State AGs should not be able to delay mergers that extend beyond their borders. Yet they’ve been doing that in droves since President Trump took office. The decision to challenge interstate mergers should rest solely with the @FTC and @TheJusticeDept, and my draft bill would clarify that. https://t.co/IOoEMRK35G
Yesterday, the Ratepayer Protection Act passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support, 417-3. I was proud to support this legislation because hardworking Americans should not be forced to pay higher electric bills to power massive data centers.
Data centers should pay for the electricity they use, period.
It’s extremely frustrating that Senate Democrats are now blocking a bill that passed the House with such a strong display of bipartisanship. Apparently, lowering electric bills for their constituents isn’t a priority for Senate Democrats.
WATCH: @RepFitzgerald on why the IMF needs to hold China accountable:
“The IMF is supposed to promote, obviously, global financial stability. But, it appears, kind of on a regular basis, China continues to use opaque lending practices; they manage the exchange rate, and they're certainly delaying debt restructuring, I guess you would call it, in developing countries.”

What an incredibly frightening experience. I’m so thankful Tom and the pilot made it back safely to their families. Truly a miracle. Keep up the fight, @TomTiffanyWI!
While returning home from the La Crosse County Lincoln Day Dinner tonight, the plane I was traveling in lost power as we approached the Wausau Downtown Airport. The pilot made an emergency water landing in Lake Wausau.
After landing, we called 911. As the plane began to submerge, we exited the aircraft and swam to a shallow area, where we waited until emergency responders reached us by boat.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the pilot, the Wausau Fire Department, and all of the first responders who came to our aid so quickly. They got us safely off the water and transported us to Aspirus Wausau Hospital, where we received excellent care. Thankfully, both the pilot and I sustained only minor injuries.
God was watching over us tonight, and I am incredibly grateful to be here in the hospital with my wife, Chris, by my side. An experience like this reminds you just how precious life is.
25 years ago today, America was forever changed.
We remember the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the Americans who came together in the days that followed.
Perhaps what makes 25 years feel so significant is the contrast. We have seen a dramatic shift in our country since that day, and in some corners, the patriotism, unity, and love of America that defined our nation in the aftermath of 9/11 can feel almost unrecognizable. Too often, patriotism itself is treated as something to be ashamed of rather than something to be proud of.
But that American spirit is not gone.
The vast majority of Americans still believe in this country, cherish our freedoms, and understand that America is worth fighting for. It is our responsibility to carry that spirit forward, defend the freedoms we have been given, and pass that love of country on to the next generation.
We will never forget the victims. We will never forget the heroism. We will never stop fighting for the freedom and ideals that make America worth defending. 🇺🇸
One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was tragically assassinated while exercising his right to speak freely and engage Americans in the political process.
His murder was a pivotal moment in our country’s history and an event that changed the political landscape of America forever.
Charlie inspired millions of Americans, especially young people, to get involved, speak boldly, and stand up for their beliefs. His impact will be felt for generations to come.
Charlie will never be forgotten, and my prayers remain with the Kirk family. 🇺🇸

Secure borders save lives. No debate necessary. The proof is in the numbers.
Yet, Democrats advocate for open borders. Can’t reason with insanity. https://t.co/owE7hC4F59
People should have the same core privacy protections online as they do offline. The bipartisan NDO Fairness Act passed by the House today, helps advance that goal by increasing transparency and judicial oversight for government requests for cloud-stored data, bringing important privacy protections into better alignment with the realities of modern technology.
@Microsoft has long supported these reforms as part of our commitment to protecting customers, strengthening privacy rights, and preserving trust in digital services. https://t.co/WT3JjXMyja

@RepFitzgerald's bill gives Americans the right to know when the government has taken their phone records by requiring courts to scrutinize secrecy orders, and limiting how long they can last.
🚨@GovEvers is wrong again. Canada has consistently been discriminating against Wisconsin dairy and failing to live up to the deals it agreed to. That is why I joined my colleagues in advocating for Canada to be held accountable to its trade commitments.
🚨@POTUS is rebuilding America’s shipbuilding industrial base and strengthening our maritime power.
This is a major win for our Navy, our national security, and Wisconsin’s shipbuilding industry. 🇺🇸
RESTORING AMERICA'S MARITIME DOMINANCE. 🇺🇸🚢
Today, President Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum to decisively usher in a new Maritime Golden Age, expand commercial shipbuilding capacity, build a resilient workforce, and revitalize a crucial industry.
Proud to lead my colleagues in urging the Trump Administration to investigate aluminum pricing for American manufacturers and consumers.
American aluminum shouldn’t be priced the same as imported products. Addressing this will support President Trump’s America First manufacturing agenda and help bring down the cost of food and beverages packaged in aluminum.

NEW: Chairmen @Jim_Jordan, @RepFitzgerald, @RepDarrellIssa, and @RepBaumgartner sent a letter to the Korea Media and Communications Commission raising concerns about their new amendment that targets American companies and online speech.
Similar to Europe's DSA legislation, South Korea is threatening American social media companies with massive fines and penalties if they don't comply with removing free speech its government disagrees with.
The Committee will always stand for free speech and protect Americans' rights at home and abroad.
