Congressman Josh Brecheen

Tune into my recent conversation with @creed_brody! It’s always inspiring to speak with young people from eastern Oklahoma!

.@FDRLST: "Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is a co-sponsor of the Expedited Transparency Act. Roy previously introduced a bill that would give Congress access to Treasury Payment System transactions exceeding $25,000. Proponents say the Expedited Transparency Act would build on the previous work." Rep. Roy is proud to lead with @RepBrecheen & @RepJimmyPanetta on this important legislation so that taxpayers can finally get timely accounting of how their tax dollars are being spent. thefederalist.com/2026/03/18/bil…

Grateful to @RepChipRoy for co-leading the Expedited Transparency Act with us!

All five of our service academy nominees have now received their appointments! Congratulations to you all!

Today, the House voted on @RepAndyBiggsAZ’s Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. This legislation, which I cosponsor, would prohibit Congress from annually spending more than it has, on average, collected in revenues over the previous three years. Sadly, while this is a commonsense Amendment, there was not enough support behind this legislation for it to pass. Despite our nation heading toward financial ruin, the current Makeup of Congress is one where seriousness regarding our fiscal trajectory is not where it needs to be.

It is an honor to introduce the Expedited Transparency Act, which will update late-Senator Coburn’s Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act to require that all disbursements of federal taxpayer dollars be viewable on USASpending.gov within three days. This means that whenever appropriated monies are spent, the agencies will be required to make this disbursement public within three days. Currently, it takes weeks for these disbursements to be made public, furthering the divide between taxpayers and transparency. It is essential that we require rapid transparency, as the longer the delay between disbursement and reporting, the harder it is to demand accountability. Agencies will always seek ways to hide their spending, as evidenced by the major discrepancy in agency reporting: some report in a matter of weeks, some in six months, and some not at all. There must be transparency and accountability, not excuses and delays!! By introducing the Expedited Transparency Act, we are advancing the transparency initiative Dr. Coburn championed with the original measure. I want to thank John Hart, CEO of Open the Books, for allowing us to work on this initiative with him. John was the Communications Director for Dr. Coburn when this initiative was originally passed.

Thank you, @AlexEpstein! Your help during reconciliation was ABSOLUTELY critical to our success! It is amazing news that the US has since tripled its development schedule for dependable fossil fuel generation now that wind and solar subsidies will fully phase out for new projects by 2027.

May the Lord bring comfort to the families of those serving in our armed forces who have paid the ultimate price in service to our nation. Prayers for the family and friends of OSU grad, US Air Force Major Alex Klinner, who was killed last week.

There are very real and deadly consequences for giving CDLs to illegal aliens.

May the Lord grant Susie Wiles great strength and full health.

I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass the @HouseGOP bill to reopen @DHSgov and fund @TSA.

Dr. Tom Coburn was a man of truth.

Thank you, @RepMichaelCloud, for leading on this important issue. It is critical that a Central Bank Digital Currency is never created.

Great speaking with @SecDuffy about highway trust funds and finding a payfor for Reconciliation 2.0!

Congratulations, Academy appointees! Thank you for your service!

There is no excuse for states failing to screen non-domiciled CDL recipients properly. According to @USDOT audits: - 1 in 5 non-domiciled CDLs in Illinois failed to meet federal standards; - over 17,000 non-domiciled CDLs were illegally issued in California; and, - over 50% of non-domiciled CDLs issued in New York violated federal law.
