BREAKING: I just introduced a bill to repeal the Senate’s last minute provision allowing Senators to sue American taxpayers over Biden DOJ investigations, past or future. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

The Senate cash grab that got snuck into the CR is a prime example of why so many Tennesseans distrust Washington. Read my op-ed in the @Tennessean here: https://t.co/VQiCVW0n3W

Rep. John Rose calls for transparency after a secret provision is slipped into a funding bill allowing eight senators sue the federal government.

I shared with @FoxNews how House Republicans learned about this last-minute “Arctic Frost” provision. I first discovered this corrupt provision Tuesday night, just hours before House Republicans would be given an ultimatum: reopen the government and give these Senators

$500,000.00 per incident for you, but NOTHING for the thousands of J6ers who lost everything? This is wrong.
I hope Republicans will not follow Senator Schiff’s lead and deny President Trump the ability to sue for damage done to him and his family by Jack Smith and his minions at the Biden Justice Department. My campaign spent $1.2 million defending me in Fulton County, GA at the Fani

It is critical that we find out who spearheaded this effort and failed to disclose it to House leadership. The Senate payday provision that got snuck into the government funding bill is the exact type of swampy Washington tactic that Tennesseans despise.

This is no time for "if", "and", or "but". Every Senate Republican needs to be on the record disavowing the bill they supported (and wrote) that blindsided the entire country. It's not okay (or Constitutional) to arrange your own taxpayer-funded payout.

Biden’s DOJ was corrupt, and I’ve demanded accountability for everyone spied on by our own government. But this Senate provision letting Senators cash in over $500,000 is also corrupt. Call your Senators now & demand they repeal this provision ASAP.

.@SpeakerJohnson has every right to be angry — so am I, and so are taxpayers in Tennessee and across America. Republican Senators secretly tucked in a clause to hand THEMSELVES up to $500,000 of your money for being targeted by Biden’s DOJ — without telling us. Half a million

Every Tennessean should be proud of @SenatorHagerty for doing the right thing. Will @MarshaBlackburn?
I am for accountability for Jack Smith and everyone complicit in this abuse of power. I do not want and I am not seeking damages for myself paid for with taxpayer dollars. Jack Smith targeted President Trump and his most ardent supporters, which includes me. Jack Smith and

God bless our troops. God bless our air traffic controllers. God bless our TSA agents. God bless every single hardworking American held hostage as political leverage by the Democrats. This national nightmare is finally over.

I am asking Senator @MarshaBlackburn to reconsider. Suing you, the taxpayer, for the politically-driven (and wrong) actions of the Biden DOJ doesn't fix anything. It only makes U.S. Senators richer. That's why I've filed a bill to immediately undo this money grab that somehow

A provision in the funding package passed Monday night would allow senators to sue the federal government if their data is obtained without notifying them.

The American taxpayer has suffered enough because of the last administration. It is shameful to ask them to shoulder the burden of paying U.S. Senators at least HALF A MILLION dollars because the FBI went rogue under Joe Biden.

Look, @ChipRoy is spot on. Sneaking in a provision to let Senators profit from an investigation into January 6 is outrageous. That's especially true in light of the fact that J6 defendants were not only targeted by Biden’s DOJ, but thrown in prison and live with that every

Two wrongs don't make a right. The Senate snuck a poison pill into the government funding bill allowing them to sue taxpayers for $500,000+ each. This is exactly why Americans despise Washington. Yes, Biden’s DOJ targeting Republicans over January 6 was wrong. But that doesn’t

Even CNN said, in a rare honest moment, the quiet part out loud: “The DEMOCRAT filibuster has been broken.” They're right, for once. The mainstream media carried water for Democrats for 41 days, but Americans won’t forget who voted 14 TIMES not to pay our troops, air traffic

On September 19, the @HouseGOP passed a clean CR, a measure Chuck Schumer had supported 13 times before. Democrats rejected it. On October 16, Senate Republicans offered a deal guaranteeing a vote on ACA subsidies in exchange for reopening the government. Democrats rejected

Turner & Sons Nursey in Smithville has taken part in the H-2A program since the 90s. The program provided reliable help when they needed it most. Yet, this year, because of the Democrat-led shut down, their help will likely be delayed by more than a month. That doesn’t just hurt

This shutdown was completely unnecessary and hurt countless Tennessee families. I'm glad to see a few Senate Democrats finally found the courage to reopen the government. Now House Republicans need to get back to Washington and hold the line.
