    It’s simple. The Senate needs to act. Send something back to us that secures the border. We’ve punted on this issue for too long.

    Jim Mattis is a patriot who has served his country with distinction for more than four decades. His parting counsel about treating our friends like our friends and our enemies like our enemies cannot be emphasized enough.

    By giving federal prisoners the training and education they need to succeed upon release, this bill goes a long way toward ensuring they are productive members of their communities and don’t return to a life of crime.

    We need a long-term strategy in Syria that advances our interests and protects our allies. Virtual presence will translate into actual absence. I'm afraid we will soon regret a hasty retreat.

    Long-term, I’m concerned about the growing Russian military presence in Syria. If we are not careful, Russia could grow its new naval and air bases to threaten our access in the eastern Mediterranean, and perhaps even Suez.

    The administration is right to want to roll back Iranian influence in the region, but we can’t do that if we aren’t engaged on the ground in support of our allies. Handing Syria to the Assad/Putin/Iranian axis is no way to bring stability to Syria, or to the region.

    President Obama found out the hard way that withdrawing unilaterally from Middle East hotspots tends to leave power vacuums that are filled by actors that do not share our interests. In the case of our exit from Iraq, we only ended up emboldening Iran.

    "What a country, where someone of an unassuming Midwest upbringing gets a chance to be part of all of this...You can pursue whatever your passion is, wherever it takes you. I mean, that's the American idea, isn't it?" Excellent address. Thank you for everything, .

    Three years ago, we began a great journey to set our nation on a better path. Now, my season of service is coming to a close. Tune in live soon for my Farewell Address as Speaker of the House:

    More than anything, what this week’s wall-funding-fueled, potential shutdown demonstrates is that if Congress fails to change the way it does business, trust in the institution will only continue to erode.

    The only explanation I've heard for the recess is that we're waiting on a compromise. But that gets it backwards—that assumes it has to be , , and in a back room cutting a deal and that we as members of the House don't have a separate job to do.

    . says there is no reason Congress should be home for 5 and a half days before a potential government shutdown. Listen to our full interview with him:

    The problem is we aren't having this debate. It's been five days since Congress was last in session, and with a shutdown looming Friday, discussions are happening behind closed doors. Lock us in on the House & Senate floors and let's have the discussion.

    If maneuvers shutdown debate into a debate over constructing a long, strong border barrier along the 700-1000 miles or passable border, he will win that debate and will let the shutdown go on as long as is necessary to do that. Border barriers make sense.

    Glad to see the large turn out at the Wreaths Across America ceremony in King this weekend. Especially during the holidays when we're home celebrating with our families, it's important to remember that our veterans' sacrifices helped make that possible.
