A windfall profits tax would reduce the incentive to sell oil, it would ultimately hamper capital investments today into oil exploration and extraction projects. So, in effect, a tax on profits today will lead to less exploration, less drilling, and less oil in the future. ntu.org/publications/d…

Americans continue to face an affordability crisis. @StephenMoore explains how reducing tariffs on beef will benefit the domestic cattle industry and the tens of millions of people who buy beef at the butcher shop or the grocery store. @dcexaminer washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4574693…

Oil Windfall Tax Would Inflate Gas Prices, Discourage Investment @TND

After reaching a five-year low earlier this year, prices are now approaching a five-year high. Yet, rather than real solutions—such as permitting reform or further regulatory changes—some Democrats are once again pushing a policy idea that should have stayed buried decades ago: a “windfall profits” tax. Like every bad idea in Washington, this one refuses to die. ntu.org/publications/d…

Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration are working to rightsize outdated policies and provide businesses with the clarity and certainty needed to invest in advanced recycling technologies here at home. plasticsnews.com/opinion/perspe…

The Rail Safety Act delivers what collective bargaining alone could not: a federally guaranteed employment structure insulated from innovation.ntu.org/publications/d…

While the BUILD America 250 Act includes several constructive provisions aimed at streamlining project delivery and reducing certain regulatory burdens, it simultaneously preserves—and in some cases expands—costly mandates and inefficiencies that will continue to drive up the price of federally assisted infrastructure projects. ntu.org/publications/d…

The White House says China will meet its 2025 pledge to buy 25 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this year and for the next two years. This should be an easy goal to reach. With the exception of the trade war years of 2018–2019 and 2025, soybean exports to China topped that amount for every year since 2014. ielp.worldtradelaw.net/2026/05/guest-…

Coalition to @TransportGOP & @TransportDems : At a time when supply chains remain fragile and inflation continues to place significant strain on American families and businesses, Congress should reject policies that would increase transportation costs, disrupt freight rail operations, and discourage private-sector investment in critical infrastructure. @consumerpal @60PlusAssoc @AmericanFreedom @AmerComm @AEA @taxreformer Capitol Policy Analytics @CFEconomy @CFIFonline The Center for Transportation Advancement @ceidotorg @CASE_forAmerica @ConsumerChoiceC @DEPAUSA Families for America @iChooseLiberty @IPI @JobCreatorsUSA @momsforamerica @RioGrandeFndn @SBECouncil @southwestpolicy @Protectaxpayers ntu.org/publications/d…

Proud to be named one of only 47 House Members to earn the 2025 Taxpayers' Friend Award from @NTU! Washington needs a serious dose of fiscal sanity. I'll always fight to rein in reckless government spending and protect our taxpayer dollars.

Ordinary people often benefit when a data center comes to town. vox.com/politics/48875…

The House is right to drop provisions that add new mandates on the forced sale of rental homes after seven years. This would have reduced private sector housing investment and hurt families. Kudos to @RepFrenchHill for nixing such a misguided provision. ntu.org/publications/d…

The best way to increase housing affordability is to build more housing units. That means local level reforms to lower regulatory and tax burdens on developers so they can build faster without being strangled in red tape. ntu.org/publications/d…

The Medicare Payment Integrity Enhancement Act of 2026 will safeguard taxpayer dollars from improper payments and strengthen the solvency of a key entitlement program millions of seniors depend on. ntu.org/publications/d…

While still imperfect, the amended housing bill has been improved thanks to the removal of the Build-to-Rent language that the Senate passed. This provision would have raised costs while reducing home construction – counter to the legislation's goals. We urge this language to remain out of the bill. ntu.org/publications/d…

🚨BREAKING: TPA, @NTU, and 14 other groups are urging Congress to reject legislation that would dramatically expand FDIC deposit insurance coverage up to $5 million—a 2,000% increase over current limits. protectingtaxpayers.org/press/coalitio…
