State Rep. James Talarico: "Three dudes -- Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos -- now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined. They're not just buying yachts and jets. They're buying power. Our schools are being defunded and our healthcare premiums are about to go up because they want another tax break. It's time to limit their power."

Rep. Keith Self: "President Trump is exactly right. Congress CANNOT keep giving hard-earned taxpayer dollars to greedy, corrupt insurance companies. Let Biden's 'temporary' COVID-era subsidies EXPIRE!"

We must stay relentless in stopping deadly drugs from reaching our communities!"

Rep. Troy Nehls: "The FBI believed there wasn't enough probably cause to raid Mar-a-Lago-but the raid happened anyway. This is just more proof that the Biden Administration weaponized our nation's DOJ against President Trump. Those involved in this witch-hunt must be held accountable."
