Dear Friend,
Week after week, we’ve seen activist and obstructionist judges abuse their authority to block President Trump from carrying out the agenda that voters elected him to deliver.
Just this year, more than 15 nationwide injunctions have been issued against the Trump administration – and out of the 64 injunctions from his first term, 92% of them came from judges appointed by Democrats. In fact, two-thirds of all universal injunctions issued over the past 25 years have been against President Trump.
We cannot let judges play king.
Our judicial system does not empower a single activist judge to trade his own views for those of the democratically elected president. And yet, in case after case, radical judges are ignoring precedent and substituting their personal politics for the law.
Take Judge James Boasberg, for example. He’s a known anti-Trumper who has a daughter working for a group that helps illegal aliens. He recently blocked President Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members affiliated with a designated foreign terrorist organization under the Alien Enemies Act — a power the Supreme Court already upheld in 1948.
From activist judges trying to stop the protection of our borders to preventing President Trump from ending racially discriminatory DEI government grants and contracts to halting his ban on the chemical and surgical mutilation of children, it’s clear that Congress must step in, use our oversight, and defend the choice of American voters on November 5th.
That’s why in the coming weeks, I will be supporting numerous efforts to end this systemic abuse of power.
One of these measures is the No Rogue Rulings Act, which the House will take up soon. This bill would stop federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions and return court rulings to what they were meant to be – limited to the actual parties involved in the case – rather than allowing one lower court judge to exercise unilateral veto power over the White House.
This week, the Judiciary Committee also recommended that Congress include language in upcoming spending bills to limit the misuse of nationwide injunctions by activist judges.
And if rogue judges continue to defy the Constitution, impeachment must remain on the table. It’s been used before, and it may need to be used again, especially in cases like Judge Boasberg’s. Click here to watch me discuss this further.
The Left couldn’t stop President Trump with bogus investigations or at the ballot box, so now they’re trying to stop him from governing. I won’t let judges take away your voice.
Thanks again for starting off your weekend with us! We hope you enjoy this week’s edition of the Tiffany Telegram.
Sincerely,
Tom Tiffany
Member of Congress
Flashback Friday to when Democrats supported fair trade, tariffs, and defended American workers. Why did Pelosi and Schumer flip-flop now?
Making trade fair again
American farmers and American workers are the most productive and efficient on earth, and they can compete head-to-head with anyone in the world – if the rules are fair. Unfortunately, for the last several decades, they haven’t been. Since the 1990s, too many Americans have been victims of a calculated trade war, with foreign governments enacting high tariffs and other barriers to U.S. products. These countries then proceeded to flood our markets with cheap and often subsidized foreign goods – some even produced with forced labor. Meanwhile, America’s chief export has too often been family-wage manufacturing jobs instead of Made in America products. But that began to change this week, when President Trump moved to restore trade fairness by imposing equalization tariffs to level the playing field – with Communist China at the top of the target list. This is an issue I’ve been working on during my short time in Congress, introducing legislation with my colleague Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) to strip China of its preferential “Most Favored Nation” (MFN) trade status. Unfortunately, Democrats have rushed to attack our plans to put American workers first. That’s a surprise – because it wasn’t always that way. Check out what Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11) used to say about holding China accountable in the video above.
State of emergency
This past weekend’s ice storm left many Wisconsinites without power and caused significant damage in northern Wisconsin. I want to thank the utility crews who worked tirelessly to restore power. As of writing this, it looks like power has been restored. To speed up recovery efforts, a state of emergency was declared for northern Wisconsin. This will help clear up debris and provide assistance to those who have been impacted. When winter storms like this strike, it’s always important to be prepared. Wisconsin Health Services has tips and resources here. These include winterizing your home, preparing an emergency supply kit, and making sure you are checking in on your neighbors as well as the elderly. You can click here for more information on the disaster emergency declaration.
Safe delivery of forest products
I had a great meeting this week in D.C. with the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association out of Rhinelander. We were able to discuss the important work they are doing to support Wisconsin’s forestry industry, including the Safe Routes Act. This is a bill I cosponsored by my friend Rep. Tony Wied (WI-08) to allow logging trucks to travel on federal interstates for short-distance trips. This will help minimize damage to roads in rural communities, decrease the likelihood of accidents, and ensure efficient delivery of forest products. You can read more about this bill here.
Thank you to the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association for meeting with me in D.C.
Recent Legislation
Secure Rural Schools
This week, I agreed to cosponsor the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act. Secure Rural Schools (SRS) is a program for counties with large amounts of tax-exempt federal land. The SRS provides funding for schools to stay open, keep roads maintained, and ensure emergency services remain available in rural areas. This. legislation would reauthorize SRS payments through Fiscal Year 2026. In FY2023, Wisconsin received over $1.77 million in SRS payments, so this funding is crucial for rural communities throughout America. We cannot leave rural Wisconsin without this critical lifeline.
Keeping men out of girls’ locker rooms
Over the past several years, Democrats across the country have continually promoted the woke transgender ideology. It is this ideology that has removed female-only spaces such as locker rooms, bathrooms, and other sex-separated areas while also allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports. Even just a few years ago, in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, a male student was allowed into a girls’ locker room to shower. This is just one story close to home, but we have seen several school districts and states all around the nation promote this fringe gender ideology and put the security of girls at risk. During his first week in office, President Trump signed an executive order to prevent all federal funds from promoting this extreme idea. However, we must also codify this change into law to ensure future administrations do not reverse course. That’s why the House already took action by passing the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. This legislation bans biological men from playing in girls’ sports. More recently, I also cosponsored the Keep Our Girls Safe Act by Rep. Mary Miller (IL-15). This bill will enshrine President Trump’s order in law by preventing schools from allowing men into girls’ locker rooms and female-only spaces. You can read more about these two bills here and here.
