President Trump promised to negotiate trade agreements to get better deals for America and protect American jobs. Bottom line: He delivered.
Every major industry sector in the U.S. would be positively impacted by the USMCA, with blue-collar manufacturing jobs seeing the most significant gains.
Once the USMCA is sent to Congress, the House has a responsibility to step up and swiftly ratify the agreement.
Unfortunately, Democrats don't want to wage a war on poverty or improve program integrity; they prefer talking points.
Can we have a serious conversation about improving the integrity of our poverty programs in this country?
I, along with many of my Republican colleagues, believe there is so much more we can do for those who are trapped in our social safety net programs. But we are limited by the level of discourse with which of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are willing to engage.

Why should we allow a Democrat President in the White House to use executive orders and not do the same with a Republican President?

If there's a conservative district and we have a commitment from someone to join the Freedom Caucus, that sends a very strong message.
In all humility, I don't know that an endorsement from Mark Meadows is going to make a difference as much as the commitment of that particular candidate to really represent the people.
To suggest that all members of the Republican conference represent their district in a manner that's reflective of the makeup of their district would not be accurate.
Mo Brooks is serious about making sure we fulfill our campaign promises ,and if anyone is willing to stand up to Leader McConnell on behalf of the people of Alabama it's Mo Brooks.
National security needs to be priority number one and if you're willing to play politics with our national security then you have no business serving in the Senate or the House.
If we've got Democrats, whether they be in the House or the Senate, that are not willing to put our national security as their very top priority and secure our borders, I think it's time that we get someone else in that position and that goes regardless of party.

I think what happens is when we start to look at the facts, everybody has their impression of what truth is.
I'm one of these guys who believes you represent the people who sent you to Washington, D.C., not matter what the cost. The cost could be very grave.
