This is great news. Foreign countries impose government price controls on U.S. Rx drugs.
They pay less and Americans consequently have to pay more to fully fund next generation R&D cures.
The foreign freeloading price controls have to stop. It’s an unfair restraint of trade.

For years, foreign nations have benefited from American pharmaceutical R&D while refusing to pay their fair share.
@RepArrington, @RepNicole and I led 48 members of Congress to call on @USTradeRep and @howardlutnick to combat these harmful policies. buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/1…

Over the years, fraudsters have stolen TRILLIONS of taxpayers dollars thanks to bureaucratic negligence and policy inaction.
Proud to join @HouseGOP to pass three bills this week to strengthen fraud prevention and stop taxpayer dollars from being lost to waste, fraud and abuse.

Today, @HouseGOP ensured that ICE and Border Patrol have the resources they need to keep America safe.
Border security is national security, and we cannot allow these critical agencies to be held hostage by political games in Washington. 🇺🇸 buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/0…

The expanded senior deduction we got done in the Working Families Tax Cuts supports nearly 200,000 seniors in my district.
Thanks to @WaysandMeansGOP and @HouseGOP, our seniors can keep more of their Social Security and enjoy peace of mind.

The permanent 199A small business deduction in the Working Families Tax Cuts levels the playing field for small businesses across the country competing with major corporations.
As @SecScottBessent laid out, it allows small businesses to hire, invest and plan for their future.

Animal abuse is often one of the earliest indicators of domestic violence.
Proud to lead the AVERT Future Violence Act with @repdinatitus and @RepBrianFitz to study the connection between domestic abusers and animal violence.

The small businesses in my district tell me that permanent 100% bonus depreciation in the Working Families Tax Cuts is key to their business decisions.
Thank you @SecScottBessent for confirming before @WaysandMeansGOP that bonus depreciation is delivering for Main Street. 🇺🇸

Congratulations to Bradenton’s Nelly Korda on winning the U.S. Women's Open!
Last year, I had the chance to meet Nelly and it’s been exciting watching her represent our area.
Her success is inspiring the next generation and shining a spotlight on women’s golf. Well done, Nelly!

Animal fighting is a brutal and inhumane practice that has no place in America.
Proud to work with @RepTroyCarter to secure $2,000,000 to enforce animal welfare statutes and protect animals from cruelty in the FY27 Agriculture Appropriations bill. buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/0…

Full expensing for business investments is driving economic growth for small businesses across America.
@SecScottBessent, thank you for confirming that @HouseGOP’s Working Families Tax Cuts are putting Main Street first. 🇺🇸
Read our full discussion: buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/0…
Full expensing has been one of the biggest drivers of America's manufacturing comeback and Main Street growth.
By making it permanent, small businesses finally have the certainty they need to invest in new equipment, expand their operations, and create jobs for years to come.

Florida’s farmers and producers are still recovering from the devastating freeze that swept across our state earlier this year.
Proud to help introduce the Florida Freeze Disaster Assistance Act with @RepFranklin and @RepKatCammack to provide relief for our growers.
(1/2) This year's freeze devastated Florida ag, causing billions in losses across our state.
Today, I introduced the Florida Freeze Disaster Assistance Act with @RepKatCammack, @SenRickScott and @SenAshleyMoody, backed by nearly all of Florida's congressional delegation.
My legislation helps American producers recover from catastrophic losses, preserve domestic production and reduce dependence on foreign competitors.
