Two dozen House Republicans from across the political spectrum are backing a resolution to formally recognize Taiwan – a break from current U.S. policy that would rankle leaders in Beijing. The resolution, put forth by Reps. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., and Scott Perry, R-Pa., would encourage President Donald Trump to abandon the U.S.’s longstanding ‘One China’ Policy and formally recognize Taiwan as autonomous.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Thursday that "DEI is dead with the Trump administration." On the first week into his second term, President Donald Trump dismissed Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, former commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, over concerns about her fixation on DEI issues and the border. Tiffany said, "discriminate, exclude, indoctrinate. It's dead."

A group of House Republicans is pushing for Congress to reroute foreign aid funding frozen by President Donald Trump into enhanced deportation efforts of illegal immigrants in the U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is unveiling his Restoring American Sovereignty Act on Thursday, backed by fellow House Freedom Caucus members Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Tom Tiffany, R-Wis.

Reps. Tom Tiffany, Burgess Owens, Claudia Tenney, Andy Ogles and others have reintroduced the Fairness, Anti-Discrimination and Individual Rights (FAIR) Act, aimed at following through on Trump’s executive orders demanding that federal DEI programs die — and stay dead. Specifically, the legislation bars federal agencies, federal contractors, states, universities, or any other recipient of federal funds from “intentionally discriminating against or granting a preference to any person or group based on race, color, or national origin.”

Republican Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany (7th District) was angered by the incident. An illegal alien who was deported in 2019 was arrested in Wisconsin for killing 1 person and injuring a family of 5 while driving under the influence,” Tiffany wrote on X on Saturday. “His employer knew he was here illegally.” “This criminal and the company must be held accountable,” the lawmaker said.

U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin’s 7th congressional district and Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert led 30 members of Congress to reintroduce legislation to remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species List. The Pet and Livestock Protection Act requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue the 2020 Department of the Interior final rule that delisted gray wolves in the lower 48 United States. It also ensures this rule cannot be overturned through judicial review, preventing activist judges, like the California judge who vacated the rule in 2022, from relisting the gray wolf by judicial fiat.

Two Republican house members introduced bill Friday that would take grey wolves off the endangered species list, citing a significant population rebound that puts livestock, pets and humans alike in danger. Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert and Republican Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany introduced the Pet and Livestock Protection Act, which would direct the secretary of the interior to reinstate a 2020 final rule that removed the predator from the list in the lower 48 states, sending population management back to the state governments.

As the second week of Donald Trump's presidency begins, a western Wisconsin congressman is introducing legislation that would ban Diversity, Equity and Inclusion known as DEI, in the federal government. It's called the 'FAIR Act' and it was introduced by 7th Congressional Representative Tom Tiffany. 18 News spoke with Tiffany Monday while he held a listening session in Ladysmith.
