On Thursday morning, House Republicans delivered on our promise to the American people by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping legislative package that delivers on President Trump's agenda.

This bold legislation delivers real results for the American people:

✅Delivers resources to secure the border

✅Unleashes American energy independence

✅Strengthens and sustains Medicaid for the most vulnerable Americans

✅Increases the Child Tax Credit

✅Provides permanent tax relief for families and small businesses

✅Ends taxes on tips or overtime

We're cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, while putting the American people first. Now, the Senate must quickly send this bill to President Trump’s desk to stop the largest tax hike in our nation’s history.

See how the Big Beautiful Bill protects Wisconsinites from devastating tax increases:

On Tuesday, my Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services joined Congressman Eric Burlison's (R-MO) Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs to investigate the true impact of President Biden's so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on American energy and healthcare.

We took a hard look at how the Biden administration weaponized the IRA to raise taxes, push extreme Green New Deal policies, and increase Medicare premiums for seniors. Instead of reducing inflation, the law has wasted billions of taxpayers' dollars and funneled money toward radical climate priorities, while ignoring the waste, fraud, and abuse in its funding streams.

Following the hearing, House Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes long-overdue reforms to the IRA. Our bill ends $500 billion in Biden-era tax breaks and special interest giveaways to wealthy corporations and China.

During the hearing, I questioned Dr. William McBride, Chief Economist at the Tax Foundation, about who is really benefitting from IRA subsidies and who is getting hurt: 

Subcommittee Chairman Grothman: “Could you describe who’s largely getting the benefits of these tax credits in the so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’? Who’s paying the price here? Who’s paying the price and getting their taxes reduced, Dr. McBride?” 

Dr. McBride: “…You look around, you know, ‘Who’s buying solar panels?’ Who’s buying electric vehicles?’ Those are high income people, and you can see that with your own eyes. The data and the studies support that. For that matter, a lot of the credits go to businesses.”  

… 

Subcommittee Chairman Grothman: “These energy subsidies are responsible for enormous costs. Overall, insofar as [they drive] up the cost. Who is going to pay the price for that? Is this another thing that’s kind of regressive tax on the average guy, or how would you describe who’s paying the price for this?” 

Mr. Lieberman: “There’s almost nothing in the Inflation Reduction Act that’s geared toward lowering energy prices, so energy prices will go up. One thing I would add, for example, is that there’s a lot of provisions in there geared toward the discouraged use of natural gas and making homes all electric. Well, natural gas is three times cheaper than electricity on a per unit energy basis, so it’s one example where climate policy is very much at odds with pro-consumer policy.”

This week was National Emergency Medical Services Week. We honored the brave first responders who show up to save lives and protect our communities every day.

To the EMS professionals in Wisconsin and nationwide, thank you for your courage and service.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to have met with the Alzheimer's Foundation of America this week to discuss the critical need for accessible caregiving and the profound impact of recent breakthrough treatments on patients and their families.

This week, I enjoyed meeting with the American Council of Engineering Companies of Wisconsin to explore strategies for strengthening the engineering profession and expanding in-state student retention through targeted advocacy and increasing opportunities for leadership development.

There’s nothing better than coming together as a community to support a worthy cause. Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Waubeka Fire Department Pancake Breakfast and speaking with the courageous first responders who put their lives on the line every day for Wisconsin's Sixth District.

I had a blast from the past last weekend at the Car Hop Fry & Old Car/Motorcycle Show in Brandon, Wisconsin! Thank you to the Senior High Youth Group of Bethel Church of Brandon for serving up nostalgia and a fantastic time in style!
