The One Big, Beautiful Bill is one big, beautiful win for the American people.
"...we have a chance to seize on a generational opportunity to help put more Americans back on the path to the American Dream."
Watch Chairman @RepWalberg's remarks from the House Floor earlier this morning in support of the One Big, Beautiful Bill ⤵️

I was proud to expand Workforce Pell Grant eligibility and increase educational pathways for the next generation.
We must continue to create even more opportunities for American workers to succeed.
For too long, PBMs have been able to hide behind complicated pricing schemes while hardworking Americans pay the price.
The @EdWorkforceCmte has been working to crack down on these shady practices, and today's announcement is another important step toward lowering prescription drug costs for American families.
Americans deserve lower prescription drug costs—not hidden fees and shady kickbacks.
Chairman @RepWalberg applauds @USDOL's new rule to shine a light on hidden PBM fees and help lower costs for American families.
Committee Republicans have also taken action, unanimously advancing @RepRickAllen's H.R. 7895, the PBM Kickback Prohibition Act, to crack down on PBM kickbacks.

Federal student aid should go to REAL students, not fraudsters.
Chairman @RepWalberg applauds @TheJusticeDept for cracking down on ghost student fraud.
House Republicans passed H.R. 7892, No Aid for Ghost Students Act, to combat this fraud and protect taxpayer dollars.

BREAKING: The DOJ is exposing a major student loan fraud scheme targeting Americans who never attended college, with stolen identities allegedly used to create fake students and obtain taxpayer-funded financial aid.
Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald says fraudsters are using AI to complete college applications, submit coursework, and even create the appearance of students attending virtual classes, tricking schools into believing real people are enrolled.
"Some even create the appearance of a fake student in an online classroom to trick schools into believing a real person is present... The goal is to keep the ghost student in school for as long as possible."
Every federal student aid dollar should go to a student pursuing an education, not to criminals exploiting the system.
Proud to usher the No Aid for Ghost Students Act through the @EdWorkforceCmte to strengthen oversight and stop fraud before it happens.
.@AAGMcDonald breaks down the results of Operation Ghostbusters—a @DOJ investigation into a large-scale federal student loan fraud scheme: "Today, we are announcing charges against five defendants and the seizure of more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency tied to this scheme and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals."
The APA's leaders have allowed antisemitism to fester and radical activists to turn a respected scientific institution into a platform for political agendas, while Jewish psychologists are ignored and ostracized.
The APA has a credibility problem, and its leadership has no one to blame but itself.
🚨 NEW REPORT: Antisemitism and political activism have compromised the American Psychological Association.
Committee Republicans’ report reveals how ideological bias has infiltrated the organization that shapes the future of psychology in America, raising serious questions about its credibility and commitment to scientific integrity.
The APA should be guided by science and evidence—not political agendas.

Chairman @RepWalberg applauded @usedgov's final rule to reform college accreditation and put student success FIRST.
For too long, accreditors have prioritized political agendas over student outcomes.
Committee Republicans are working to increase competition, cut red tape, and ensure colleges deliver real value for students and families.

It is important that American families do not bear the brunt of increased energy needs associated with data centers.
To protect Americans from these increased costs, I voted for, and the House passed, the Ratepayer Protection Act, which directs states to hold data centers accountable for covering the costs of their increased energy usage.
House Republicans are focused on delivering real results for Michigan families by:
✅ Securing a record $4.6 trillion in tax cuts
✅ Implementing no tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security
✅ Increasing the Child Tax Credit
✅ Cutting spending by a record $1.1 trillion
✅ Securing the border
✅ Combating inflation
Honored to recognize Harvey Lake of Jackson as the Veteran of the Month for October.
Harvey served in the Army and was stationed in Ludwigsburg, Germany, where he served with Company B, 34th Signal Battalion, VII Corps. Since his time in the military, Harvey has continued to exemplify service, hard work, and devotion to his community.
Thank you, Harvey, for your dedication to our nation.
While @HouseGOP has delivered more jobs and higher wages, the DSA's radical agenda would cost workers $22,000 less in take-home pay each year.
Hardworking Michigan families cannot afford the DSA's costly agenda.
If you come to America to scam taxpayers, you shouldn’t get to stay.
@HouseGOP passed the Deporting Fraudsters Act earlier this year to restore accountability and common sense.
I enjoyed touring Michigan Rebuild and Automation in Litchfield and seeing all they do to strengthen our supply chain.
I've been fighting to rebuild Made-in-Michigan manufacturing so that we can secure our supply chain, strengthen our economy, and provide good-paying jobs to Michigan workers.
Thanks to policies like the Working Families Tax Cuts, we're starting to see a manufacturing renaissance across the United States, driving tens of billions of dollars in new investment, creating thousands of good-paying jobs, and bringing manufacturing back home to Michigan.
On National First Responders Day, we thank all the brave men and women in MI-05 who put their lives on the line to protects ours.
Thank you for your selflessness, sacrifice, and dedication to serving our communities.
It was great to attend the Lenawee Chamber Business Expo and connect with the many outstanding businesses and service providers that help drive our local economy.
I remain committed to supporting policies that foster growth, reduce barriers, and help our businesses thrive.
As a member of the Great Lakes Task Force and the @NatResources Committee, I am dedicated to strengthening efforts to protect the Great Lakes.
I was proud to support the American Water Stewardship Act, which would reauthorize funding for several long-standing programs to maintain and improve water quality throughout the nation, including the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
The contrast is clear.
@HouseGOP secured the largest tax cut in American history.
Radical Democrats want to pursue an agenda that would raise your taxes and cost American families $355,000 each.
It's common sense: men do not belong in women’s sports.
I was proud to usher the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act through the House to strengthen Title IX's protections for women and ensure a safe and level playing field for female athletes.
It was great to meet Adrian College's president-elect, Dr. Tony Coumoundouros, and hear about his vision for the college.
I look forward to working with him to ensure that students learn the skills necessary to succeed.

The contrast is clear ⬇️
Republicans: delivered the MOST SECURE BORDER in HISTORY.
Extreme Radical Democrats: want to reopen border and allow criminal illegal aliens back into our country, costing American families their safety and $527 billion in taxpayer dollars over the next 10 years.
During the Biden-Harris administration, fentanyl poured into our communities at alarming rates, leaving families across the country devastated by the loss of loved ones.
@HouseGOP passed and @POTUS signed into law the HALT Fentanyl Act to provide law enforcement with the tools they need to keep Americans safe from these lethal substances.
