This week, I chaired a joint subcommittee roundtable titled, "The Working Families Tax Cuts Act in Practice: Rewarding Work, Not Washington," to examine how the law is affecting workers, families, and businesses across the country.

The idea behind this legislation is simple: Americans should be able to keep more of what they earn. After living through record-high inflation under the Biden Administration, we continue to face high costs for housing, groceries, childcare, and other necessities. It's important to remember that when inflation occurs, it is not a temporary price increase, we are still feeling the ramifications of massive, inflation-fueling government spending between 2021-2025. Studies have shown that across the board, prices rose 21.5% during President Biden's four years in office. That's why it was important to pass the Working Families Tax Cut Act to give American families some relief from these price increases, and that we evaluate whether these tax cuts are helping to keep more money in taxpayers' pockets.

Already, more than 53 million Americans have utilized at least one provision of the law during this filing year. Estimates show a typical family of four could see up to $10,900 in additional annual income through the bill's various tax provisions.

We also discussed how the law is encouraging business investment, supporting domestic manufacturing, and helping create jobs here in the United States. Congress has a responsibility not only to pass legislation, but to conduct oversight and determine whether it is producing the results promised to the American people.

As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services, I will continue working to ensure federal policies reward work, encourage economic growth, and help Wisconsin families keep more of their hard-earned money.

Recently, I participated in a hearing with the House Committee on Education and Workforce's Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development titled, "Building an AI-Ready America: Higher Education in the Age of AI." This was the seventh hearing in a series examining how artificial intelligence is shaping America's future.

During the hearing, I focused on how colleges and universities can better prepare students for a rapidly changing job market. As artificial intelligence becomes more common across industries, it is increasingly important that students graduate with practical experience and the skills employers are looking for. I questioned witnesses about the role internships, apprenticeships, and other work-based learning opportunities can play in helping students gain real-world experience before entering the workforce. I also raised concerns about the barriers that may prevent some students from accessing these opportunities.

I also explored how educational institutions are using technology-focused internship programs to prepare students for careers in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and data analytics. While technological innovation can create new opportunities, I emphasized the importance of ensuring that human judgment, accountability, and oversight remain central as AI becomes more integrated into the workplace.

As Congress continues examining the impact of artificial intelligence, it is important that we understand both the opportunities and challenges these technologies present. We must ensure that students are prepared for the jobs of tomorrow while preserving the critical role people play in making decisions, solving problems, and driving innovation.

Monday was World Milk Day!

As one of the nation's leading milk-producing states, Wisconsin's dairy farmers play a critical role in feeding families and driving our economy.

We recognized the hard work and dedication of the men and women who make Wisconsin America's Dairyland. Thank you for all that you do! 🥛🐄

On Thursday, I celebrated National Cheese Day from Wisconsin's Sixth District, home of the Cheese Capital of the World!

As a proud Wisconsinite, I know what our dairy farmers bring to the table every day. Wisconsin produces the best cheese on Earth, likely in the entire universe, which supports thousands of jobs, and helps feed families across America.

I celebrated the hardworking farmers, cheesemakers, and dairy communities that make the Badger State America's Dairyland. 🧀

It was a pleasure to join manufacturers, innovators, and workers at Wisconsin Drives Manufacturing Summit in Green Bay.

Wisconsin has long been a manufacturing powerhouse, and the Working Families Tax Cut helps keep it that way by expanding key tax provisions that encourage investment, growth, and job creation here at home. When manufacturers can invest, Wisconsin workers benefit.
