Federal regulators took their eyes off the ball, focusing on progressive priorities, like climate change policy, instead of their mission: ensuring that Americans’ banks are safe and stable.

If regulators knew since 2021 Silicon Valley Bank had problems, why didn't they take appropriate steps to prevent #SVB's collapse? As @BankingGOP Ranking Member, I'll get to the bottom of why our regulators were asleep at the wheel.

The warning signs were flashing for over a year. Regulators chose to ignore the signals and must be held accountable.

President Biden’s reckless spending led to the highest inflation in 40 years. SVB failed to manage its risk from the Fed’s interest rate hikes. The Fed failed to manage SVB. The American people deserve better.

I enjoyed chatting with our great interns in DC today. Their hard work helps keep our office going!

A quality education is the closest thing to magic in America.

The recent bank collapses were a failure in three parts. Failure of bank management, failure of regulators, and the failure of the Biden admin to rein in spending and control inflation.

I’m thankful for the service of our Vietnam vets, including my dad who, like so many, didn’t receive the homecoming they deserved. Their unwavering bravery epitomize the American spirit. On Vietnam War Vets Day, we express our gratitude and honor their contribution to our nation.

HBCUs do vital work in educating our students. A quality education makes access to the American Dream possible, and these institutions deserve our continued support.

It was great to catch up with folks from South Carolina for #PalmettoWednesdays!

Enjoyed hosting over 80 HBCU presidents and chancellors on Capitol Hill for my 7th Annual HBCU Fly-in! HBCUs are instrumental in shaping our next generation of leaders.

Silicon Valley Bank executives, @SecYellen, and the Fed chair, were all absent at today’s @BankingGOP hearing. Americans deserve answers and accountability.

Over 70,000 families lost loved ones to fentanyl in 2021. This is about more than numbers—our broken homes deserve a commitment to ending this crisis, and it starts by securing the border.

Two South Carolinians were recently killed by Mexican cartels. We must take border security and the fentanyl crisis that fuels cartel violence seriously. All we’re asking is for the Biden administration to do the same.

China doesn’t want to be like America – it wants to BEAT America. We must wake up to China’s threats against the US so America can remain a shining city on the hill, an example for the whole world to follow.

Stealing our intellectual property, breaching our airspace, and spying on Americans are just a few ways China has put our country at risk. We cannot afford to ignore the significant threat the Chinese Communist Party poses.

Folks across our state are grateful to South Carolina’s ranchers and farmers. We depend on you to keep us going!#NationalAgWeek
