Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments for the case State of Idaho v. United States, in which Idaho is challenging the Biden administration’s interpretation of a statute known as EMTALA – the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. Idaho’s Attorney General is arguing that the Biden administration has manipulated federal law in order to force ER doctors to perform abortions, which are illegal in Idaho since the Defense of Life Act went into effect with the fall of Roe.

That is the question I have begun to ask my friends who are struggling with the decision to support Trump now that he is the likely Republican nominee. It is a very simple question designed to inspire some deep soul searching in order for each of us as voters to make a rational decision for who should lead this nation in the next White House.

Here’s another exercise that I have started to recommend to my friends:

In February, 189,922 illegal aliens were caught crossing the southern border making it the 36th straight month where illegal alien encounters have been higher than any month under the previous administration. Since President Biden took office, over 7.4 million illegal aliens have been encountered at the southern border alone and over 9 million illegal aliens have been encountered nationwide.

I am honored to receive the endorsement of my friends and neighbors who represent the Third Congressional District Republicans. It is these individuals who supported me to victory two years ago when we flipped this seat together, and I am proud to have received their support again. Together, we have stopped Joe Biden’s disastrous agenda while working to support the families, farmers, and workers of this district. I look forward to going back to Washington so I can continue the work we started.

This week, the House voted on legislation to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

This is a tool used by our intelligence agencies to surveil foreigners without a warrant, but it was found that the FBI conducted 3.4 million warrantless searches on Americans in 2021.

That’s over 9,000 warrantless searches a day.

In 2022, there were also 204,000 warrantless searches.

FISA was never meant to turn into Federal Investigators Surveilling Americans.
