Republican members of Alabama’s congressional delegation are celebrating after the public release of FBI special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, with Rep. Mike Rogers (AL-03) calling the investigation “tantamount to an attempted coup.” Meanwhile, the two congressional Democrats from Alabama were silent immediately following the report’s release. “It is worth reiterating that during the first two […]

None of these things were necessary, but President Donald Trump has options to circumvent her ploy to embarrass him. He can't let her do this.

Pelosi's aggressive decision to cancel the SOTU is being met with resistance from within her own party, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) says it is the "wrong approach" and "Where I come from in West Virginia we just don’t act this way."

It is now day 24 of the partial government shutdown, the President has backed off his threat of an emergency declaration over the weekend, his party is still being blamed for the shutdown, and there seems to be no end in sight.

In the spirit of welcoming a new year, I have recently spent time reflecting upon the many positive developments we experienced in our district, state, and country in 2018. Unemployment is historically low, our economy is booming, and hardworking Americans are getting to keep more of the money they earn thanks to our tax reform overhaul. 2018 […]

On January 3, the 116th Congress convened under the control of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As folks across East Alabama know, a few days before Christmas, the federal government partially shutdown because of the Senate’s unwillingness to consider House passed legislation that funded the government for the rest of the fiscal year along with over $5 billion […]

Byrne: What’s ahead in 2019

With 2018 behind us, it is time to start looking at what you can expect from Washington in 2019. Under Republican leadership, we in Congress aimed to make America better off, and thanks to our many victories through conservative policies, we accomplished that goal. Under Democrat control, there is no telling what craziness will come […]

With no end in sight for the government shutdown, President Trump will take to the airwaves to make his case to the American people that there is a "Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border".

After a meeting between Vice President Mike Pence and Democrats, Trump tweeted that we are moving closer to a deal with steel, "We are now planning a Steel Barrier rather than concrete", Democrats disagree saying, "no progress was made".

Speaker Pelosi is attempting to appear to be acting in good faith by choosing to ignore funding any border security while calling a vote Thursday night on a budget plan that funds every shutdown federal agency for the balance of Fiscal Year 2019, this goes nowhere and everyone knows it.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters the House plans to open parts of the government is going nowhere in his body, "The Senate will be glad to vote on a measure that the House passes that the president will sign. But we’re not going to vote on anything else."

In a Christmas morning availability in the Oval Office, the President told the press, "I can’t tell you when the government is going to be open, I can tell you it's not going o be open until we have a wall, a fence, whatever they want to call it."

Jackson closes the show with a "parting shot" directed at Republicans who should learn that criticizing this President from the right will change his actions.

The outgoing House of Representatives went back to the drawing board and added $5 billion for the wall, the Senate will now take up the measure but a government shutdown is looming.

During the election, my callers would tell me he is the only one who fights back and I would tell them that Trump is nothing more than a silver spoon pansy who could talk tough because he would never have to back it up.

One-third of conservatives would pay for the wall with their own money, 19% percent said they would pay an additional $100, 19 percent said they would pay $300, and two percent said they would pay more than $1,000 per year.

During an insane meeting with the future Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader, the President declared he would welcome a government shutdown AND own the shutdown himself.

Roby: Border security is a priority for Alabamians

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, one of my jobs is to work alongside my colleagues to see that the government is funded on time each year. It’s no secret that the process is far from perfect and Congress often falls short of executing this important responsibility in the way our founding fathers […]

Roby: Reflecting on October

There have been several exciting, noteworthy developments for our district, state, and country lately. For starters, now that November is upon us, President Trump has again declared this month the second annual National Veterans and Military Families Month to “salute the brave and dedicated patriots who have worn the uniform of the United States, and… […]

7. Democrat campaigns have been busted attempting to mislead people in Missouri, Tennessee, Arizona and now Florida  — An undercover video from James O’Keefe and Project Veritas exposed another Democrat campaign full of deception. Staffers for Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum let their guard down and told an undercover journalist the truth, saying, “Gillum is a […]

Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-Huntsville) told WVNN radio this morning that he believes the move by the President is one that is not only necessary, but he believes the President should be lauded for taking the step.

As the media whines about tone, over 50 percent say Trump has no responsibility for the bombing attempts and only 25 percent say he does

Rep. Byrne: Breaking down Tax Reform 2.0

Since Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act last year, the American economy is booming, and Alabama families have more money in their pockets. By lowering taxes and simplifying the tax code, we have unlocked our economic potential and made life better for hardworking Americans. The economic numbers speak for themselves: higher wages, lower […]
