Speaker Kevin McCarthy

My great-grandfather—Jeremiah McCarthy—was born in Cork County, Ireland. In 1867, he settled in California, where he worked on a ranch and the railroad. Today, one of his great-grandkids is Speaker of the House. Only in America is my story possible.

The national debt is one of the greatest threats to America today. Now is the time to do something about it.

Since President Biden took office, enough fentanyl has been seized at the border to kill every American 23 times. A few months ago, that number was 13 times. The fact is, under President Biden, EVERY city is now a border city.

We are two days away from Christmas. The Christmas Season is the season of giving. But in Congress, it appears the season of giving will line the pockets of Democrat special interests and stick hard-working Americans with the tab. That’s what this omnibus does. Guess how many pages it is? 4,155 of pet projects, pork, and progressive priorities. Guess how much it costs? $2 trillion that we don’t have. Guess who wrote it? Two retiring Senators who won’t face accountability from voters again. Guess when it was made public? 2 am on the Tuesday before Christmas. This monstrosity is one of the most shameful acts I have ever seen in this body. The country is tired of it.

One month ago the American people voted for a new direction in Washington. It was their will that the current business-as-usual approach needs to stop. It’s obvious why. Inflation is higher today than it was 11 months ago when President Biden said it had “peaked.” Last month our deficit was nearly $250 billion – a record for the month of November. This was fueled by a 55 percent increase in our interest payments. Job losses are increasing and the labor force is shrinking. And yet – the Senate is writing a 1.7 trillion dollar spending bill in Chuck Schumer’s office without anyone knowing what’s in it, and expect us to pass it with no real debate The Democrat-led Senate is preparing to defy the will of the voters and grab as much taxpayer money as possible, with NO ACCOUNTABILITY. The House controls the power of the purse – and Republicans earned the majority because we are serious about getting spending under control. The same can’t be said about the Senate. The Senate passed ZERO appropriations bills out of their committee this year, and ZERO appropriations bills off the floor this year. That’s right: ZERO. They are 0 for 12. This is what Democrats stand for in 2022: more spending, higher inflation, and ZERO accountability. The fact that the Senate is even considering this last-minute omnibus is a slap in the face to every American. In addition to spending billions more that will make inflation worse, Democrats’ lame-duck omnibus would keep the southern border wide open, ignore the fentanyl crisis plaguing every American community, would do nothing to reverse Biden’s anti-energy agenda, and would allow the I.R.S. politicization and abuse to continue. This omnibus represents Biden’s radical agenda – exactly what the new House Republican majority will fight tooth-and-nail against if Republicans hold the line and wait 20 days. If any Senate Republican is looking for bipartisan cover in the House, they should not expect to get it. House Republicans refuse to support this bill and the dysfunction that brought us to this point. Taxpayers deserve accountability NOW. And with inflation at a 40 year high, we need to hit the brakes, not step on the gas. In 20 days, the House will be under new management and no longer will the Senate be allowed to neglect their basic governing duties and then try to negotiate something at the last minute. The House will not negotiate against itself next Congress. The current business-as-usual approach is over.

Can you afford two more years of Democrat failures?

Join Leader McCarthy and House Republicans at an American manufacturing company near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as they unveil the Commitment to America—a plan to get our nation back on track. Starting at 9:30am ET

Democrats are addicted to spending your money. Remember this day. When they jammed through a 700-page bill that raises your taxes and doubles the size of the IRS. 87 days from now, Democrats will have only themselves to blame...

Democrats would rather redefine a recession than restore a healthy economy. It's time for a new direction in Washington, DC.

The Chinese Communist Party is the greatest geopolitical threat facing America and our friends in the Indo-Pacific. Supporting Taiwan is right and is in America’s best interest. And if Ukraine teaches us anything, it's that deterrence comes BEFORE conflict.

President Biden's assault on oil and gas drilling through excess regulations and the cancellation of pipelines and planned lease sales is putting America’s economic and national security at risk. Tune in at 10:00 AM ET to hear the Republican plan to jumpstart domestic production and bring energy prices back down.

This great nation can now live up to its core principle that ALL are CREATED equal. Not BORN equal. CREATED equal.

As Democrats in Washington abuse their power to attack their political opponents, they are ignoring America’s crime crisis.

Speaker Pelosi’s Select Committee on January 6 is the most political and least legitimate committee in American history.

President Biden refuses to acknowledge the harm his open border policies have done in places like Ohio. Even worse—he offers no new federal help to fund more border patrol agents or lock up drug traffickers. Put simply: Biden is failing to keep Americans safe.

Join Leader McCarthy this morning at 11:00 AM ET for a live roundtable with members of the House Republican Conference and their guests where they will discuss the Democrats' regulations that stifle America's businesses and contribute to historic inflation, which continues to have detrimental impacts on both producers and consumers.
