Rand Paul

U.S. Senator for Kentucky | I fight for the Constitution, individual liberty and the freedoms that make this country great.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Do you agree with this statement? Those who came to the United States illegally should be ineligible for welfare benefits.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

How do we tackle our $40 trillion deficit? With my Six Penny Plan. We make even across-the-board cuts and eliminate six cents from every dollar the federal government spends. After five years, the budget would be balanced.

It can be done. Washington just has to have the willpower to do it.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

We have to be careful what we let the government do with AI regulation.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The free market should be determining interest rates, not the Federal Reserve.

We need to ensure that those who need help are American citizens, not people who came to this country illegally.

My End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act would cut off taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for those here unlawfully. My bill would put Americans first and remove incentives for illegal immigration.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

A dozen fraudsters stole a combined $10.6 million dollars from the American people by billing for daycare where no children were present.

@HSI_HQ and @WHFraudTF deserve major kudos for breaking up this fraud ring.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

Fraudsters FOILED in San Diego.

A dozen individuals were arrested for their role in a multi-million-dollar childcare fraud scheme.

The patriots @HSI_HQ are hard at work with our @WHFraudTF partners in stopping this flagrant theft of taxpayer dollars.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Great job, @FBIDirectorKash and team. Taxpayers thank you for helping root out waste, fraud, and abuse.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

Early this morning FBI agents and interagency partners conducted a raid taking down more alleged fraudsters.

These defendants are accused of diverting over $10 million in taxpayer funds for personal gain – stealing from a homeless support fund.

Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and our interagency partners, fraud no longer has a safe haven in America. This FBI will act to hold those responsible accountable for their fraud – and today’s arrests demonstrate our continued commitment to protecting every dollar of taxpayer resources and ensuring that public funds are used exactly as intended.

If Congress wants to get serious about our $40 trillion deficit, we would cut spending and balance the budget. My Six Penny Plan does just that. We would cut six cents from every $1 the federal government spends. In five years, we’d have a balanced budget.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

America should be a beacon for opportunity, not for free stuff. Churches and families sponsored newcomers for most of this country's history, and it worked. That is the model I want to return to.

75 million in taxpayer dollars were fraudulently funneled through the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. I’m glad to see @SecretaryTurner and the Trump administration cracking down on this type of fraud.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Happy Constitution Day!

Celebrate the day by reading the Constitution. After all, it’s shorter than most bills Washington passes. And unlike most bills passed around here, somebody actually read it before it became law.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

“I wouldn’t put Congress in charge of a McDonald’s.”

Sen. @RandPaul dismisses the idea of Congress regulating AI — especially when some lawmakers acknowledge they barely use the technology.

“They maybe shouldn’t be the same people who are running the Post Office, alright? The Post Office loses $9 billion a year," Paul said during an appearance on @AmericaRpts.

The exchange comes as Washington wrestles with how aggressively to regulate AI while lawmakers remain divided over the risks of moving too slowly versus imposing rules that could hinder American innovation.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Our national debt surpassed $40 trillion, yet very few in Washington are worried about addressing this crisis.

I put forth the Six Penny Plan to make even, across-the-board cuts so we can balance our budget in five years. All it takes is cutting six cents from every $1 the federal government spends.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

When Washington pays the bill and states police the spending, waste and fraud are inevitable.

Medicaid expansion is 90% federally funded. States have little skin in the game, but taxpayers still pay the price.

Put the responsibility back on the states: if you spend it, you police it. @WillCainShow

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Yes, we need economic growth, fewer taxes, and less regulation. I’m for all of it. But you cannot grow your way out of spending like a drunken sailor.

My Six Penny Plan cuts six cents of every dollar the federal government spends and balances the budget in five years.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

My belief has always been simple: the American dream is a job, not crossing the ocean just to sign up for welfare. @SchmittNYC

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) comes out in FULL SUPPORT of Donald Trump's DHS blocking immigrants who would use taxpayer-funded government welfare

"We have several hundred thousand SOMALIS in Minnesota, many of them came as refugees and about 85% percent of them that started on welfare are still on welfare!"

Multiple blue states and Mamdani have now SUED Trump for it. Slap down the lawsuit!

"It's not about coming here to join the welfare state. We actually have laws on the book that says if you come here legally you're not supposed to be eligible for a host of welfare programs for five years!"

"I would eliminate all welfare for refugees."

This is common sense. NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS to migrants. All that does is attract both "legal" and ILLEGAL foreigners to come here and siphon our tax dollars, many times through FRAUD!

@RandPaul @willcain

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Birthright citizenship belongs to the children of American citizens, not those who broke our immigration laws to come to the United States.

I introduced a Constitutional Amendment to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

I’m glad the Trump Administration is taking bold steps to extinguish the COVID-era fraud racket.

[SBA @SBAgov]

Today, SBA announced suspensions for 870,000 PPP and COVID EIDL borrowers tied to $39 billion in suspected fraud, in our biggest fraud action to date.

In total, the Trump SBA has now suspended about 1 million borrowers associated with $49 billion in suspected pandemic fraud across all 50 states and U.S. territories.

Also today, the agency announced “Operation No Doze” in partnership with @SBAOIG – a campaign that will send demand letters to suspected fraudsters across the nation, starting in Kansas and Missouri.

The agency has already referred $22 billion to Treasury – and will continue to partner with its federal counterparts across the Administration to both claw back stolen dollars and prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law.

You can't blame every price at the pump on Washington, but you can blame Washington for the outdated mandates that are piled on. That's exactly what my Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act aims to fix. We cut the red tape, expand fuel choice, and let American energy production do the rest.
