CONG. PFLUGER: Showing the Permian Basin & Texas to Members of Congress

Counterterrorism Hearing on Rise in Antisemitic Terror Attacks

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. –  I was honored to partner with House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) to host several committee members in the Permian Basin this week. During the visit, we toured a uranium enrichment facility, participated in a roundtable discussion with industry executives, and toured a hydraulic fracturing site.

The Permian Basin is the heartbeat of the American energy industry. I believe that being able to see the region that powers the world firsthand is crucial for Members of Congress, which is why I am always eager to host them here. From my first day in Congress, I have vowed to be a voice for this region and industry in Washington.

I am working tirelessly in Congress—alongside my fellow members on the Energy and Commerce Committee and in partnership with the energy sector—to support reliable baseload power. Natural gas is essential to securing our electric grid, and I am committed to protecting it to strengthen America’s energy future.

Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Act of 2025
This week, the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy advanced my legislation through markup. The Unlocking Domestic LNG Act of 2025 will now move to be considered by the full committee.

This legislation would depoliticize the export of American liquefied natural gas (LNG) by eliminating the requirement for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to authorize its export and instead giving the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) sole authority over the approval process.

Counterterrorism Hearing on Rise in Antisemitic Terror Attacks
As Chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, I will be holding a hearing next week on the rise in antisemitic, anti-Israel terror attacks on U.S. soil. In the wake of the attack on pro-Israel supporters and the tragic deaths of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C., we are faced with yet another stark reminder of the violent hatred that has been allowed to proliferate since the October 7th attacks.

Antisemitic violence and harassment will not, and cannot, remain unchecked in the United States of America—whether it’s on college campuses or in our communities.
