The U.S. Supreme Court recently wrapped up its 2024-2025 term, which included key rulings that delivered tremendous wins for the U.S. Constitution, the American people, and the future of our country.

Here are several significant SCOTUS victories:

Ending Judicial Activism

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions, correctly noting such injunctions by district judges exceed their authority granted by Congress. This is a major win in our fight against activist judges! As you know, many partisan judges have weaponized and abused their power in an attempt to obstruct President Trump’s legitimate Article II authority. In fact, 40 nationwide injunctions have been filed against President Trump since he returned to office — 35 of which came from left-wing jurisdictions in California, D.C., Maryland, Washington, and Massachusetts. If judges want to engage in political activism, they should resign and run for public office. Now, thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling, these activist judges can no longer universally block the Trump Administration’s actions to rescue our country.

Protecting the Sanctity of Life

Last week, the Supreme Court also ruled that states have the power to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics. Back in February, I signed on to an amicus brief in support of South Carolina’s determination that Planned Parenthood does not qualify to receive Medicaid funding. Bottom line, your hard-earned tax dollars should never be forced to fund the evils of abortion. The Supreme Court’s ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic marks yet another win in our fight to protect the sanctity of life.

Defending Religious Liberty

Additionally, in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Maryland parents who fought to withdraw their children from lessons involving LGBTQ books. In March, I signed on to an amicus brief in support of parents' religious freedoms and their right to direct their children’s education. The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling upholds that parents are entitled to opt their children out of school lessons that violate their family’s deeply held religious beliefs, delivering a decisive blow to woke school boards and teachers throughout the country.

Safeguarding Children 

The Supreme Court also recently ruled in favor of a Tennessee law banning transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones for minors. This decision delivers a massive win that protects children from these harmful, sick practices. Notably, more than 20 states across the country — including Georgia — have passed similar laws. The Supreme Court’s ruling upholds these commonsense laws, safeguarding children from woke, life-altering procedures and medications.

Folks, I applaud the Supreme Court for issuing these incredible opinions, and I thank President Trump for making these major judicial accomplishments possible. By nominating three constitutionalists to the bench during his first term, Trump’s historic impact on the Supreme Court cannot be overstated. Over the past few years, pivotal decisions from the Supreme Court, such as the victorious Dobbs decision, prove President Trump’s selection of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett will significantly improve our nation for generations to come.

I want to hear from you!

Last Week's Results:

83% support President Trump’s decisive action to devastate the Iranian Regime’s nuclear capabilities.

Last Monday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before one of my House Appropriations Subcommittees to discuss the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) budget requests for Fiscal Year 2026. During my remarks, I applauded AG Bondi for eliminating the Biden-Harris Administration’s weaponization and politicization of the DOJ. These efforts are highlighted in the DOJ’s FY26 budget request, marking a breath of fresh air for the American people. I also used my line of questioning to ask AG Bondi about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) efforts to protect our Second Amendment freedoms and the Trump Administration’s proposal to merge the ATF with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Additionally, the House Budget Committee held a hearing entitled, “Reversing the Curse: Rooting Out Waste and Fraud and Restoring the Dignity of Work.” In my remarks, I discussed critical conservative efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in programs like Medicaid and SNAP through budget reconciliation. Improper payments are rampant in these programs, which is why improvements must be made to ensure they remain solvent for the vulnerable Americans they were originally intended to serve. To further highlight the dire need for commonsense reforms, I asked our expert witnesses how providing benefits to illegal aliens and able-bodied, working age adults ultimately harms the disabled, elderly Americans, pregnant women, and children.

As y’all know, a recent Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) study identified a key vulnerability in the spillway of 83-year-old Chatuge Dam. While the conditions of the current spillway are not an emergency, the TVA is aiming to improve the safety of the spillway to reduce the risk of the dam’s long-term operations. The agency’s initial proposals raised serious concerns, as they posed potential disastrous economic consequences for residents and small businesses in Towns County.

Over the past two months, I’ve worked closely with constituents, stakeholders, and TVA officials to reach the best outcome possible that effectively balances the safety of spillway operations and the continued economic prosperity of our North Georgia community. I’m incredibly pleased that the TVA has revised its proposals to conduct drawdowns of Lake Chatuge within off-season months for no more than two years, allowing the lake to be refilled for the summer months. The TVA plans to make a final project decision in early 2027, with drawdowns and construction starting no sooner than the fall of 2027. 

I believe the TVA’s recent announcement demonstrates how successful our efforts have been to reach a sensible solution for all parties involved, marking an exciting win for the Ninth District! Please check out my office’s one-pager on the Tennessee Valley Authority’s revised proposals, as well as the agency’s website for additional details.

Last week, Kubota Manufacturing of America unveiled its newly constructed facility in Hall County. The impressive $190 million, 700,000 square feet facility will manufacture front-end loaders for all of Kubota’s tractors. This additional space will significantly boost the company’s manufacturing, allowing Kubota to produce 170,000 units per year — 70,000 more than previous production due to the new expansion.

I’m thrilled with Kubota’s growth in Gainesville, which is projected to bring 500 manufacturing jobs to Northeast Georgia. While I was unable to attend the unveiling due to my work in Washington, several of my field representatives attended the event to celebrate the exciting expansion. I applaud Kubota’s investment into Hall County, which will continue fostering economic prosperity in our community for many years to come.

The House is expected to return to Washington tomorrow to consider the budget reconciliation bill, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, which passed the Senate this afternoon by a vote of 51-50 after Vice President JD Vance broke the tie.

Additionally, I wish you and your family a happy, safe, and patriotic Independence Day! This Friday, we will celebrate 249 years of our great nation and America’s birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence. May we reflect on the significance of our constitutional Republic’s founding, honor the courageous heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our country, and cherish our precious freedoms. God Bless the USA!
