HouseAppropsGOP Bill is the next step toward establishing American energy dominance, reversing harmful Biden-era regulations, and ensuring access to, and protection of, our public lands for recreation and hunting. I am pleased we are…
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) said the approps amendment renaming the opera house within the Kennedy Center to the Melania Trump Opera House came from his heart. “She supports the arts,” Simpson said “She’s the honorary chairman. Seemed like the right thing to do.”
Naming the Opera House at the Kennedy Center after @FLOTUS is an excellent way to recognize the First Lady's appreciation for the arts. I am proud to honor her support and commitment in promoting the arts and humanities. @HouseAppropsGOP washingtonreporter.news/p/exclusive-re…

THIS is what Americans voted for. Under the Trump administration, we have the most secure border in American history. All credit to the A team!
We’re just 6 months into President Trump’s second term. Americans have experienced WIN after WIN since he stepped into the Oval Office. Still not tired of winning! 🇺🇸😎 The OBBB is a WIN for Idahoans - delivering the largest tax cut in history, higher wages, more take-home pay,…
JUST SIX MONTHS into President Trump’s second term, America is safer, stronger, and more prosperous. We’ve cut taxes, secured the border, ignited the economy, and put America First at home and on the world stage. And we’re just getting started. 🇺🇸
What's Happening in Washington? A LOT of @HouseAppropsGOP news: ✅ Interior & Environment ADVANCED out of Subcommittee ✅ Energy & Water ADVANCED out of Full Committee ✅ Defense PASSED the House!
.@RealTomHoman is exactly right — until the Left’s dangerous rhetoric stops, the numbers will continue to skyrocket. Despite risking their lives every day to remove dangerous criminals from our communities, ICE officers are facing an 830% increase in assaults. Why is the Left…
.@RealTomHoman on the massive uptick in assaults on ICE agents: "It's because of the hateful rhetoric by the Democrats and those that are mayors and governors and members of Congress — it has to stop."
The FY26 Defense Appropriations Bill: ✅ Champions America’s military superiority ✅ Supports military families ✅ Strengthens America’s defense ✅ Supports the Trump administration’s policy initiatives
Americans’ tax dollars should not be funding voter ID programs in Haiti, electric buses in Rwanda, or LGBTQ initiatives in the Caribbean, Uganda, and Ecuador. These are just a few examples of where taxpayer dollars have been going. I share the Trump administration’s goals in…
