It’s never been more clear that the radical left is determined to push their agenda at any cost—even if it means undermining the safety of our communities, the integrity of our elections, and the very rights of women and girls. From voting to give illegal immigrants the right to vote to stripping protections for women in sports, Democrats are working against the very principles that make our nation strong. Here are just a few examples of the extreme measures they’ve supported, and the critical bills Republicans have introduced to stop them.

Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act – Our brave law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to protect our communities. But during Police Week—a time when we honor those who serve—148 Democrats voted against legislation that would detain and deport illegal aliens who physically attack our officers. This is a shocking betrayal of those who wear the badge, and it shows just how out of touch the radical left is with the needs of our law enforcement community. Our officers deserve better, and we will not stop fighting to give them the protection and respect they’ve earned.

Equal Representation Act – The census is meant to ensure fair representation for American citizens, but in a stunning move, 202 Democrats voted against a bill that would ensure only U.S. citizens are counted. This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about fairness and accountability in our government. By counting non-citizens, we distort representation in Congress and misallocate resources that should be going to Americans. But once again, Democrats rejected common sense, choosing to undermine the integrity of our system.

Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act  – The integrity of our elections is paramount, yet 198 Democrats voted against requiring individuals to prove U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Ensuring only citizens vote is a basic protection to maintain the integrity of our democratic process. But for the left, even this reasonable safeguard is too much. We believe that protecting the sanctity of the vote is non-negotiable, and we will continue to fight for secure and fair elections.

H.J. Res 165— This resolution was introduced to protect women from men competing in women's sports and men entering women and girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. This was a crucial step in blocking the Biden administration’s outrageous Title IX rule. This rule allows biological men to enter women’s and girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and other private spaces, under the guise of "gender identity.

Instead of standing up for the rights of women and girls, every single House Democrat voted in support of this rule, endorsing policies that defy common sense and put the safety and privacy of women at risk. Here’s what their extreme social agenda looks like in practice:

• Allowing men to compete in women’s sports, stripping young girls and female athletes of the fairness and opportunities they’ve worked so hard to achieve.
• Forcing men into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, violating the privacy and safety of women and girls.
• Requiring women’s dormitories to house biological men, disregarding the concerns and comfort of female students.
• Demanding that Americans adopt their controlled language, where you must address these individuals based on their chosen identity, or face repercussions.

This is the left’s radical social agenda in full display. They are willing to sacrifice women’s rights and safety to promote a political ideology that ignores biological and social realities. Every. Single. Democrat. voted for this harmful agenda, showing clearly where their priorities lie—and it’s not with protecting our daughters or upholding women’s rights.

H.R. 192 - Blocking Non-Citizens from Voting in D.C. – In yet another stunning move, 143 Democrats voted to allow illegal immigrants the right to vote in Washington, D.C. elections. This is not only a slap in the face to American citizens but a dangerous step toward diluting the voices of those who are rightfully eligible to vote. Democrats continue to prioritize non-citizens over the very people they are supposed to represent.

Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act – Border Patrol agents like Agent Raul Gonzalez put their lives on the line every day to protect our borders and keep Americans safe. Yet, 154 House Democrats voted against punishing illegal aliens who evade Border Patrol. This is about upholding the law and ensuring that our border agents have the tools and protection they need to do their jobs effectively. The Democrats’ refusal to support this measure shows their blatant disregard for law and order, as well as their willingness to enable chaos at our borders.

Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023 – Every single Democrat voted against protecting our daughters in sports. This bill would ensure that women and girls are not forced to compete against biological males in sports—preserving fairness and the rights of female athletes. But once again, the left’s radical agenda takes precedence over common sense and women’s rights. They are more interested in advancing an ideology than in safeguarding the opportunities and achievements of women and girls.

American families are having to choose between filling up their gas tanks, heating their homes, or putting food on the table because of failed Kamalanomics. In September, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed Kamalaflation remains a tax on all Americans, and it isn't going away anytime soon. Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office, inflation has risen by 20.5%. The failed economic policies of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden continue to put Americans last. 
 
MAKE NO MISTAKE: We cannot afford another four years of failed Far Left Democrat policies. We must return to the successful economic agenda Republicans implemented under President Trump which created the strongest economy in history and put Americans first.

This weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at the International Festival of Languages and Cultures. This event was more than a celebration; it served as a powerful reminder of the strength that lies in our nation’s cultural diversity. I also participated in the 7th Annual Energy Forum in Houston, where I emphasized the urgent need to harden our electrical grid.

Yesterday, I delivered the keynote address at the Process Solutions Summit hosted by Vector Controls and Automation Group, highlighting the critical importance of bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States and Texas.

Meanwhile, Team Weber had the opportunity to attend the Brazoria County Fair Association's Senior Citizen Day, which was a tremendous success. It was an honor to connect with so many wonderful folks in Brazoria County. They also participated in the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce's Good Morning Mainland Breakfast Networking Meeting. They presented a United States flag flown over the Capitol to the Friends of San Bernard Scholarship Fundraiser, benefiting six deserving recipients. Additionally, in Jefferson County, they attended the Port Neches Chamber Coffee sponsored by First Financial Bank.

It was a fantastic week!
