☀️More transparency for taxpayers is ALWAYS better!

Proud to have voted to advance my good friend @SenMullin out of committee! We need his leadership as @DHSgov Secretary.

🔦🐒 @SmallBizCmteGOP is shining the light on secret government spending. Taxpayers deserve to know how much they are spending on monkey mindreading. To create FULL transparency, my COST Act requires public price tags on all taxpayer-funded projects. More from @BretBaier and @RichEdsonDC 👇

.@SenMullin will work with anyone and everyone to find solutions. He is prepared to lead @DHSgov.

.@SenMullin will provide leadership at @DHSgov!

🚨Over $77 billion in Pentagon spending was unlawfully hidden from taxpayers! I’m shining a light so Americans can know how every single one of their hard-earned dollars is being spent.

I agree @JustinRGoodman! "What the COST Act does, it gives basic transparency to taxpayers all across the spectrum who have a right to know how their money is being spent.”

Without transparency there is no accountability. This Sunshine Week, I’m shining a light on Washington spending!

💰The government makes you account for every cent you earn — just to tax it. You deserve to know how your taxes are being spent! The Pentagon Inspector General agreed to investigate why my disclosure law is being ignored. Today, I also introduced the COST Act to put price tags on EVERY project paid for with your taxes.

🐙 The Navy sunk tax dollars into conducting octopus hypnosis, but you’ll put yourself in a trance trying to find the cost.

🧵🌞It’s Sunshine Week! Despite laws I’ve written to shine a light on wasteful Washington spending, taxpayers are still being kept in the dark. Like, how much is the Army is spending on monkey mind reading? 🐒

🚨 LIVE UPDATES: @SenJoniErnst warns DHS nominee @MarkwayneMullin that the partial government shutdown raises the risk of a 9/11-style attack. “Greater possibility of September 11 happening all over again,” Ernst said 👉 Follow for more LIVE UPDATES from the hearing washingtonexaminer.com/live-blog/mark…

🚨 @SenJoniErnst slams the Left for holding America's homeland security hostage at @SenMullin's confirmation hearing: "Why aren't we funding agencies that protect Americans as we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11?" Full remarks ⬇️

Protecting our homeland is more important than Democrats’ political DHS shutdown. @SenMullin agrees.

🌞Happy Sunshine Week, folks!   Today, I’m introducing the COST ACT to post the price on every single project the American public is footing the bill for.   You can’t stop what you can’t see.   This transparency will make sure the massive fraud that happened in Minnesota can never happen again. foxnews.com/politics/senat…

Bipartisanship might not be sexy, but we need more of it. My friend @SenMullin is someone who builds relationships and listens to others. That is one more reason why he will make a great @DHSgov Secretary.

.@SenJoniErnst on @SenMullin's nomination to Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security: "I know you will represent us very well... you will make our country safer."

🔦Tune in to @SmallBizCmteGOP TODAY! I will be shining a light on how taxpayers are being kept in the dark about Washington spending. sbc.senate.gov/public/index.c…

Rachel’s bravery and selflessness are something to be admired, and I am honored to call her a friend. Even in the midst of loss, grieving, and mourning, she never wavered in her commitment to bring her son and all our hostages home.

🍀Happy St Patty’s Day!
