WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) introduced the Keep Food Local & Affordable Act to combat the recent rise in…
“The Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress have now begun to use the IRS and tax code to circumvent this common-sense policy under the guise of a ‘child tax credit. Passed through the American Rescue Plan Act, the Democrats boasted about the credit all year, declaring a victory for taxpaying families. What they failed to mention, however, is the program also gives direct cash payments to so-called ‘taxpayers’ who don’t file or pay taxes, including illegal immigrants.”
“It is a true honor to nominate 18 highly talented young Americans to attend our nation’s service academies. Our community would be lucky to have any of these students representing us in service of our country.”
“Red flag laws do nothing to prevent crime, and implementing them unconstitutionally strips law-abiding citizens of their firearms. I will never support any legislation that enables the government to trample on our Second Amendment rights.”
“My office is excited to announce that we are seeking interns for our Washington, D.C. office. One of my greatest honors in Congress is to provide opportunities for bright young students to learn and serve our country. I am looking forward to inviting a new class of interns to serve our district in Washington, D.C.”
“You’re saying, ‘well that’s an ongoing investigation and I don’t know about it.’ But clearly based on the pictures, clearly what has occurred, factually what’s been widely reported in all sorts of different American outlets that these individuals forced themselves into a building here in the Department of Interior, and you’re refusing right here today before the American people to say, ‘yes, that’s the same type of activity that I’m going to bring the full force of the Department of Justice to come against.’”
“Our nation’s veterans paid more than their fair share through their service to our nation and should no longer be subject to the burdensome administrative fees to visit military memorials or go on their own Honor Flights. Though we will never be able to fully repay these heroes, this legislation is a small step to properly honor their sacrifice, patriotism and bravery.”
“The Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan has given the Taliban control of one of the largest deposits of rare earth minerals in the world, which jeopardizes our national security. Banning the Taliban and China from profiting off of rare earth minerals is commonsense.”
“My constituents remain concerned about what they pay for prescription drugs, and while my Republican colleagues in Congress have proposed legislation tackling this issue directly and effectively, some policies under consideration – like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 3 – threaten to restrict patient access to medicines and cut off America’s pipeline of innovative research and development.”
“There is absolutely no excuse for giving our tax dollars to terrorist-controlled countries like Afghanistan. It is not in our financial or national security interests for us to fund our adversaries.”
“It was an honor to see so many young Americans interested in learning more about the Service Academy Process, and what our office can do to help. During my service, I met some of the bravest patriots our nation has ever seen. We would be lucky to have any of the attendees today represent our community in service to our country.”
“And as we sit here today, we still have citizens and SIVs stuck in Taliban hands, despite Biden promising to stay and get them all out. And thanks to you (Sec. Blinken), our enemy knows exactly who they are and how to find them, and you describe this, and I quote ‘an extraordinary effort.’ I would certainly not describe the deaths of 13 U.S. service members, the deaths of hundreds of Afghans, and the fact that we still have citizens and SIVs stuck behind enemy lines while the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS K go door to door hunting them down as an ‘extraordinary effort.’”
