President Biden has maxed out the nation’s credit card – since he has been in office, our deficit has grown by $6 trillion, putting our national debt at a disastrous $31 trillion. 

American families are suffering under record inflation, supply chain shortages, banking instability, and rising interest rates – meanwhile, the Biden Administration wants to raise taxes and unleash the IRS on hardworking Americans instead of fixing their failing policies.

American families have to budget every day – why can’t our government? The path we’re on is unsustainable, and Americans are paying the price today, and our children and grandchildren will continue to pay tomorrow.

This week, I voted in favor of the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 which will limit federal spending, save taxpayer dollars, and grow the economy.

For partisan purposes, President Biden and Senate Democrats have been stonewalling efforts that would help avoid a default on our nation’s debt, and now it’s time for them to come to the negotiating table. We have sent a message to the President saying…we have a plan to address the debt ceiling and Washington's spending problem simultaneously.

There is still work to be done, but the bottom line is we must cut spending and shrink the federal government.

There's been a lot of misinformation going around about this bill...here are the facts...

H.R. 2811 DOES:

✅Save taxpayers more than $4.5 trillion

✅Reduce the federal deficit by nearly $5 trillion over 10 years

✅Return FY 24 spending to FY 22 levels

✅Cap federal spending increases at 1%/year

✅Responsibly raise the debt ceiling & avoid defaulting on our debt

H.R. 2811 DOES NOT: 

❌Cut veterans' benefits

❌Cut Social Security

❌Cut Medicare

❌Cut defense spending

This week, we celebrated Israel's 75th Independence Day. The rock-solid partnership between the U.S. and Israel has made both countries safer and more secure. But we need to ensure that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not build or acquire a nuclear weapon, or the United States will take firm action to hold them accountable. I introduced a resolution that will do just that and would reaffirm the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security and recognize the authoritarian and extremist regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a threat to Israel and global stability.

Israel is an incredible nation and our strongest ally in the Middle East. As Iran’s nuclear potential reaches a new level, at the same time that the extortionist Chinese Communist Party is influencing the Middle East, standing up for Israel is more important than ever. The United States must stand proudly against the threats and atrocities happening in Israel, and this is a commitment that I conveyed directly to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during our recent visit there. This resolution sends a clear message that the United States stands with Israel and will continue to do so for years to come.

Proud to lead over 30 of my colleagues to introduce this important resolution. 

This week Team Weber was busy! The Brazoria County Petrochemical Council celebrated (and toasted) 30 years of industries being together in the council to keep communities safe and keep the economy growing. Then they attended the 2023 Bay Go Red for Women luncheon in honor of the 99th year of the American Heart Association. We heard from UTMB doctors who shared their focus on cardiovascular health, especially in women, and listened to a moving testimony from survivor, Terah Aultman.

 Another great event this week was the Health and Hunger Solutions for Brazoria County. Many non-profit organizations in Brazoria County, such as the Brazoria County Dream Center, United Way, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Brazoria County Health Department, and more, joined together for a Wellness Fair filled with vendor tables and live demos from organizations on better living for the community!

As a Space, Science, and Technology committee member, I was excited to hear about the League City Chamber luncheon. The Chamber held its second State of Space luncheon and welcomed Vanessa Wyche to share updates from NASA. She shared the exciting news about the Artemis II Crew announcement and how they are partnering with Boeing to ensure that the launch of Artemis II next fall will be a success.

We're hosting a special passport day to help you and your family apply for your passport in Galveston County. If you are a first time applicant or need a renewal, we can help!

Before you make any travel plans, please remember to check the expiration date! It is a little known fact that some countries won’t allow entry if the visitor’s passport expires in six months or less. This effectively means that your passport may expire months before you think it does. Please check your family’s passports and if any will expire in less than a year, begin the renewal process now.

No appointments are required to apply for passport, and routine and expedited services are available at the event. Passport photo services will also be available.

Information on how to apply for a passport — including the necessary documents and fees — can be found at travel.state.gov. 

Please contact my office if you have any questions about the event: (281) 316-0231.

Earlier this month, the United States Fifth Circuit Court issued a decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA which effectively requires the FDA to reinstate a regulatory structure of safeguards for women’s health in usage of mifepristone for chemical abortions.
