Cleaning Up Our Capital 🧹

Before Washington, D.C. came to be, Congress had to meet up all over the place. It wasn’t until 1790 that President George Washington picked a pretty spot along the Potomac, gave it his namesake, and started building a place for us to congregate.

But if General Washington could see the nation’s capital today, I have a feeling he’d be appalled.

Folks in the media like to keep beating the “crime is down” drum—but down from what? An all-time high!? Let’s be honest, Washington bureaucrats have set the bar pretty dadgum low over the past few years.

If you don’t believe me, headlines don’t lie. Hill staffers have been stabbed just blocks from the Capitol. Shootings are happening before sundown in neighborhoods that were once considered “upscale.” And the carjackings? Don’t even get me started. One Senator said he doesn’t even buckle up anymore—just in case he’s gotta get out in a hurry—and I don’t blame him.

We’re talking about the capital of the United States of America—a place that should welcome diplomats and leaders from around the world with pride. Instead, they’re greeted by homeless encampments, blaring sirens, and that eerie feeling where you just know you should keep your head on a swivel.

What was once a “shining city on a hill” is now a complete dump.

So, President Trump is taking matters into his own hands to restore law and order—and the Democrat Party, the champions of chaos, are in full meltdown mode. After he brought in the National Guard to get this filth under control, the Left started in with their typical hysterics, acting as if basic law enforcement is some sort of attack on democracy. But we all know the truth: They just hate anything President Trump does. The man could cure cancer and they’d still find a reason to complain. Heck, even a wildly liberal MSNBC host admitted that people on his side of the aisle aren’t being honest about this whole thing.

Either way, the crime crackdown is long overdue. A city that can’t keep its streets safe can’t lead the rest of the nation.

Washington, D.C. should reflect the greatness of America—not serve as a cautionary tale. 

More Quality Time In Tennessee 🧡

The highlight of this week? Meeting with Education Secretary Linda McMahon to talk about ways we can boost literacy for our kids. Young folks are the future, and it’s our job to make sure they have the tools they need to succeed.

I also visited Mechman Alternators to see the craftsmanship that goes into building made-in-America car products—right here in East Tennessee. It’s hardworking folks like these who keep our economy running!

The Tennessee Valley Authority’s River Forecast Center was another visit to recap—talking with the experts who manage everything from flood control and hydropower to recreation and clean drinking water. Their work touches just about every part of our daily lives.

Of course, no week is complete without a little time with Theo, our office dog. He’s convinced he’s the real boss around here, and honestly, he may be right.
