Senate Republicans

Updates from Senate Republicans and the Senate Republican Conference, led by @SenTomCotton.

[Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito]

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act holds potential data centers accountable my putting in federal law that they pay their own way – making certain costs are not passed onto American families through increased utility bills.

[Sen. John Barrasso @SenJohnBarrasso]

Even the NEW YORK TIMES is calling for permitting reform. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/DLZBDrxtFk

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

Senate Democrats are preparing to shut the government down for the third time in 13 months. 

Millions of American troops could go without pay over the holidays because Democrats think their paychecks are a bargaining chip.

[Coach Tommy Tuberville @SenTuberville]

Alabamians are paying the price for Washington’s bureaucracy.

It’s LONG past time we cut burdensome red tape and UNLEASH our energy potential.

[Senator Dave McCormick @SenMcCormickPA]

Democrats take power in 51 days. Until then, our job in the Senate is to confirm judges and pass critical legislative priorities like funding our defense and passing permitting reform while Republicans are in the majority.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Preserving the Electoral College protects liberty from one party installing a president and the tyranny that follows.

Opposition to this is simply fervor for easy, fast power grabs that silence the rest of the country.

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

Our current permitting system is bad for our economy and raises costs on Americans. 

An affordable America needs an efficient permitting process.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

Democrats wanted to stop crypto projects from sneaking traditional securities in through the back door. The Clarity Act’s network token and ancillary asset framework does exactly that.

Democrats voted against the bill anyway.

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

Senate Republicans have confirmed 57 judges to lifetime appointments on the federal bench. 

1 out of every 3 judges is now a Trump-nominated, lifetime appointee.

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

Senate Republicans have confirmed President Trump’s judges at the fastest pace since the Reagan administration. 

We will continue confirming every available judicial nominee as swiftly as possible.

[Shelley Moore Capito @SenCapito]

West Virginia economic leaders know the potential that the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act unlocks for our state.

BAAJA has the support of leaders that have invested in WV like Form Energy and Nucor, and important stakeholders like the Gas & Oil Association of West Virginia, West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, West Virginia Coal Association, and West Virginia Manufacturers Association.

We have the opportunity to make generational change across West Virginia and create good-paying jobs by passing this legislation.

[Senator Dave McCormick @SenMcCormickPA]

As the @WSJ warned last week, Democrats are already threatening a defense funding showdown when the CR expires.

With our munitions stockpiles dangerously depleted, we cannot afford to wait. We must pass Reconciliation 3.0 before Democrats take control.

HUGE win for the Lehigh Valley! I’m proud to work with @EliLillyandCo CEO Dave Ricks and our governor to help secure this $3.5 BILLION investment in Pennsylvania.

Thousands of new jobs are coming to the Lehigh Valley. This is how we build PA’s economic future!

[Senator Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott]

Recent reports raise serious concerns about our national security and the protection of sensitive U.S. technology.

I am requesting that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testify before the Senate Banking Committee.

The American people deserve answers.

[Senator Katie Boyd Britt @SenKatieBritt]

Grateful to Chairman @SenatorTimScott for calling this Banking Committee hearing.

American shareholders lost approximately $1.5 trillion in Nvidia value, almost the full GDP of Mexico, while serious personal misconduct and national security risks came to light.

Who knew what, and when? Putting profits ahead of national security and shareholder trust is unacceptable. Anyone who knew the risks and still profited must be held fully accountable.

The American people deserve honesty and aggressive oversight.

[Senator John Curtis @SenJohnCurtis]

Right now, $25 billion worth of Utah projects are stuck in the federal permitting process. Across the country, the problem is even greater. Getting the bipartisan permitting bill into law will help cut unnecessary delays and ensure important projects can move forward.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Thanks to @senatortimscott for demanding Jensen Huang and Secretary Lutnick testify before the Senate Banking Committee.

We need a full accounting of the facts and a clear view of any national security impacts.

[Senator Pete Ricketts @SenatorRicketts]

This is good leadership from @senatortimscott. I look forward to these hearings.

[Tim Sheehy @TimSheehyMT]

Good on Jeremy for accurately characterizing what happened in the Senate today.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

The American people deserve to know every single provision in the Clarity Act Democrats negotiated for, received agreement from Republicans on, and then refused to vote for. I’m going to continue to walk you through every single provision they wrote and then abandoned. This one’s on them.
