Ronald Reagan had it right when he said “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’ ”

This time, Border Patrol stopped these deadly drugs from slipping across the border. But too often, they pour undetected into our country. We need my Securing Our Border Act and state of the art technology to keep this poison out of our communities.

The American people know our economy is in dire straits. Despite the left’s attempts to distract us, prices are at historic highs, and real wages have failed to keep up. Excessive government spending caused this, and it must stop.

It’s unacceptable that key economic leaders refuse to pursue accountability for the massive Silicon Valley Bank failure. Today, I called on @federalreserve Chair Jerome Powell to make things right for the American people.

70,000 American lives were lost to fentanyl in 2021. That’s far too many lives tragically cut short.
With my FEND Off Fentanyl Act unanimously passing the Banking Committee, Congress is one step closer to taking action on this devastating crisis.

It was great to meet with @SCRLA today in my Washington office. South Carolina is home to a vibrant hospitality industry, and it was important to learn more about ways we can ensure future success as the state continues to grow.

When anti-science pandemic mandates shuttered our schools, they caused the biggest decline in math scores in 50 years. Our students deserve better; we must get our schools back on track.

I am calling on President Biden to immediately withdraw the nomination of Julie Su to be Secretary of Labor. The last thing we need is a radical activist leading the Labor Department.

My FEND Off Fentanyl Act unanimously advanced through the Banking Committee today. This landmark legislation would use sanctions to choke off the profits of Chinese suppliers and Mexican cartels that send deadly fentanyl across our border.

Russia’s arrest of Evan Gershkovich is an affront to journalistic freedom. I will not waver in my commitment to bring Evan—and other wrongfully detained Americans—back home and stand up for democratic principles.

Seeing higher prices at the grocery store? Thank President Biden. His policies just don’t work. I am fighting to put more money back into your pockets and lower costs for the American people.

Growing up with just enough to get by, I know how hard it can be to break the cycle of poverty. Financial education makes it easier for Americans like me to climb the economic ladder.

On #Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom for all. Our founders' brilliant framework created an unprecedented pathway for every American, no matter their race to enjoy life and liberty. 156 years ago started a new day in America as the last enslaved people claimed their rights.

It’s been 8 years since evil struck the praying members at Emanuel Church, taking 9 lives we will never forget. Through it all, Mother Emanuel stood as a powerful testament of how the American soul meets hatred with love, and violence with peace.

Congress opposed this rule because it is a clear federal overreach and it raises supply chain costs at a time when Americans are already suffering from higher prices.
The Biden admin is blatantly ignoring the struggles everyday Americans are facing.
