#Bidenflation is still forcing American families to pay more for just about everything:
🥚Eggs UP 49.1%
⚡️Electricity UP 13.7%
✈️Airline Fares UP 36%
🍞Bread UP 15.7%
🧈Butter UP 27%
@HouseGOP will rein in inflation-fueling gov’t spending when we take control on January 3rd.
BREAKING: Inflation rises 7.1% in November, consumer prices remain near multi-decade high

Oversight is crucial to creating a government that is accountable to the American people.
Let us be clear, we will hold the Biden Administration accountable.

Probably a good time to re-up my bipartisan Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act.
The bill asserts that blockchain entities that never custody consumer funds are not money transmitters… providing necessary legal certainty to ensure the future of crypto reflects American values.

A country that cannot feed itself cannot survive. We cannot allow foreign nations to hijack America’s agricultural resources.
Last week, we joined @RepStefanik and @RepRickCrawford in introducing the Agricultural Foreign Investment Transparency Act.

#Bidenflation is a tax on ALL Americans.
In 21 days, the new House Republican majority will work to REIN in Joe Biden's out-of-control spending to drive down costs for the American people.

My office looks forward to working with Ray’s team to uncover the extent to which the SEC was negotiating backroom regulatory deals with FTX and IEX at the expense of American investors.

While Bankman-Fried is in custody, John Ray assisted our Committee’s investigation into SBF’s con.
Ray committed to providing my office with correspondence between FTX and the SEC as well as details into the nature and scale of FTX’s investment into IEX.
So @GaryGensler knows that FTX was fraudulent from its inception.
This is egregious considering he had more meetings with Bankman-Fried than anyone in the space to discuss a crypto regulatory framework designed to benefit FTX alone.
He will be held accountable.

“There’s more important things going on.” – President Joe Biden
“The border is secure.” – Vice President Kamala Harris
“Look, the border is secure.” – DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
Here’s the border:
BREAKING: A huge migrant caravan of over 1,000 people crossed illegally into El Paso, TX last night, making it the largest single group we have ever seen. The city of El Paso reports Border Patrol now has over 5,000 in custody & has released hundreds to city streets. @FoxNews

The Government Shutdown Prevention Act will automatically decrease spending by 1% across the board and reduce spending by an additional 1% every 90 days until a government funding agreement is reached.

The Congressional budget process is broken. We are on the brink of a government shutdown that could have serious implications for millions of Americans.
@SenRandPaul and I have introduced legislation that will avert a shutdown in the event a spending agreement cannot be reached.

Last week, a reporter asked @POTUS, “Why would you visit [Arizona] and not visit the border?”
President Biden said: “There are more important things going on."
A complete and total failure.

The COVID vaccine mandate in the U.S. military is ending.
With recruiting shortfalls across military branches, this is a necessary step to strengthen American national security.

Americans can’t afford Joe Biden’s anti-energy agenda any longer. This winter:
📈Home heating oil prices could rise 45%
📈Natural gas prices could rise 25%
📈Electricity prices could rise 11%
House GOP will fight to unleash American energy DOMINANCE.

This is unthinkable. How many more stories like this do we need before the Biden Administration takes real action to stop fentanyl coming into our country?
