Speaker Kevin McCarthy

My favorite painting is Washington Crossing the Delaware. I have a giant version of it in my office—to remind everyone who sees it that there is no obstacle Americans can't overcome if we row together in the same direction. Here’s the amazing story behind the painting...

Since President Biden took office, enough fentanyl has been seized at the border to kill every American 23 times. A few months ago, that number was 13 times. The fact is, under President Biden, EVERY city is now a border city.

This is my fourth trip to the border in less than two years. What I heard today is what I’ve heard many times before—Biden’s border policies are destroying lives and making our communities less safe.

If we are not growing food in America, then we become more dependent on China, Mexico, and other nations for our food. We should not and must not be dependent on China—or frankly any other country—to feed our Nation.

The choice is clear: We can have reckless spending OR we can have responsibility. But we can’t have both.

Adam Schiff lied. - about Russian collusion - about Hunter Biden's laptop - about knowing a whistleblower Eric Swalwell had a relationship with a Chinese spy. They are disqualified from serving on the House Intelligence Committee.

They found classified documents from when Biden was a senator. I’m not even sure how that happens unless a Senator stuffs the documents in their pants or somewhere else.

Biden should sit down with me and we should eliminate where the government is wasting money. Let's put our country on a path to balance our budget—just like every state, city, and family in America.

Join me for a celebration of School Choice Week. House Republicans will fulfill our Commitment to America to expand school choice—so more than a million more students nationwide can receive the education that best matches their needs.

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 so that we can be fully accountable to We the People. Promises made. Promises kept.

Accountability is coming in 2023.

We are two days away from Christmas. The Christmas Season is the season of giving. But in Congress, it appears the season of giving will line the pockets of Democrat special interests and stick hard-working Americans with the tab. That’s what this omnibus does. Guess how many pages it is? 4,155 of pet projects, pork, and progressive priorities. Guess how much it costs? $2 trillion that we don’t have. Guess who wrote it? Two retiring Senators who won’t face accountability from voters again. Guess when it was made public? 2 am on the Tuesday before Christmas. This monstrosity is one of the most shameful acts I have ever seen in this body. The country is tired of it.

One month ago the American people voted for a new direction in Washington. It was their will that the current business-as-usual approach needs to stop. It’s obvious why. Inflation is higher today than it was 11 months ago when President Biden said it had “peaked.” Last month our deficit was nearly $250 billion – a record for the month of November. This was fueled by a 55 percent increase in our interest payments. Job losses are increasing and the labor force is shrinking. And yet – the Senate is writing a 1.7 trillion dollar spending bill in Chuck Schumer’s office without anyone knowing what’s in it, and expect us to pass it with no real debate The Democrat-led Senate is preparing to defy the will of the voters and grab as much taxpayer money as possible, with NO ACCOUNTABILITY. The House controls the power of the purse – and Republicans earned the majority because we are serious about getting spending under control. The same can’t be said about the Senate. The Senate passed ZERO appropriations bills out of their committee this year, and ZERO appropriations bills off the floor this year. That’s right: ZERO. They are 0 for 12. This is what Democrats stand for in 2022: more spending, higher inflation, and ZERO accountability. The fact that the Senate is even considering this last-minute omnibus is a slap in the face to every American. In addition to spending billions more that will make inflation worse, Democrats’ lame-duck omnibus would keep the southern border wide open, ignore the fentanyl crisis plaguing every American community, would do nothing to reverse Biden’s anti-energy agenda, and would allow the I.R.S. politicization and abuse to continue. This omnibus represents Biden’s radical agenda – exactly what the new House Republican majority will fight tooth-and-nail against if Republicans hold the line and wait 20 days. If any Senate Republican is looking for bipartisan cover in the House, they should not expect to get it. House Republicans refuse to support this bill and the dysfunction that brought us to this point. Taxpayers deserve accountability NOW. And with inflation at a 40 year high, we need to hit the brakes, not step on the gas. In 20 days, the House will be under new management and no longer will the Senate be allowed to neglect their basic governing duties and then try to negotiate something at the last minute. The House will not negotiate against itself next Congress. The current business-as-usual approach is over.

President Biden’s dangerous, destructive COVID vax mandate for the military is GONE. Service members who were wrongfully kicked out of our military for opting out of the vaccine must have a path to be reinstated.

Only one party says: - Only women should compete in women's sports - Police officers should be respected, not defunded - Gas prices should be lower, and we should make energy in America

Can you afford two more years of Democrat failures?
