The need for me to rescue 36 individuals during the collapse of Hamid Karzai International Airport stemmed from insufficient planning and a lack of action by government officials. This experience underscored the importance of timely and effective responses in crises. In reflecting on that operation and its aftermath, I find a troubling parallel in the situation with Tigran Gambaryan. The lack of a robust response from Washington, D.C., regarding his unlawful detention contrasts sharply with his significant contributions to combating illicit activities. This discrepancy highlights a need for a more proactive approach from our government.

Canada has been rocked by reports detailing the extent of Chinese interference across its democratic institutions. China’s capacity to influence Canadian politics and to infiltrate the political elite presents a stark warning that foreign interference is a very real threat, and China will take advantage of unwary Western nations.

The world is becoming increasingly volatile, making it clear that the United States must quickly secure our supply chains and eliminate dependence on foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). As the Chairman of the House Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee, I believe we can no longer tolerate the CCP’s tight grip over the critical minerals needed for American fighter jets, cellphones, lifesaving medical devices, and mandated electric vehicle fleets, along with so many products Americans use daily.

More than 6,000 miles away from my home state of South Dakota, mafias in China are pulling strings and calling the shots on Chinese nationals in America. These mafias are orchestrating shocking criminal activities in America, from human and drug trafficking to fraud and money laundering. As a member of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), it’s become clear through hearings and research that we should never assume China’s motive is pure, right, or good. Their anti-American and anti-freedom approach to governing and global affairs is a root of evil that is spreading throughout the world in subtle yet significant ways. It grows underground, undetected, until it sprouts up in our communities.

Communist China is an ideological, military, economic, commercial, technological, intelligence and diplomatic rival, and companies in China produce nearly all illicit fentanyl precursors, the key ingredients that drive the global illicit fentanyl trade. These threats are known. However, the CCP’s involvement with transnational crime and money laundering is not recognized. This must change.

During the Cold War, most Americans would be alarmed if they discovered their everyday purchases and government-backed retirement funds were financing the Soviet’s military, its strategic initiatives and even providing employment opportunities. Unfortunately, most policymakers in Washington D.C. and business leaders across the country fail to apply this same logic against the Chinese Communist Party.

In a win for America's farmers and landowners, House Agriculture Committee Chairman, G.T. Thompson has taken a stand against the ever-expanding agendas of environmentalists. By rejecting language in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) from the current draft of the 2024 Farm Bill, Thompson is maintaining the bill's focus on supporting agriculture rather than controlling it.
