🚨🇺🇸 @POTUS just signed my bill, the Improving Social Security’s Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act, into law!
Americans recovering from identity theft deserve reliable and consistent support, not layers of federal red tape.
I am proud to deliver this commonsense reform
In the Working Families Tax Cuts, Republicans created Trump Accounts, which are a transformational investment for American families.
This investment will set the next generation up for greater financial success and a brighter future.
Yesterday, I joined @ToddStarnes on @Mighty990KWAM to talk about today’s @WaysandMeansGOP field hearing in West Tennessee.
The One Big Beautiful Bill gives businesses the tax relief and tools they need to hire, innovate, and succeed! 🇺🇸
