Senate GOP Policy

Such a privilege to host the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympics Men’s Hockey Team today during our weekly @SenateGOP Policy Lunch.

Happy to host the @VP at our weekly Senate GOP policy lunch. 🇺🇸

Hi! @SenCapito, here. I’m the new Chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee. By working together in Congress and with the Trump administration, I’m confident we will advance conservative policies that will better the lives of all Americans. 🇺🇸

‘Bidenomics’ means crushing inflation and painful choices for working families.

Thousands of federal employees making over $100,000 a year whose salaries are paid for by your tax $ are serial tax evaders. #AuditTheIRS tigta.gov/sites/default/…

It’s #TaxDay, America! Did you know the number of tax evaders on the government payroll is dramatically increasing, with 150,000 federal employees owing $1.5 billion in unpaid taxes? #AuditTheIRS tigta.gov/sites/default/…

WATCH: @SenJoniErnst took to the Senate floor today to speak about how President Biden's reckless student loan scheme will affect Iowans. "Why should countless Americans who made responsible financial planning decisions be forced to take on the debts of others?"

🚨 PASSED 🚨 @SenCapito’s bipartisan resolution of disapproval to block Biden’s expansive #WOTUS rule was just approved by the full Senate. “We are sending a clear message that Congress, even a divided one, will defend working Americans in the face of executive overreach.”

🚨WIN:   Senate Republicans just protected our farmers, ranchers, and small businesses from more of Biden’s burdensome red-tape. #WOTUS

Senate Republicans are standing up to another regulatory overreach from the Biden Administration. President Biden’s new WOTUS rule heaps MORE regulation onto American farmers, ranchers, developers, and landowners.

Be sure to follow @SmallBizCmteGOP today for state-by-state impacts of President Biden’s overreaching #WOTUS rule ➡️ twitter.com/smallbizcmtego…

Biden’s new WOTUS rule would give bureaucrats huge new power over every piece of land that touches a pond, ditch, or puddle. A nightmare for farmers, ranchers, developers, and private citizens.

In 2022 alone, there was a record-high 2.3M+ illegal encounters at the Southern Border. We must take action now to secure our border. politico.com/news/2023/02/0…

Excited to continue serving Iowans on @SenateAgGOP, @SmallBizCmteGOP and @SASCGOP, alongside my role as chair of @SenateRPC! Fighting for our small businesses, farmers, and nat’l security are some of my top priorities in Congress. Let’s get to work!

Sen Ernst & I met to discuss her priorities as our new Republican Policy Cmte chair. We also discussed issues important to Iowans incl debt ceiling & farm bill

I’m honored to have been elected chairman of the @SenateRPC. I look forward to working with all of my Republican colleagues to craft commonsense, conservative policy on behalf of the American people! 🇺🇸

With home heating costs expected to rise this winter and squeeze budgets even tighter, the solution to help families is simple: end Democrats’ war on fossil fuels and unleash the production of American energy. rpc.senate.gov/policy-papers/…

President Biden and his administration have pursued a slew of actions that have driven energy inflation and threaten to send prices even higher, from canceling the Keystone XL pipeline and banning new oil and gas leases to pursuing even more massive, costly regulations.

In its “base case” scenario, EIA says prices will increase for all four of the main energy types used to heat American homes: 25% more for natural gas; 45% more for heating oil; 11% more for electricity; and 1% more for propane.

According to a recently-released outlook from the Energy Information Administration, American households will pay more this winter to heat their homes than they did last year.
