The Brady Briefing

Tonight, President Biden will address the nation to mark his first 100 days in office. Here’s what the President should say: “I inherited a strong economy and lifesaving vaccines from President Trump.” “The dangerous border crisis is a direct result of my policies.” “I’m taxing, spending, and borrowing against your children’s future.” Because here is the truth – President Biden’s first 100 days in office have been more about pushing his socialist agenda than helping Americans and our economy rec...

The Biden Border Crisis is real, and it’s only going to get worse. This weekend, I joined my Texas Republican colleagues on a trip to the southern border. In a blatant move to avoid transparency, President Biden won’t let the media near any migrant detention facilities. But I was able to meet with border patrol agents, the Coast Guard, members of the DEA, local law enforcement and government officials and see the crisis for myself. Simply put, our borders are overwhelmed. I visited a facility in... Read more

The Democrats’ partisan bill does nothing to implement meaningful reform. What this bill actually does is push radical policies, like defunding the police, while impeding the ability of good police officers to do their jobs effectively. As has been proven in cities across the nation, defunding the police only makes our communities less safe. Instead of defunding, we should invest more in our law enforcement for improved training and better policies, and help foster stronger relationships between... Read more

Our country is still fighting against the coronavirus. But instead of focusing on defeating the virus and getting Americans back to work, Democrats spent this week pushing a bill that would take public dollars and use them to fund political campaigns. How’s that for priorities? H.R. 1, The “For the Politicians” act, gives D.C. politicians more control while taking power away from state and local governments. It also threatens our freedom of speech, removes important voter ID laws, legalizes ball... Read more

My wife Cathy and I are parents only because of two women who chose life, and we know first-hand how impactful and important that decision is. That’s why I’m proud to fight for the sanctity of life and the rights of the unborn by supporting pro-life and pro-family legislation in Congress. WATCH: House Republicans proudly stand for life Unfortunately, last Congress, Democrats blocked over 80 attempts by House Republicans to force a vote to protect babies born-alive and end infanticide. And now, t... Read more

Today, I attended the inauguration ceremonies for the 46th President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, and Vice President Kamala D. Harris. I am proud to have worked side-by-side with President Trump to enact historic tax reform, free and fair trade with Mexico and Canada, the repeal of the ObamaCare mandate and taxes, a ban on surprise medical bills, and the first reform of the IRS in two decades. His policy achievements have lifted working families across America. And now, I want to congr... Read more

The attacks on the U.S. Capitol this month were devastating. And make no mistake – they were attacks. While I fully support the First Amendment and every American’s right to protest peacefully, these violent actions were unacceptable and un-American, and I implore all to remember that violence overshadows the message of justice. We as a nation are better than this. We as a nation must be better than this. Despite the assault that Wednesday, our democracy refused to be disrupted, and Congress vot... Read more

Under President Trump, America saw the greatest economy in history. Wages were up, unemployment – especially for minorities and women – was at historic lows, manufacturing was back, and jobs and businesses that had previously fled overseas were returning to the U.S. The COVID-19 pandemic hit our economy hard, but thanks to the strong foundation of the pre-pandemic economy, the leadership of President Trump, and the work of Republicans in Congress, we’re already seeing record-breaking economic re...

While Democratic leaders use partisan delay tactics, the American people are suffering. Instead of spending three trillion dollars on things like marijuana banking, early release for criminals, and sending checks to illegal immigrants, we must work together on smart, targeted policies that help American businesses and workers. That’s why recently, President Trump took action to provide extra federal unemployment help – help that Speaker Pelosi continues to block – as well as to allow workers to ... Read more

Conroe, Tex. - How do we tackle injustice – racial, economic and other forms? How do we do more to heal our country? I believe that in order to enact real change, we need real solutions. We ought to come together – every party, everywhere – and not just address these issues, but prevent them going forward. Of course, building trust between law enforcement and our communities will not begin in Washington – that will start at home. Having a healthy, engaging, challenging dialogue is the first step...
