A strong workforce is essential to a strong economy. We’re proud to see initiatives like @Meta’s America Workforce Academy helping create new pathways into high-demand skilled trades careers. Programs like this are helping more Americans build the skills needed for long term success in the modern economy.
Jun 8
We’re launching America’s Workforce Academy (AWA): a nationwide, unprecedented fast-track to a long-term career in a skilled trade, powered by an initial $115 million first year investment. Including a large-scale skilled trades training program, there is zero cost to the trainees and guarantees a job offer through one of our contractor partners at a @meta data center site.

Giulia and I send our condolences to the loved ones of Barney Frank - a skilled legislator, sharp wit, and worthy adversary.
Chairman Frank and I had some lively and memorable disputes but we still found opportunities to work collaboratively together when possible. May his memory be a blessing.

Last year, the average Iowa senior lost $9,000 to scammers. Today? $44,000. That’s not bad luck — it’s organized crime targeting Iowans’ hard-earned money.
My GUARD Act just passed @financialcmte to give law enforcement the tools to fight back.

A great read from @pkcapitol on procedural shifts in the House of Representatives.

The disappearing norms have left leaders with fewer tools to run the Congress effectively.
These aren’t formal rules of House & Senate, but instead the unwritten guide rails of how to act.
“There are no rules anymore.”

Artemis II shows what America can do when government & industry work together.
Bringing a perspective from on-the-ground at the launch in Florida, the U.S. Chamber’s Benjamin Kron and John Neal break down why this space mission is a proving ground for a public-private partnership model that works: NASA leads design and integration while American industry builds and sustains the capability, creating jobs and growth nationwide.

The U.S. Chamber urges the U.S. House to remove or revise key provisions of the Senate's 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. As drafted, Section 901 would undermine efforts to address our housing supply & affordability crisis.

I have known John Leganski for a long time. He was a trusted adviser to me across multiple leadership offices in the House and had a front-row seat to some of the most consequential moments in recent congressional history.
I just finished his new book, Glory, Grief, and the Gavel, and can’t recommend it enough. It’s truly an inside look you won’t find anywhere else.

We were glad to partner with the Greater Burlington Partnership and @RepMMM to amplify the voices of Iowa small businesses. Pro-growth tax policy strengthens communities and fuels opportunity.
Great joining @USChamber, local leaders, and small business owners for a roundtable on the Working Families Tax Cuts and what it means for Iowa.
We discussed key provisions like the 20% small business deduction and reduced taxes on tips and overtime, pro-growth policies that will increase wages, support business expansion, and drive stronger economic activity across our state.

Iowa’s nearly 290,000 small businesses employ almost half our workforce.
Great roundtable discussion today with @IowaABI and @USChamber on what the Working Families Tax Cuts are delivering: $3,139 in average savings, 11% higher refunds, and the certainty Iowa businesses need to grow.

Today, Chairman @RepRWilliams and @HouseSmallBiz Members heard directly from small businesses about how the Working Families Tax Cuts are helping their business grow.
Thank you, @USChamber, for bringing Main Street to DC so that the Committee can have meaningful conversations about the impact of @POTUS’s pro-business policies.
