We have 54 days left in power. Congress needs to use every single one of them to deliver for the American people.
Ban congressional stock trading, something I’ve been pushing since 2020. Pass another reconciliation package to cut taxes, reform healthcare, and deliver real results for the American people.
We can get all of this done before January. The only thing standing in the way is whether Congress has the will to get it done.

Rep. Roy: "Jim Jordan's the right guy at the right time. Democrats are going to throw everything they have at the President, at this Administration, at Republicans. Jim's been there; he knows how to fight back rhetorically and legally."

Rep. Roy: "I don't think the impeachment angle on Pete Hegseth is appropriate.
If you have concerns about war powers, I don't believe that these are 'High Crimes and Misdemeanors' as the Constitution contemplates, and I think it undermines the entire credibility of impeachment and what we do as a constitutional basis when you're in fact fighting over separation of powers."
Go get ‘em, @Jim_Jordan. Republicans needs to lead as the party against, not part of corruption. As the party that stands up for hard-working Americans not the entrenched interests. Let’s go.
BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING: In 2020 - and every Congress since - I have introduced a ban on Congressional Stock Trading. We passed a reduced version of it this summer, but it was political. We should pass a clean ban - NOW. Corruption was a major issue. Republicans should not lose this issue…

.@RepChipRoy is correct.
The takeaway from the midterms should NOT be to moderate our views on immigration.
The American people still trust Republicans when it comes to immigration and secure borders.
Amnesty of any form would be a massive betrayal of this trust.
NO AMENSTY—EVER. DO NOT DO IT.
I’ve got a statutory term limits bill that would ban leadership positions and pay after 12 years in office… no constitutional amendment required…

Rep. Roy: "The American people do NOT want to see amnesty. They do NOT want to see open borders."
Republicans got killed by playing swamp games and this is their response? More closed door rushed swamp votes?
🚨 BREAKING: Republican Senators are about to take a SECRET BALLOT and possibly elect JOHN THUNE as the next Senate Minority Leader, despite a push to delay the race
This means we have no way of knowing every senator voted for Thune
Lawrence Jones' response is PURE TRUTH:
"After what happened on Tuesday, why would they think that what they're doing currently is ACCEPTABLE to the voters? I mean, you've got to have some self-assessment and figure out what went WRONG."
"And if the voters feel like you didn't deliver on the agenda and many of it died in the Senate, and you're gonna take that same leadership path, I think that's SUIC*DE RIGHT THERE!"
Should not have tried to hold the election today, barely ONE WEEK after the shellacking in the midterms
The focus should be Thune leading us to common sense legislation passage for 60 days straight!
I am hearing @HouseGOP members whining about Rules votes and wanting to see “accountability.” Talk about missing the plot.
Americans are frustrated at the GOP failure to take action to deliver for them. The rules is the forcing mechanism for minorities in the House to force action.
Examples:
- House Republicans were failing to pass codification of Trump border security. We held up a rule to demand we pass it AT LEAST out of Judiciary Committee. We succeeded.
- House Republicans were failing to pass a limit on a “Central Bank Digital Currency.” We forced action using rules.
- House Republicans were trying to move FISA surveillance re-auth without modifications to protect Americans (e.g. warrants). Some of us objected to force debate/change.
Most of all… only FOUR times did we have a rule defeated on the floor (by varying ideological coalitions), and in 3 of those cases, the rule then came up and was passed quickly.
Yet, these folks complaining about rules seem to ignore the number of discharge petitions signed by varying ideological factions… to force, often, a Democrat agenda.
Republicans should focus on delivering an agenda to empower and free up the American people, not whining about swamp games.
We have 53 days to pass a clean Stock Trading Ban, a reconciliation deal to cut taxes for working families, make healthcare affordable, and modernize our military, and to codify the President’s agenda.
Get busy doing.

🚨TAKE A LOOK🚨
The House Freedom Caucus letter to Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune urging them to use the remaining two months of the 119th Congress to lock in conservative priorities before the incoming majority can reverse them.
The letter calls for a reconciliation package covering defense modernization, expanded HSA tax relief and short-term health plans, codifying presidential border security policies and banning sanctuary cities, voter ID for federal elections and more.

🚨🚨🚨
This morning, a letter was released signed by 31 RNC members calling for a 30-day delay in leadership elections in the House and Senate Republican Conferences.
Since its release, four more members have signed on, bringing the total to 35 signers representing 22 states and two territories.
From our letter:
“Members deserve to understand what went wrong and hear how those seeking leadership intend to address those failures before casting their votes. That assessment should inform the choice of leadership. Holding elections first gets that backward.
“As members of the Republican National Committee, we have a responsibility to protect the Republican brand, uphold the principles our party stands for, and maintain the trust of the voters who put us here. That responsibility requires us to speak up when our party suffers losses of this magnitude and insist on an honest accounting of what went wrong. Our voters, volunteers, and donors deserve nothing less.”
Accountability must come before leadership elections.
Securing the border. Stopping the flow of fentanyl. Crushing the cartels. Reasserting American dominance in the Western Hemisphere. These are policies Texans and the American people overwhelmingly support.
The American people do not want open borders, and any talk of amnesty is a mistake.
We cannot back down, retreat, or apologize for getting these policies right.

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:
1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)
The last one is how government spending works.
Yes, we did. We should work every day for the next 54 days.
NO LEAVING TOWN: Freedom Caucus Tells GOP to Stay Put Until the Agenda Gets Done

Credit to Rep. Chip Roy for putting permitting reform on the list. I’m all for banning congressional stock trading, too, but getting energy projects built will help with bills people are struggling to pay every month. Kitchen table issues. Let’s get a bill across the finish line.
🚨BREAKING: House Freedom Caucus leadership just dropped a lame-duck roadmap for @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune.
Strip Democrat leverage. Deliver real wins. Do it before the clock runs out.
No leaving town until it’s done — let’s finish the job!
