As Ranking Member of @BankingGOP, I am doing everything in my power to make sure we get answers from regulators on why they were asleep at the wheel.

.@SenatorTimScott: "I strongly believe it is important we bring our markets to a calm and orderly resolution. Our financial services sector must stay strong and measured to serve the needs of the American people. Building a culture of government intervention does nothing to stop future institutions from relying on the government to swoop in after taking excessive risks. I remain committed to bringing accountability and answers to the American people, both from the banks and our regulators. We deserve to know what exactly happened and why." banking.senate.gov/newsroom/…

Thanks to the quick thinking and compassion of these Mt. Pleasant police officers, Tamara Palmer has a second chance at life. Officers Aton and Schoonmaker are a shining example of what happens when the best wear the badge. #SCSweetTea scott.senate.gov/media-cente…

Americans are tired of Washington's excuses. Families are hurting, costs are up, and people are desperate. I want to create an economy that works FOR you, not against you.

Opportunity Zones brought hope to America’s hardest-hit neighborhoods. This is further proof that when entrepreneurs have the freedom to invest in our communities, everyone is better off.

After the code was announced last year, @SenatorTimScott joined GOP senators in sending a letter to @AmalgamatedBank, in which they blasted the bank for pressuring an international rules organization to impose the new rule. scott.senate.gov/media-cente…
.@SenatorTimScott: "I’m glad to see the payment networks are finally taking the steps necessary to right a political wrong. The banking system should never be used to track Americans engaging in their Second Amendment rights. I hope companies remember that they should be focused on their business goals and not on playing politics."

My heart goes out to the family of Brock Borton, a young South Carolinian suddenly fighting for his life. I stand with them in prayer for his speedy recovery. Through God, all things are possible.

There is a better way forward: trust the American people. They deserve to control their hard-earned money, not the government.

I am praying for a speedy recovery for my friend @LeaderMcConnell. I hope to see you back on the Senate floor soon.

Parental rights are under attack in the classroom. Great to see my PROTECT Kids Act, which combats indoctrination in schools, pass @EdWorkforceCmte today.
Under no circumstances should schools hide this information from parents. Sadly, this shows the need to pass the PROTECT Kids Act, which I introduced with @SenatorTimScott to ensure parents always have a seat at the table. foxnews.com/media/arizona-pr…

.@SenatorTimScott: "We have a spending crisis in this nation. The radical Left has convinced Joe Biden to go along with it hand in glove. We spend too much, we tax too much, and then they blame too much."
