Last week, our team joined @RepJimBaird, officials from the U.S. Treasury Department, local chambers of commerce, and @PurdueResFound for a tour of @Saab's manufacturing facility in West Lafayette.
Saab’s work supports good-paying Hoosier jobs, strengthens America’s defense industrial base, and is another way Indiana is contributing to our national security.
Congressman Jim Baird retweeted
Assistant Secretary Chris Pilkerton visited Saab, Inc. in West Lafayette, Indiana with @RepJimBaird to demonstrate how investment from companies that complete CFIUS review can strengthen U.S. national security and local economies.
The visit was another opportunity for the Office of Investment Security to highlight Treasury’s Strategic Vendor Program and Investment Security Technology Initiative. @Saab supports America’s warfighters and the defense industrial base, working with more than 1,200 domestic suppliers across 41 states.

On this day in 1890, Eddie Rickenbacker is born in Columbus, Ohio.
Owner of IMS from 1927 through 1945, Rickenbacker made his name as a WWI fighter pilot and four-time #Indy500 entrant before owning the track.

🌱 Strengthening America’s food future starts with seeds. USDA’s new $180M Seed Sovereignty Initiative will help sequence major crops, protect plant genetic resources, and unlock innovations for farmers nationwide.
We’re expanding the promise of seeds—for farmers, consumers, and the future.

At Tuesday’s hearing, @RepJimBaird asked how outdated weather and rainfall data can affect farmers—from costly planning decisions and uninsured losses to infrastructure built to the wrong standard.
He also asked how USDA and NOAA can work together to ensure farmers and communities have access to the most up-to-date rainfall data.
Watch the full exchange below. ⬇️

Indiana pig farmers had the chance to sit down with @RepRudyYakym and @RepJimBaird to talk about the Farm Bill, Prop12, MAHA, trade, and workforce development. We appreciate them taking time to listen to our issues. #PorkinAction2026 #NPPCLAC2026

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY BELONGS TO THE MARXISTS⚠️
Yesterday, 96% of House Democrats SUPPORTED socialism.
Today, 205 Democrats voted to PACK the Supreme Court.
The message is unmistakable: the Democrat Party is run by Marxists.
The RADICAL left isn’t knocking at the door anymore. They’re running the show.

I have requested a Presidential Emergency Declaration through FEMA to bring additional federal resources to Indiana as we continue responding to this week’s severe weather.
I will continue to do everything in my power to protect Hoosier lives and livelihoods.
Congressman Jim Baird retweeted
.@SBA_Kelly took a quick look around @IMS and then we joined Hoosier small business leaders for a conversation about strengthening Indiana’s economy and workforce. Thanks to everyone who joined us for the discussion, including my congressional colleagues.

Who benefits from the Take Care of America's Veterans Act?
More than 32 million veterans, service members, caregivers, survivors, and military families. These aren't just numbers—they're Americans who deserve better.

The Take Care of America’s Veterans Act is the only pathway forward for the Maj. Richard Star Act.
That’s not a talking point, it’s a fact.
This bill is fully paid for and finally delivers long overdue relief.
60,000 combat-wounded, disabled veterans have waited long enough for their earned benefits. It’s time to put election year politics aside and deliver for veterans and their families.
Congressman Jim Baird retweeted
For years, David Star — the brother of the late Maj. Richard Star — has pushed legislation to deliver support for over 59,000 combat-wounded veterans.
Let's pass the Take Care of America's Veterans Act in honor of disabled veterans like Maj. Richard Star.

The WWII vets featured in the President’s speech watched the fireworks from their memorial. ❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🎆

"From George Washington’s Continental Army to the creation of the U.S. Space Force, every generation has had brave servicemembers answer the call to serve, not because it is easy, but because America is worth defending."
Reflections on America's 250th birthday this July 4th from former @BipartisanVets Vice Chair, Army veteran, and one of the last three Vietnam veterans in Congress @RepJimBaird.
