I promised to make the legislative process more open and transparent. This week, for the first time in 7 years, we will have an open-amendment process on the House floor.
Promises made. Promises kept.
Tune in for my remarks to the press at 6:30pm ET: speaker.gov/live

Parents’ voices matter. No one is more equipped to decide what is best for children than their parents.

Under Dem control, House committees were used to target political opponents and reward allies at the expense of addressing the country's concerns.
That ends now.
These Republican members will work to shift power back to the American people through their respective committees.

As Speaker, I believe in empowering parents to choose the school that best fits their children's needs.
You deserve to have a voice in your child's education, and your child should have the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential.

Proud to reappoint @RepMichaelGuest to the Ethics Committee. As Chair, he will work to maintain standards and restore the integrity of this institution. He will put the mission of the People’s House above all else and will help deliver transparency to the American people.

I will never use impeachment for political purposes as the Democrats did. But I will definitely follow the truth and the facts wherever they lead.

Senator Manchin correctly pointed out that “we have to negotiate” on a responsible debt limit increase.
Families and businesses have to live within a budget — Washington must as well.
I look forward to sitting with President Biden at the table.

What do we get for Biden's two-year anniversary? 4.5 million illegal border crossings.
And that's just the ones they've counted.

Just incredible. This 97-year-old is an American hero. So thankful for his service as part of the Greatest Generation. bit.ly/3iYf2J9

🚨 Breaking → 251,487 illegal border crossings last month—that's the highest monthly total EVER recorded.
It’s no coincidence—Biden was sworn in 2 years ago today. His policies have opened our border to more illegal crossings, more terrorism suspects, and more deadly fentanyl.

President Biden: I accept your invitation to sit down and discuss a responsible debt ceiling increase to address irresponsible government spending.
I look forward to our meeting.

2 years ago today, President Biden was sworn in and immediately set America on the wrong path.
✖ Historic inflation
✖ Reckless spending
✖ Record drug overdoses
✖ Highest gas prices ever
✖ Worst border crisis in history
House Republicans are working to stop the madness.

I want to welcome everyone who has come to our nation’s Capital today to celebrate a special gift from God: the right to life.
Last week, we passed legislation providing medical care for babies born alive during abortions. You now have a Congress that is standing up for life.

I spoke with @RepGregSteube and his wife, Jen, this morning. He is in good spirits, and our entire conference prays for a swift recovery. I informed him he will serve on the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and he is eager to get back to work!

No more proxy voting. Effective immediately, Members of Congress have to show up to work if they want their vote to count.

House Republicans are on a mission to end wasteful Washington spending.
From now on, if a federal bureaucrat wants to spend it, they have to come before us to defend it.

If you gave your child a credit card and they kept hitting the limit, you wouldn't just keep increasing it. You would sit down with them to identify where they are overspending and where they can change their behavior.
It's time for the federal government to do the same thing.
