In recent years, life-long female athletes have been sidelined by policies that prioritize woke goals over fairness and basic biology.

For example, the Biden-Harris Administration radically rewrote Title IX to allow biological males to rob young women of scholarship opportunities, compete in women’s sports, and access private spaces, such as bathrooms and locker rooms. This nonsense undermines the merited achievements of female athletes, distorts the level playing field that is crucial for fair competition, and endangers the lives of female competitors.

Whether it’s Riley Gaines — who was denied a podium spot at the 2022 NCAA Women's Swimming Championships after tying for fifth place with biological male, or Payton McNabb — who suffered a severe head and neck injury as a result of a male spiking a volleyball during a high school competition, no female athlete should be forced to endure the devastating and dangerous consequences of the radical Left’s agenda.

Thankfully, President Trump is delivering on his promise to end this insanity.

Last week on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, the President signed an executive order effectively banning biological males from women’s sports and spaces. With the stroke of a pen and surrounded by young athletes with their whole futures ahead of them, he swiftly dismantled the Left’s abhorrent war on women that has unjustly endangered and demeaned female competitors across the country.

We’re already seeing this commonsense ban take effect.

Just one day after President Trump announced and signed his executive order, the NCAA promptly changed its eligibility policies to prohibit biological males from competing in women’s sports.

What a tremendous victory for female college athletes throughout the U.S.!

Yet we cannot stop there. In addition to ensuring all schools abide by President Trump’s executive order and compelling the International Olympic Committee to follow suit, Congress must also codify this commonsense into law. 

As you know, my House Republican colleagues and I recently passed H.R. 28, the Protection of Women & Girls in Sports Act, which defunds schools that allow biological males to compete in women’s sports. Additionally, as a conservative member of the House Appropriations Committee, I introduced amendments to both the Fiscal Year 2024 and 2025 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies appropropriations bills to codify the intent of President Trump’s executive order. Until it becomes law, I’ll continue working to ensure your hard-earned tax dollars no longer fund institutions that support this insanity. Rest assured, Republicans will keep leading and winning in the fight to save women’s sports.

I want to hear from you!

Last Week’s Results:

82% support President Trump using tariffs as leverage to put Americans' safety and our national security first.

Last week, the House passed the HALT Fentanyl Act, a crucial piece of legislation that permanently classifies fentanyl-related substances as Schedule 1 drugs. This will give law enforcement the additional power they need to more effectively crack down on traffickers and keep our communities safe. This measure is direly needed, as fentanyl continues to tear communities apart. In 2023 alone, more than 107,000 Americans died from drug overdose, with roughly 70% of those tragic deaths linked to illicit fentanyl or fentanyl-related substances. 

We know the dangers of fentanyl, and we understand the consequences of failing to act. If this classification expires, many fentanyl-related substances will become street-legal, making it impossible for law enforcement to seize these deadly drugs and ultimately save lives. Please know that I proudly voted for this bipartisan legislation, and I encourage the Senate to swiftly follow suit so we can forcefully combat the fentanyl crisis that is devastating families across our country.

As you likely know, there has been a lot of inaccurate information circulating about Elon Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and the critical goal of eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

Here are a few key things to know:

• Elon Musk is not a “private citizen” with “unprecedented access to American taxpayers’ personal or sensitive information,” as Democrat lawmakers and the left-wing media have repeatedly and erroneously claimed. President Trump designated Elon Musk as a “special government employee” (SGE) under the authority of Title 18 U.S. Code 202, which provides for the appointment of an officer or employee of the executive or legislative branch of the United States Government.
• There is no evidence to support Democrat lawmakers and the left-wing media’s allegations that Elon Musk or his team have unlawfully accessed or seized sensitive data. The DOGE team is limited to preliminary, read-only access to U.S. Treasury systems that do not display or provide specific transaction-level data. Only government employees have access to any system under audit, and the White House has confirmed that no classified material will be accessed under these directives without proper security clearances.
• As a fiscal hawk and champion of limited government, I support President Trump and DOGE’s work. After all, one of Trump’s campaign promises was using Elon Musk’s expertise to make government more efficient. The President is keeping this key promise, and I look forward to working with his Administration and my conservative colleagues in Congress to reduce the size, scope, and cost of government.

Rep. Clyde Joins Newsmax to Discuss USAID Insanity,

President Trump's Vision for Gaza, and More

Lawmakers are back in Washington to consider the following pieces of legislation: 

• H.R. 77, the Midnight Rules Relief Act: This legislation amends the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to allow Congress to disapprove multiple rules through one joint resolution if those rules were issued during the last year of a President’s term in office. Therefore, H.R. 77 allows Congress to rein in President Biden’s imposed rulemaking from 2024, worth more than $1.34 trillion in regulations. 
• H.R. 35, the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act: On December 7th, 2022, Border Patrol Agent Raul Gonzalez, Jr. was killed in the line of duty while pursuing illegal aliens who were fleeing capture near Mission, Texas. In honor of Agent Raul Gonzalez, Jr. and his sacrifice while fighting to protect our southern border, House Republicans are advancing legislation bearing his name that creates new criminal offenses for operating a vehicle within 100 miles of the southern border while fleeing from Border Patrol agents, or any law enforcement officer assisting the U.S. Border Patrol, including serious jail time and prohibition from ever receiving legal status in the United States.
