Representative Andy Biggs: President Trump’s border is SECURE. We didn’t need new laws to achieve operational control; we needed a new @POTUS. Americans are thankful for @CBP and @ICEgov agents, President Trump’s Cabinet, and—most of all—for President @realDonaldTrump.

Representative Paul Gosar: Big Pharma's finally getting a taste of their medicine as Americans will finally get a break from their price gouging.

Representative Eli Crane: Congress has failed the American people. Both parties are to blame. The future of our country is directly linked to our ability to muster up enough courage to wrestle down the national debt.

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Wild horses and burros embody the spirit and heritage of Arizona. I am extremely proud to Co-Chair the bipartisan Wild Horse Caucus to advocate for humane policies to protect and manage these iconic animals.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Congressman Hamadeh supports policies that put his constituents in the driver's seat of their care. @Potus' order lowers drug costs, promotes competition, improves pricing transparency, & delivers much-needed relief for all Americans, especially seniors.

Representative Greg Stanton: After 584 days of unimaginable suffering in Hamas’ brutal captivity, US/Israeli citizen Edan Alexander is finally home with his family. His strength & courage are heroic. We must not rest until every hostage is freed and Hamas is no longer able to hold lives—and peace—hostage.
