Every year I have the distinct honor of nominating a handful of North Missouri's finest young men and women to attend our Nation's service academies—the US Military Academy (West Point), US Naval Academy, US Coast Guard Academy, US Air Force Academy, and the US Merchant Marine Academy.

In July, the United States federal government will hit its debt ceiling. Now you might be asking yourself: what is the debt ceiling and why should I care?

Well, in addition to authorizing and appropriating what funds the government can spend, Congress also sets a limit on the maximum amount of money the government can borrow—called the debt ceiling or debt limit.

This week I led the House of Representatives in an effort to overturn President Biden's veto of H.J. Res. 27. That's my bill, which would rescind his deeply flawed Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a lifeline for millions of Americans. It doesn't matter if you live in Kansas City or rural Knox County. We all count on the postal service to deliver our prescriptions, bills, packages, and checks on time.

We’ve talked at length about the perils of WOTUS. You should know them by now. President Biden’s “waters of the US” rule is going to place much of your land under the purview of the federal government under the guise of “clean water.” However, this isn't actually about clean water. Every little possible dry puddle shouldn’t be subject to the authority of the federal government.
