Is Our Constitution Adequate to Resist Sharia?
The chaos and destruction in France should be a lesson to America: If we don’t deal with the third-world Islamist and Marxist forces operating within our borders, we will — like France — lose our country. The warning signs are already flashing here. A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 43 percent of likely voters in America aged 18 to 24 view Islamic Sharia law positively — nearly half the rising generation — while only 21 percent of likely voters overall share that view.
TX Rep. Death Threat

Congressman Keith Self Introduces Concurrent Resolution to Denounce Sharia Law
Congressman Keith Self (TX-03) introduced a concurrent resolution denouncing Sharia law and opposing its implementation within the United States.

Weekend Edition - August 22, 2026

Self: We Are Losing the Lone Star State to Political Islam
We are losing Texas. Unconstrained immigration has introduced cultures that have no intention of assimilating to become Americans. Political Islam is on the march, undeterred by federal, state, or local action. This is why fellow Texan Congressman Chip Roy and I started the Sharia-Free America Caucus in Congress. Sixteen Texas members of Congress now belong.
Congressman Keith Self Introduces the PRIVACY Act to Protect Americans’ Fourth Amendment Rights

You Can’t Deter China by Ignoring Europe
There is a mistaken belief by some in Washington that deterring Chinese aggression requires the United States to cut back its military commitments in Europe, where American forces help NATO to deter Moscow. But this approach misses the key fact that Putin’s Russia is an active threat, waging a war of imperial aggression against Ukraine right now and testing whether NATO will defend Poland, the Baltics, and the rest of the alliance’s eastern flank.
Strong and United NATO Will Deter China from Testing American Resolve Elsewhere
Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping see hesitation and debate in Western capitals as weakness and opportunity. Our task must therefore be to show resolve, speed, and strategic clarity.
Reps. Keith Self and Andy Harris, Sen. Rick Scott Pen Op-Ed in Fox News: Don’t Spy on Us
Congressman Keith Self (TX-03), House Freedom Caucus Chairman Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01), and Senator Rick Scott (FL) penned an op-ed demanding meaningful reform to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) ahead of the June 12th expiration of Section 702. The lawmakers draw a direct parallel between today’s unchecked surveillance state and the general warrants and writs of assistance issued by the British Crown that helped spark the American Revolution.
REPS ANDY HARRIS, KEITH SELF, SEN RICK SCOTT: Fix FISA. Don’t spy on us
Video NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! America’s founding generation did not take up arms merely over unreasonable taxation. They understood ceding their rights to the government for promise of security was a bad deal. They believed risking death to live free was better than subsisting under tyranny. They fought back against unchecked tyranny across an ocean. The crown planted spies in their taverns, rifled through their papers without cause and intercepted their private correspondence.
The Surveillance State Is Here — Congress Must Fight Back
It should shock every American that the United States now ranks among the world’s most heavily surveilled nations — keeping dangerous company with authoritarian regimes like China, Russia, and Iran. How did the land of the free become one of the most watched societies on Earth? Our Founders designed the Bill of Rights as a fortress against government intrusion.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee passed Representative Keith Self’s bill H.R. 8668, titled the “State Department Recurring Reports Repeal and Sunset Act of 2026.” This bill eliminates or sunsets 52 outdated and duplicative reporting requirements and reduces the required frequency of a further 12. “This bill examines a simple question: Does every recurring report still serve a meaningful purpose?” said Congressman Self during debate.
CBDCs: Government’s tool to control what you buy and own
OPINION: A Central Bank Digital Currency would be the ultimate tool of surveillance and control and is antithetical to the values of liberty and financial freedom. With a CBDC, the government could track every purchase you make: the gun store you visit, the church or political cause you donate to, the books you buy, the medication you need and the out-of-state travel you undertake. No more private transactions. No more anonymous charity. No more financial independence from Washington’s gaze.
Congressman Keith Self Introduces Bill to Send $56 Million in Unusable Funds Back to Treasury
Congressman Keith Self (TX-03) introduced a bill that would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to send $56 million in unusable funds back to the Treasury Department.

No Amnesty, No Surrender: Why The DIGNIDAD Act Must Die | Eastern NC Now
Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the The Daily Wire. The author of this post is Keith Self, Andrew Clyde, Sheri Biggs, Randy Fine. Mass amnesty would be a slap in the face to the American people - and a betrayal of the mandate voters delivered in 2024. The American people sent Republicans to Washington to secure the border, enforce our laws, and put American workers and families first. Yet some in our own party are attempting to resurrect the deeply flawed DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act.
Congressman Keith Self Sends FY2027 Appropriations Letter to Chairman Cole
Congressman Keith Self (TX-03) sent a fiscal year 2027 appropriations letter to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, authoring a comprehensive conservative blueprint across all 12 appropriations subcommittees. The letter, submitted to Chairman Cole on March 13, 2026, demands that Republicans hold the line on spending, defund Biden-era regulatory overreach, and deliver the conservative policy wins the American people voted for.
Follow this roadmap to dismantle the Left’s spending empire
OPINION: THE BIDEN RULE CONGRESS HAS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO KILL Republicans now hold the House, Senate, and White House — a rare trifecta carrying a clear mandate to cut spending, reform entitlements, and restrain the administrative state. We must ensure that promises are incorporated into actionable legislation. There is a profound difference between a political demand and a legislative instrument. Vague goals disappear. Statutory language written into appropriations bills becomes law.
The FBI should get a warrant before reading your messages Original
Conservatives have spent decades fighting government overreach. We have opposed IRS targeting of Tea Party groups, regulatory power-grabs, and agencies that treat the Bill of Rights as a suggestion. So explain this: Why are Republican leaders in Congress lining up to renew a surveillance law that lets the FBI read Americans' private communications without asking a judge? Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act expires on April 30.

REPS. FINE, SELF, HARRIS, Enough is enough: We'll block the Senate until the SAVE Act passes Original
Video Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on President Donald Trump calling on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act and the DHS funding battle on ‘Special Report.’ NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Wednesday marks one month since House Republicans took a bold stand for the soul of our democracy by passing the SAVE America Act.

Freezing winds and biting cold forced the ceremony indoors, echoing President Ronald Reagan‘s second inauguration in 1985, when temperatures plunged to 7 degrees Fahrenheit and the event moved to the same historic space. During both inaugurations, winter’s fury became a powerful symbol of American resilience and unyielding resolve.
