The Army just hit its 2026 recruiting goal four months early, the second record year in a row. Americans still want to serve something bigger than themselves, especially when the mission is clear.

Did you know there is already a law requiring the federal government to buy American made products, and it is not being enforced? The Berry Amendment has been on the books for decades, but instead...

Foreign adversaries are buying commercial location data to track and target U.S. troops in active war zones, and CENTCOM just confirmed it on the record. As a former Special Forces officer, I sig...

@NASA is moving at a pace we have not seen since Apollo, with contracts already awarded to American companies for a permanent moon base just two months after Artemis II. The lunar economy, the ga...

Grateful to the @ncyounggop for this recognition. There is no shortage of work to be done, and I am honored to be part of a generation ready to do it.

Today it is someone the government has decided is not managing their property well enough, tomorrow it is anyone the government decides has not been a responsible enough steward of what they own. ...

Connected vehicles are data collection machines, and we just carved out an exception for a Chinese-owned company to keep selling them here. This deserves a lot more scrutiny than it is getting.

If China cuts off access to critical minerals tomorrow, our defense systems feel it immediately. Last week at the Library of Congress, I joined warfighters, investors, and industry leaders to tal...

Economic pressure has a way of cutting through propaganda, and Iran is feeling it. The question is not whether they will break, it is when.

The Taliban used to say, “You Americans, you own the watches, but we own the time,” and Iran is running the exact same playbook. The question now is simple: how long can they hold out economicall...

Cirrus Aircraft, the most delivered piston aircraft manufacturer in America, has been wholly owned by the CCP's primary aerospace and defense conglomerate since 2011. The same Chinese company that...

The freedoms we enjoy, the blessings we have in this country, come at a cost. For some who wore the uniform and fought in combat, that cost was everything. For their families, it’s a weight they c...

Heartbroken to lose Kyle Busch, one of our own right here in #NC10. He gave everything he had every single time he got behind the wheel, and our community is feeling that loss deeply today. Our...

As Memorial Day approaches, I think about my classmates from West Point, my guys from the infantry and special forces, who never made it home. They didn’t give everything so we could go about aiml...

A $6 switch on a Blackhawk helicopter breaks four times a month. Instead of fixing it, contractors charge $40,000 and ground the aircraft for months. Your tax dollars, every single time, for 20 yea...

Republicans made three promises to the American people: Secure the nation, close the border, rebuild the military. ✅ Unleash the economy and prevent the single largest tax hike in American histor...

It has been said that the next great terror attack on our homeland will be like 9/11 without martyrs, and the “without martyrs” part is the key. Low-cost, highly autonomous drones do not need a p...

This is what the demand signal looks like in practice. For decades we bought 90 Tomahawks a year while China and Russia built arsenals at scale, and the U.S. has produced fewer than 40,000 cruise...

Yesterday @housesciencecmte passed my Next-Generation Geothermal Research and Development Act. Here is what that means for you: ⚡The earth’s core produces enormous heat that we can convert into el...

Your electricity bill keeps going up and the grid keeps struggling to meet demand, but there are 90 gigawatts of clean, reliable power sitting right beneath your feet that we have barely touched. ...
