Proud to join forces with @GOPMajorityWhip on legis to keep the Fed from issuing a central bank digital currency. The Fed should be focused on its core mission of stable prices and max employment, not tracking our transactions indefinitely.
Today, I introduced the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act to halt efforts of unelected bureaucrats in Washington, DC from stripping Americans of their right to financial privacy. 👇

Grateful to join this effort.
These unelected bureaucrats are driving us to an authoritarian state.
That can't happen.

43 years ago today, a group of young hockey players (many of them fellow Minnesotans) accomplished one of the greatest moments in American sports history.
"Do you believe in miracles?! Yes!"

After all, America remains a technological leader not because we force innovations to adopt our values under regulatory duress, but because we allow technology that holds these values at their core to flourish.

Any digital version of the dollar must uphold our American values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free market competitiveness. Anything less opens the door to the development of a dangerous surveillance tool.

The bill does three things:
1. Prohibits the Fed from issuing a CBDC directly to anyone.
2. Bars the Fed from using a CBDC to implement monetary policy and control the economy.
3. Requires the Fed's CBDC projects to be transparent to Congress and the American people

Joe Biden rode in the luxury compartment of a train to visit Kyiv yesterday.
He still hasn't even uttered a word publicly about the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
The irony is astounding.

Yesterday was the first time a sitting Speaker of the House has ever visited our Southern border in Arizona.
We cannot afford to ignore the crisis any longer. We MUST secure the border.

House Republicans are bringing common sense back to Congress. We've voted to:
✅Defund Biden's army of 87K IRS agents
✅End the perpetual COVID state
✅Reject illegal immigrants voting in our elections
✅Restore the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
We're just getting started.

🚨CBO’s new projections are frightening🚨
-$1.4T deficit in FY23
-National debt nearly doubling to $46T by 2033 (+118% of GDP)
-Medicare and Social Security trust funds exhausted
-Interest costs over $1T
The math always wins.

For every dollar the federal government brings in, we’re spending $1.29. That just doesn’t work.
House Republicans are ready to negotiate sensible spending reforms that will put our country on a more sustainable path.

It’s past time for President Biden to publicly address the unprecedented invasion of American airspace. Our adversaries are taking notes, and the American people deserve answers.

January was the 23rd consecutive month with 150k+ illegal crossings as Biden’s border crisis continues.
I was at the border six months ago and the situation is just as bad as ever now.
Here’s what officials on the ground said in August.👇🧵

Chairman @RepArrington after @BLS_gov CPI showed inflation continuing at a forty-year high :
“Hardworking Americans continue to pay the price for Democrat’s unbridled spending with higher consumer costs, lower wages, and a stagnate economy.”

Joe Biden is continuing his premature victory lap on the economy despite today's CPI report showing inflation surged last month.
But that gaslighting doesn't work on anyone who's had to go to the grocery store, put gas in their car, or pay their utility bills lately.
