We must stand up against these Insane & Dangerous policies – and protect the integrity of Women
By Congressman Randy Weber
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — The fight lasted only 46 seconds before Carini called it off. An Algerian boxer with male chromosomes won a fight in the 66-kilogram women’s division at the Paris Olympics last Thursday. Imane Khelif defeated Italy’s Angela Carini – after Carini abandoned her match.
This is outrageous and disgusting that this is allowed to happen.
Allowing men in women's sports is both evil and dangerous. Democrats support this insanity, and we cannot let this gross injustice pass quietly. Men should not be allowed to compete against women in sports, period.
Back in March, I supported the Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act, which ensures only women can compete in USA Women's Olympic Events. We also passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023, strengthening existing protections for women, ensuring a level playing field for female athletes, and protecting the law from the Biden administration’s radical regulatory schemes.
Earlier this month, the House passed the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn the Biden-Harris administration’s unlawful Title IX rules.
Unfortunately, yesterday, the Biden-Harris administration's harmful Title IX rewrite went into effect. This rule equates sex with gender identity. Fifty-two years of progress and sex-based protections have been erased with the stroke of a pen.
We must stand up against these dangerous policies and protect the integrity of women's sports.
Making America Affordable Again
Over the past few months, I have been working tirelessly on the Energy and Commerce Committee to champion policies that secure Southeast Texas' status as the energy capital of the world. Our efforts are paving the way for economic growth, job creation, and a sustainable future for our communities.
We are leading to boost American energy production, lower the cost of living, and improve the American people’s quality of life.
Signed into law: S. 870, the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act, to expand affordable, reliable, and clean nuclear energy by enabling efficient, timely, and predictable licensing and regulations.
Signed into law: H.R. 5718, the Nuclear Fuel Security Act of 2023, to increase domestic production of nuclear fuel, which will enhance our national and energy security by reducing our reliance on adversaries like Russia.
Passed Congress, vetoed by the Biden-Harris administration: S.J. Res. 11, bipartisan legislation to stop President Biden’s plan to increase prices for everything transported by truck, including food, clothing, and building materials.
Passed the House: H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, to unleash American energy, create jobs, reduce our emissions, strengthen our national security, and secure our supply chains. H.R. 1 incorporates 16 bills that passed out of the Energy and Commerce Committee. The package would create over 600,000 jobs, expand pipeline infrastructure, and cut red tape for the importing and exporting of liquified natural gas (LNG).
Passed the House: H.R. 5378, the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, to increase price transparency in the health care system, address the cost of prescription drugs, and support patients, health care workers, community health centers, and hospitals.

Passed the House: H.R. 6192, the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act, to prohibit the Secretary of Energy from issuing energy efficiency regulations that are not affordable for Americans.
Passed the House: H.R. 4468, the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act, to pump the brakes on President Biden's de facto EV mandate, which will send our auto future and jobs to China.

Passed the House: H.R. 3950, the Transparency In Charges for Key Events Ticketing (TICKET) Act, combined with H.R. 6568, the Speculative Ticketing Oversight and Prohibition (STOP) Act, to bring price transparency to live event ticketing so Americans can understand the true price of the ticket they are buying. Highlight on social media how House Republicans have led to unleash American energy, in contrast to the Biden-Harris administration which has shut down energy production and jobs here at home at every turn.
Passed the House: H.R. 6543, the No Hidden Fees On Extra Expenses for Stays Act of 2023, to bring price transparency to hotel and short-term lodging accommodations so Americans can understand the true price of a stay.
