I was proud to vote for this bill authored by Congressman Ciscomani to crack down on dangerous high-speed chases near the border. It's another step toward securing our border. The bill passed the House today and now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Americans are not worried about the academic impact or theory of regulations. They are worried about how regulations impact their day to day lives and their ability to pursue the American dream. WATCH: @RepDerekSchmidt

House passed bill tonight (H.R. 736) to delay by a year the requirement for nearly all small businesses to file statements of "beneficial ownership"--required by the Corporate Transparency Act. It's unnecessary paperwork. I prefer repeal, but delay better than nothing. Voted yes.

I support President Trump eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse at USAID. We must ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely on initiatives that promote our standing in the world, not to push political agendas.

Dawn of another week with @realDonaldTrump and @DOGE: "Restoring fiscal sanity is essential to restoring public trust in government....The fiction that everything government does is essential to life as we know it is how the size and cost got so bloated."

To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible. - All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING! - The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily. The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already! Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

Our country is $36+ trillion in debt. U.S. spends more on interest than defense. Growing debt is an existential threat to our republic. So I commend @realDonaldTrump and encourage patience with his DOGE effort. As Americans, we must turn this ship around--before it sinks.

The House today passed this bill to strengthen federal law used to impede the flow of fentanyl into our communities. I was proud to support it. I hope the Senate will follow suit and send the bill to the President to sign into law.

Headed to DC after a week in Kansas during which I visited 9 of the 27 counties in our 2nd congressional district. The U.S. House this week will take up legislation to fight fentanyl trafficking and to support U.S. energy dominance by allowing fracking.
