I opposed John Kennedy’s idea to bring in so many Afghan nationals. I told Kennedy it was reckless and dangerous. Ultimately, Kennedy and Biden won, and our country was flooded with unvetted Afghan nationals. This video has the receipts.

We should not allow unchecked power in this or any other administration. It is our job in Congress to declare war or not, and we have for too long allowed administrations to wield a power they do not have. https://t.co/CtpD5BYUhE

Additionally, this legislation improves the treatment of health savings accounts so all Americans can obtain them, increases the tax-free maximum contribution by thousands of dollars, and expands what HSAs can be used to pay for, such as health insurance premiums and gym

With my plan, to provide the leverage needed to reduce the cost of premiums, nearly any conceivable membership entity, such as Costco or Amazon, would be empowered to collectively bargain on behalf of their members with health insurers to lower rates.

Minnesota’s corruption scandal didn’t happen in a vacuum. Congress allowed welfare exemptions for refugees from Somalia and Afghanistan, and the system was abused. Immigration should be individual, merit-based, tied to work, not automatic benefits. Afghanistan needed its future

Escalating military action in Venezuela without authorization cuts directly against President Trump’s America-First instinct to keep us out of unnecessary foreign entanglements. Everyone recognizes the devastation socialism brings but, it is not the role of the United States to

Since entering the Senate, I’ve warned that our refugee system is a dangerous weak point in U.S. immigration policy. Now, two National Guardsmen were ambushed in the nation’s capital—one killed—by an Afghan brought here under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome. This tragedy exposes

Branding individuals as “narco-terrorists” without proof just to open the door to lethal force is not a legitimate policy—it’s a dangerous fantasy. It bypasses due process, shreds constitutional limits, and pushes America toward another unnecessary foreign war. Our national

On @BloombergTV, I laid out my plan: HSAs for everyone, insurance across state lines, and giving Americans real bargaining power through Costco, Amazon, and Sam’s Club. President Trump and I have taken on this challenge before, and I’m ready to stand with him again to finally

AHPs and HRAs were important executive orders to make insurance more affordable, but they need to be enacted by Congress. In Indiana, we created an alternative product that cut Obamacare premiums roughly three times - but it can’t really be done correctly without federal fixes.

I continue to support the repeal of Obamacare and replacing it with true free market reforms, not just some rearranging of the current system. My Health Marketplace and Savings Accounts For All Act is the only truly conservative option. https://t.co/ZZn5mEbuoP

Legalizing cross-state health care buying co-ops and letting everyone have an HSA is the only truly conservative option.
