Friends,
Last week, President Joe Biden marked his first 100 days in office. I give him an A on his rhetoric but an F on his results. Here's why.
President Biden called for unity and bipartisanship in his inaugural address. I was at the inauguration to demonstrate my commitment to our nation's peaceful transfer of power. I have always worked across the aisle on bipartisan solutions and hope to work with the president whenever possible.
House Republicans have declared that they will start work again on the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border if they win control of the House in the midterm elections, the Washington Examiner reported on Monday.
When he entered the White House in January, President Joe Biden halted construction of new sections of the border wall, one of former President Donald Trump's major projects.
The GOP apparently plans to make border security a top campaign issue for the midterms next year.
Friends,
These are challenging times and you deserve better than the partisanship coming from Washington.
I was encouraged by President Joe Biden calling for unity in his inaugural address. But I've been disappointed since then, as he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi have pushed their agenda without making any real efforts toward bipartisanship.
House Republicans, eager to elevate border security to a top 2022 campaign issue, said Monday they would revive the now-stalled construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that was championed by former President Donald Trump and nixed by President Joe Biden.
"I think we need to look at every possible tool," House Conference Committee Chairwoman Liz Cheney said at the Republican issues retreat in Orlando, Florida. "That includes the wall, and it includes technology and being able to move again toward agreements where people who are seeking asylum stay in Mexico."
FORT BRAGG — North Carolina's members of Congress have introduced a bill that would consolidate Fort Bragg into one federal judicial district in Fayetteville, a news release from U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis' office states.

Fort Bragg currently encompasses six North Carolina counties — Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Moore, Scotland, and Randolph.
WASHINGTON — The Lumbee Recognition Act is back before the U.S. House of Representatives.
The legislation that would give full federal recognition, and the benefits that come with the designation, to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina was reintroduced Thursday by a bipartisan group House members from North Carolina. The group was comprised of Reps. Dan Bishop, Republican; G.K. Butterfield, Democrat; Richard Hudson, Republican; and David Price, a Democrat.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Richard Burr (R-NC) and U.S. Representatives Deborah Ross (D-NC) and Richard Hudson (R-NC) introduced bipartisan legislation supported by the entire North Carolina delegation to reduce the burden on defendants by consolidating Fort Bragg into one federal judicial district whose courthouse is in Fayetteville.
We know there are certain controllable factors that affect our risk of developing cancer. Whether you smoke, what you eat and drink, and how often you exercise can all play a role.
We are also aware that some factors are out of our control, like family history of the disease. What most people do not know, however, is that our ZIP code has an effect on how we experience cancer.
Friends,
The crisis at our border continues to get worse and the fallout continues to mount.
In the House Energy and Commerce Committee, we held a hearing last week on the opioid epidemic. We discussed how fentanyl-based substance use has skyrocketed over the past year while we have dealt with lockdowns and the pandemic. We also learned the Biden Border Crisis is only making this problem worse.
