The Biden admin claims their border policies are "working," but here are the FACTS:
🚨Last month was the worst January for monthly border crossings in over 20 years
🚨There have been OVER 4.6 MILLION illegal crossings since Biden took office
Help us secure our border, @POTUS.
STORY: There were more than 156,000 migrant encounters in January, the Biden administration announced Friday -- claiming that the numbers show that the new border measures are "working," despite the numbers being higher than last January.

U.S. forces shot down 4 objects in the last 10 days (2 of which were in Montana airspace) & the President hasn’t addressed the nation on one of them.
Weak leadership creates aggressive adversaries.

China’s invasion of U.S. airspace was met with weakness by the Biden administration.
Now, the U.S. has had to shoot down three more unknown objects over the course of three days.
Americans deserve answers.

"A paternalistic and lazy regulator settles on a solution like the one in this settlement: do not initiate a public process to develop a workable registration process that provides valuable information to investors, just shut it down."

To be clear, staking enables more people to participate in building the next generation of the internet.
@GaryGensler’s regulatory purgatory strategy hurts everyday Americans the most - leaving them in the dust while these opportunities are accessible offshore.
Today @SECGov charged Kraken for the unregistered offer & sale of securities thru its staking-as-a-service program.
Whether it’s through staking-as-a-service, lending, or other means, crypto intermediaries must provide the proper disclosures & safeguards required by our laws.

My priority is to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat. Ensuring only American citizens are voting is imperative to restoring faith in our elections.

In Washington, DC:
▪️Sexual Abuse UP 117%
▪️Carjackings UP 86%
▪️Property Crime UP 26%
▪️Homicides UP 20%
Now, DC wants a pro-crime, criminal code that reduces penalties, reduces sentencing & grants misdemeanor cases a jury trial.
The @HouseGOP stands united in disapproval.

The House just passed a resolution condemning the #CCP for their violation of our national sovereignty with their spy balloon.
We must be united in countering CCP hostility. 🇺🇸

Insane left-wing nutbags on the DC city council passed laws to radically overhaul the DC criminal code and give illegal immigrants the right to vote.
House Republicans are working to undo these ridiculous polices and bring common sense back to Congress.

Think the government surveilling your $600 Venmo transaction was invasive? Looks like the Biden administration wants to take things even further! The IRS is trying to deploy a new system to surveil waiters’ tips too. 👇

Republicans ARE NOT going to cut defense spending.
This is more fearmongering from the Democrats.
We're going to make sure our men and women in uniform always have the tools they need while putting this country on a path to sustainability and fiscal responsibility.

Since Biden took office, more than 31,101 pounds of fentanyl has been seized at the border, which is enough to kill 7 BILLION people.

Mr. President—now that you’ve agreed with Republicans to take Medicare & Social Security off the table, do you believe the national debt is an issue? Do you believe there’s wasteful spending in Washington? Do you believe we should live within our means like every American family?
Now that we've resolved that Medicare and Social Security are off the table (as @SpeakerMcCarthy and Republicans have repeatedly said), let's act responsibly by reducing the hundreds of billions in wasteful Washington spending and stave off a future debt crisis.

No matter what lies Joe Biden peddles during tonight's speech, Americans are worse off now than they were two years ago.
Tune in to hear my thoughts previewing Biden's #SOTU with @NorahODonnell on @CBS at 8:15 PM ET tonight.

🧵Thread time! Excited to have @realbencarson as my guest tonight for the SOTU. Ahead of President Biden’s remarks, I wanted to share some thoughts of my own on the state of our union. To quote my friend @RepBarryMoore, “We’ve become broke, woke, and an international joke.”

I'm honored to have these two great Americans with me this evening.
Tonight’s address serves as a reminder that voters elected a Republican House Majority to counteract Biden’s failed agenda and make sure Main Street Americans are not forgotten.
