Rep. Chip Roy: "Inviting Big Brother into our cars is nonsense. Government-mandated 'kill switches' are a direct threat to personal freedom and privacy.Kill the Kill Switch."

State Rep. James Talarico: “Gas prices are surging because of this new war in Iran. I’m calling for a suspension of the federal gas tax — which would immediately drop the price of gas by 18 cents a gallon."

As one of the primary members pushing for the inclusion of a ban on CBDC, I supported the passage of FISA with the ban on a CBDC out of the House."

Rep. Christian D. Menefee: "I just filed my first bill in Congress: the Special Elections Timeliness Act, or the SET Act. It’s simple, common-sense, and long overdue. When a House seat becomes vacant, communities deserve their voice back quickly. Not months later."
