Today marks the beginning of Passover. Chag Pesach Sameach to all those celebrating.
May this sacred season bring peace, joy, and renewal to you and your families. ✡️✨
At today’s House Intelligence hearing, I shared my strong support for President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury and deep concerns about the inappropriate, antisemitic letter released by a former appointee.
I thought it was important to ask DNI @tulsigabbard about whether she shared those concerns about the letter.
She said yes.

As a senior Member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Select Committee on Intelligence, I have always been consistent that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons capabilities that would threaten the national security of the United States. Iran is the world’s largest sponsor of terror and has targeted, killed, and wounded U.S. service members and civilians throughout the Middle East over the past decades including soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division. Additionally, the sick Iran regime controlled by the blood-thirsty ayatollah terrorists have destroyed a nation, continued to pursue nuclear weapons threatening America and all of humanity, slaughtered innocent Iranians, and shed blood across the Middle East including of Americans.
I know President Trump has to make some of the most difficult decisions imaginable and there is no decision more serious that military action to protect our national security and American lives.
God Bless our brave men and women in uniform. The American people are praying for your safety.
I first introduced the Ernest Peltz Accrued Veterans Benefits Act two Congresses ago. For years, I’ve worked closely with the Peltz family, veterans service organizations, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to craft legislation to correct a moral wrong. My bill eliminates the burden on a veteran’s surviving family by ensuring that the veteran is entitled to receive their pre-approved pension benefits within the month that death occurs.
I represent #NY21—serving the largest number of veterans in any district in NY State. That’s why I’m proud to take action to make sure no family mourning the loss of a beloved veteran has to deal with VA red tape and bureaucratic mistakes.
This commonsense bipartisan legislation honors the legacy of World War II veteran Ernest Peltz and takes a critical step toward improving the VA’s effectiveness and accountability.
In passing my legislation, Congress will rightfully honor veterans for their service and guarantee their families the dignity and respect they have earned.
This is a very smart nomination by President Trump of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair.
Kevin is a longtime friend and he is a fellow Upstate NY native. He is exactly the right leader at this time to right the ship at the Fed and get our economy back on track for the hardworking families and small businesses across America
@kathyhochulny isn't satisfied with how much her failed policies have already increased New Yorkers' energy costs.
She now has a bill on her desk that would increase natural gas service costs by up to $14,000 per home.
The Worst Governor in America must veto this disastrous legislation before she further guts families' savings and New York's grid reliability.

New Yorkers in #NY21 deserve better than @kathyhochulny ’s Medicaid mismanagement mess. That’s why I’ve called on @thejusticedept to investigate.
The Worst Governor in America’s willful incompetence is leaving hospitals on the brink of closure just weeks before Christmas and threatening care for Fort Drum @fort_drum_ny service members and their families.
