This past Saturday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett—who represents Texas' 30th Congressional District—stood on stage at the Human Rights Campaign Los Angeles Dinner and launched a shameful, ableist attack on our Governor, Greg Abbott, mocking him as "Hot Wheels."
Let’s set the record straight: Governor Abbott is a fighter. At just 26 years old, a tragic accident left him paralyzed when a massive oak tree fell on him while he was out for a jog. He didn’t wallow in self-pity. He didn’t let it define him. He fought back. And today, he leads Texas with grit, determination, and an unwavering commitment to the people of our great state. His story is one of resilience—not ridicule.
This kind of rhetoric isn’t just offensive—it’s downright disgraceful. It’s an insult to the millions of Americans with disabilities who work hard every day and refuse to be defined by their challenges. Using someone’s disability as a political punchline? That’s beyond the pale.
That’s why, on Wednesday, I introduced a censure resolution against Rep. Crockett. Her behavior has been nothing short of disgraceful. A member of Congress should hold themselves to a higher standard. Respect, decorum, and accountability matter. And let’s be clear—Jasmine Crockett isn’t sorry. She hasn’t shown an ounce of remorse. Instead, she’s doubled down, deflecting blame and resorting to her usual outbursts. Time and time again, we’ve seen her yelling profanities on national television and making disgraceful comments. Enough is enough. It’s time to hold her accountable.
We are elected to represent our constituents with honor and integrity—not to engage in shameful, divisive attacks. Texans deserve better. America deserves better.

Back in 1975, Congress passed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to do what government should—support American energy production, promote efficiency, and strengthen our national security. Under this law, the Department of Energy (DOE) was given the authority to set efficiency standards for household appliances—but only if those standards made sense, saved energy in a meaningful way, and were actually feasible.
Fast forward to today, and the radical left has hijacked that authority. During Joe Biden’s term in office, his DOE weaponized these rules to force an extreme green agenda on hardworking Americans. Instead of prioritizing affordability and reliability, they’ve imposed burdensome new energy mandates on appliances—mandates that aren’t cost-effective, don’t save significant energy, and, frankly, make appliances worse.
The result? Higher costs, fewer choices, and dishwashers, dryers, and refrigerators that just don’t work as well as they used to. But it doesn’t stop there—these misguided policies hurt small businesses, kill jobs, and disrupt supply chains by driving up manufacturing costs.
House Republicans are saying enough is enough. While the Biden Administration scrambled in its final days to lock in more of these regulations on home appliances, we’ve been fighting to undo them.
This week, the House passed two key bills: 🔹 H.J. Res. 24 overturns Biden’s overreaching rule on walk-in coolers and freezers—standards that aren’t economically justified or technologically feasible. 🔹 H.J. Res. 75 blocks Biden’s harmful mandates on commercial refrigerators and freezers—another example of big government meddling where it shouldn’t. Americans deserve choices, not bureaucratic overreach. We will keep fighting to put common sense back into energy policy and keep Washington out of your kitchen and laundry room.

This week, President Trump signed an executive order to protect the integrity of American elections.
This Order strengthens voter citizenship verification and bans foreign nationals from interfering in U.S. elections. - The Election Assistance Commission will require documentary, government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms.
- Agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Social Security Administration and Department of State must provide states with access to Federal databases to verify eligibility and citizenship of individuals registering to vote.
- The Attorney General will prioritize prosecuting non-citizen voting and related crimes, including through use of DHS records and coordination with state attorneys general.
- Federal election-related funds will be conditioned on states complying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law, including the requirement that states use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship.
- The Order improves the integrity of elections by directing the updating of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 and security standards for voting equipment and prioritizing federal grant funds accordingly.
- This includes requiring a voter-verifiable paper ballot record and not using ballots in which the counted vote is contained within a barcode or QR code.
- It directs the Attorney General to enter into information-sharing agreements with state election officials to identify cases of election fraud or other election law violations.
- Non-compliant states may face prioritized Federal enforcement of election integrity laws and loss of funding given their unwillingness to police fraud.
- The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security shall prevent non-citizens from any involvement in administering elections.
- The Attorney General will fully enforce the voter-list maintenance requirements of the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act.
- Given clear Federal law setting a single Election Day deadline, the Attorney General shall take appropriate action against states that count ballots received after Election Day in Federal elections. Federal election funding will be conditioned on compliance.
- The Attorney General will prioritize enforcement of laws prohibiting foreign
nationals from contributing to or donating in U.S. elections. - All agencies must report on compliance with undoing Biden Executive Order 14019, which turned Federal agencies into Democratic voter turnout centers.
SAFEGUARDING THE VOTE: President Trump recognizes that free, fair, and honest elections—unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion—are essential to our Constitutional Republic.
- The United States lags behind other nations in enforcing basic and necessary election protections.
- India and Brazil tie voter identification to a biometric database, while the United States largely relies on self-attestation for citizenship.
- Germany and Canada require paper ballots when tabulating votes, while the United States has a patchwork of methods that often lack basic chain of custody protections.
- Denmark and Sweden sensibly limit mail-in voting to those unable to vote in person—and late arrivals do not count—while American elections now feature mass voting by mail, even after Election Day.
- Without proper enforcement of Federal laws, illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error dilute the votes of lawful American citizens.
- Federal law establishes a uniform Election Day across the nation for Federal elections, but numerous states fail to comply with those laws by counting ballots received after Election Day.
- The Biden Administration blocked states from removing aliens from voter rolls, while foreign nationals and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) exploited loopholes to pour millions into influencing U.S. elections.
Next week, the House will vote on the SAVE Act, which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections.
The SAVE Act would: - Amend the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which has governed state voter registration since 1993, to require states to obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and identity – in person – when registering an individual to vote in a Federal election.
- This requirement applies regardless of whether an individual is registering to vote at a DMV, a voter registration agency (such as a welfare office), or by mail.
- Direct states to establish an alternative process for applicants who may not have documentary proof of citizenship but are, in fact, U.S. citizens (due to religious reasons or otherwise), subject to minimum standards set by the Election Assistance Commission and signed attestations and affidavits by both the applicant and official making the determination.
- Direct states to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled Americans and applicants who have discrepancies in their documentation due to a name change.
- Require states to establish a program to remove non-citizens from their existing voter rolls and give states no-cost access to Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration databases to do so.
- Empower citizens to bring civil suits against election officials that fail to uphold proof of citizenship requirements for Federal elections by expanding the NVRA’s existing private right of action, and adds penalties for election officials that register non-citizens to vote in Federal elections.
- Direct the Election Assistance Commission to promptly update any guidance associated with the SAVE Act and streamline updates to federal forms by exempting the updates from the Paperwork Reduction Act.
