    We can never return to the chaos at the border that we experienced during the Biden administration. We must keep our border secure.

    California's high taxes & costly red-tape have resulted in reduced refining capacity in our state. If we're going to import more gasoline from other states, we need the infrastructure to support it. I've introduced a bill to make that easier and give consumers relief at the pump.

    I joined Lake Elsinore Mayor Bob Magee and other city officials this morning to tour the Lake Elsinore Water Quality Project. I worked together with the city to secure $8 million in Community Project Funding to support the project and expand the city’s substantial financial commitment to the Nanobubbler systems across the lake. The early phases of the projec have led to a cleaner, healthier lake, and I’m excited to work with the city to advance this important project.

    An iconic Iwo Jima flag-raising monument was left decapitated after an alleged sledgehammer attack by an illegal immigrant. Police arrest 27-year-old Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano after allegedly catching him damaging the statue near Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia Wednesday night. Authorities estimate the damage at hundreds of thousands of dollars. The statue, located near the National Museum of the Marine Corps, is a smaller replica of the famous World War II memorial. Maldonado Soriano is being held without bond and faces multiple felony charges, including destruction of property and injury to a monument. See more about the destruction and the charges:

    Skilled workers provide the foundation of our industrial base. As Chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, I have supported significant investments for workforce development for skilled trades, especially for shipbuilding. I will continue to work with my colleagues and the Trump administration to support the Build Freedom campaign and shape the workforce that builds and defends America.

    FBI Los Angeles @FBILosAngeles
    Early this morning, the FBI and our partners arrested 8 of 15 defendants in Southern California, Dallas and Chicago, for their roles in health care schemes that collectively resulted in $2 billion in fraudulent claims to government and private health care programs, including sham substance abuse treatment programs, unnecessary artery treatments, and bogus hospice services. Two of the 15 defendants were arrested last week. “Today the FBI and our partners executed 8 arrests, with 7 additional defendants charged, after the subjects involved allegedly orchestrated a multi-year healthcare fraud scheme resulting in $1.8 billion in losses,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “The defendants - including 6 medical professionals – made fraudulent claims to steal from taxpayer funded healthcare and insurance programs, including substance abuse treatment programs, hospice care, and Medicare programs in the Los Angeles area designed to help the most vulnerable. Under President Trump’s leadership with the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, stealing from American taxpayers will no longer be tolerated in this country. This FBI will continue to move aggressively with our Department of Justice to dismantle fraud networks stealing from hard working taxpayers.” “Healthcare fraud cheats American taxpayers and health care programs out of billions of dollars,” said Patrick Grandy, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office. “The FBI will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to do everything in our power to safeguard our government health care programs and the taxpayers picking up the bill.” @IRS_CI @USAO_LosAngeles @HHS @DEALosAngeles Additional details:

    California policies led to the closure of the Philips 66 and Valero refineries over to the past year. To make up for that loss in refining capacity, the West Coast is now importing twice as much gasoline from around the world as it did just a few years ago. That drives prices up for you at the pump. That's why I've introduced the National Security Interstate Pipeline Act, H.R. 9838, a bill that would authorize the expedited approval of interstate oil and natural gas pipelines that would make it easier to transfer products, like gasoline, from regions with refineries.

    Americans are used to the principle of trust but verify. California Democrats have set up a voting system that completely ignores the essential “verify” part. @TheJusticeDept must continue to follow the facts and enforce our federal laws prohibiting non-citizens from voting.
    F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli
    Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.
