We will continue working to make the legislative branch more cost effective and efficient.

I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish as a Committee; however, our work is far from over.

I do want to--as I mentioned in my opening remarks, we all agree, again, foreign interests should have no say over the administration or outcome of American elections, that American elections--the decisions we make about our Government…

This year, one donor, one single donor, billionaire Elon Musk, spent at least $277 million of his own money backing Donald Trump and other Republican candidates.
