Someone call the Guinness Book, Biden has done it again!
December was the worst month on record in CBP HISTORY for illegal border crossings.
House Republicans are ready to tackle #BidensBorderCrisis and secure our border once again.

“No regrets” and “no there there.”
From his mishandling of classified documents, to 40-year high inflation, to the crisis on our southern border, time and again President Biden has refused to accept fault for his own actions and failed policies.
Oversight is coming.

Thanks to for featuring the quick thinking of my staffer, Darrell Woodie, last week. We wish Rep. Steube a speedy recovery.
“The phrase ‘right place, right time,’ comes to mind. All should give a huge thanks to Woodie for stepping in when he did.”

It's been 1,089 days since the COVID public health emergency was declared.
But despite declaring that "the pandemic is over," Biden just extended it yet AGAIN to justify massive spending bills.
We need to pass 's bill to finally end the public health “emergency.”

The average American family has lost $7,400 in annual income since Biden took office.
This administration's massive tax and spending agenda has created an economic nightmare for all Americans.

While delaying the new 1099-K IRS reporting requirement will provide much-needed relief for taxpayers and small businesses across the country, Congress needs to permanently repeal this onerous new tax mandate by passing ’s Saving Gig Economy Taxpayers Act.

The Democrats’ massive $1.7 TRILLION spending package increases overall spending by $134 billion – or 9 percent – compared to last year.
With inflation still raging at a 40-year high, this bloated bill chock-full of ridiculous Democrat priorities is the last thing America needs.

Five years ago today, Republicans delivered historic relief to families and small businesses across the country by passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the largest overhaul of our tax code in 30 years.
We can do it again by passing my bill, the TCJA Permanency Act.

Migrants lining up to enter the U.S. illegally as far as the eye can see.
Yet, the Biden administration still somehow maintains, “the border is secure.”
Oversight is coming.

The surge of migrants at our southern border is not only a humanitarian crisis, it’s an issue of national security.

Kicking thousands of our brave servicemen and women out of the military for refusing to get the COVID vaccine is a national disgrace.
Thank you to @GOPLeader for leading the charge and demanding an end to Biden’s shameful and downright disastrous Big Government mandate.

Inflation is still at a 40-year high and average hourly earnings declined 2.8% in Oct.
Meanwhile, more than 60% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck and over half of U.S. workers are considering taking on a second job just to stay afloat.
This is Joe Biden’s America.
