Drug addiction has devastated communities across our country for decades. The rate of addiction and overdoses has skyrocketed with the spread of fentanyl over the last several years. Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid, and even the smallest dose can trigger an overdose. Our adversaries, mainly China, have weaponized this drug to terrorize our communities and weaken the United States by facilitating the flow of this deadly drug into our country.

Biden’s reckless open border policies allowed thousands, if not millions, of pounds of fentanyl to flow through the Southern Border. The failure to close the border and restrict the flow of fentanyl enriched Mexican Drug cartels and Chinese manufacturers of the synthetic drug, while destroying the cohesion and health of American society. Luckily, strong leadership has returned to the White House once again! President Trump’s border policies have greatly reduced the flow of fentanyl into our country, and Congress is also taking steps to punish Chinese producers and stop the flow of fentanyl into our communities.

On Tuesday, with my support, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 747, the Stop Fentanyl Act of 2025. This bill imposes sanctions against Chinese manufacturers and distributors of fentanyl. The bill also increases the reporting of international trade with China, providing greater oversight of Chinese products entering the United States. It is time Congress stands with the American people to protect Americans from these deadly drugs. China’s transgressions will no longer go unpunished.  As your voice in Congress, I will continue to push for policies that counter our adversaries and protect the lives of innocent Americans.

Representatives from the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and U.S. Coast Guard Academy will be present, along with ROTC program leaders from Texas-area colleges and universities. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak directly with academy representatives and my office about the nomination process.

This event is open to all high school students, parents, and educators interested in learning more about serving our nation through a service academy education.

This week, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio authorized a series of strikes on cartel vessels conducting operations off the Venezuelan coast.  The strikes, carried out by the Marine Corps, resulted in the death of 11 members of Tren de Aragua, a deadly cartel President Trump deemed a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in February.  I applaud President Trump’s no-nonsense approach to eliminating this threat.  Drug cartels have plagued our society with extreme levels of violence and corruption, and it is high time we did something about it.
