🚨 DOJ busts $14.6 BILLION in healthcare fraud—more than double the previous record. Russian scammers stole identities & drained Medicare, Medicaid & TRICARE. This is exactly why we’re cracking down on waste, fraud & abuse.

Honored to welcome FL-18 constituent Riley Williams to DC for the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony honoring the legendary WWII Rangers. His father, Newton Riley Williams Jr., served with D Company, 2nd Ranger Battalion, who famously scaled the cliffs of Normandy and survived.

Analysis from the nonpartisan @USCBO confirms what Democrats won’t admit: The OBBB doesn’t cut Medicaid, it protects it by ensuring benefits only go to those who are eligible. The American people deserve facts, not fearmongering.
The #OneBigBeautifulBill Act reins in waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid. CBO confirmed this week that those coming off Medicaid are already ineligible, have access to other health insurance, are illegal immigrants, or are able-bodied adults refusing to work.

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court just dealt a blow to nationwide injunctions. One unelected judge should not set national policy from the bench. This ruling restores constitutional balance—and limits judicial overreach.

PTSD tragically affects many of our nation’s heroes. I’m committed to ensuring veterans get the timely care they’ve earned, including access to innovative, life-saving treatments. We must end the stigma and fight for those who fought for us. ⬇️.

🚨BIG AG WIN: I’ve long opposed the Biden Admin’s H‑2A unionization rule and introduced a bill to block it. Now, the Trump @USDOL is suspending enforcement of this Biden-era overreach! A major win for Florida producers and American ag.

I was pleased to support the FY26 Agriculture Appropriations bill, which cleared the full committee this week. It improves food and drug safety, backs Florida agriculture and rural communities and clamps down on foreign land oversight – all while staying fiscally responsible!.
Farm forward!. The FY26 Agriculture Appropriations bill, led by Subcommittee Chairman @RepAndyHarrisMD, has been approved by the full committee. We are advancing America’s agricultural future and protecting the safety and security of our food and medicine supply chains.

USPS has increasingly used “temporary suspensions” to bypass closure reporting rules, leaving communities in the dark. Last week, @MarioDB and I introduced a new bill ensuring timely notice to local leaders and the public.👇.
