.@RepDerekSchmidt is exactly right. Turning the Supreme Court into a political football undermines the Court's ability to perform its unique and critical constitutional function.

Democrats blame fuel costs for Spirit Airlines declaring bankruptcy. @RepDerekSchmidt explains that antitrust enforcers were aware jet fuel was the SAME PRICE in 2022 when the merger was proposed and rejected under the Biden-Harris Administration.

Unanimous. Bipartisan. Out of committee. Thanks to @RepDerekSchmidt and @RepHillaryS for moving the Main Street Competes Act through @HouseSmallBiz today. Two major pushes in less than a week since launch. @SteveScalise — next suspension calendar. #MainStreet

WATCH: @RepDerekSchmidt speaks in favor of the Main Street Competes Act, requiring the @DOJ and @FTC to report to Congress on how federal antitrust enforcement impacts small business competitiveness. Main Street is a critical player in our economy and MUST have a voice when decisions are being made that affect its ability to compete.

THE RESULTS ARE IN: More than 60 million taxpayers claimed at least one of the new tax relief provisions passed into law in the Big Beautiful Bill. Republicans are focused on making life more affordable for America’s hardworking families—and we’re not done yet.

Tonight, the first light of Hanukkah is especially poignant. As we grieve the victims of the antisemitic terror attack, we remember the message of Hanukkah: light triumphs over darkness. The story of resilience will not be extinguished. House Republicans are united in our commitment to defeat antisemitism. Chag Sameach!

Small businesses should be able to focus on growing their business, NOT complying with overburdensome regulations. MUST WATCH: @RepDerekSchmidt speaks in favor of the DUMP Red Tape Act, introduced by @RepTonyWied, which will give small businesses a hotline to report red tape.

Small businesses shouldn’t be weighed down by costly, duplicative regulations. They deserve a clear path to grow, hire, and compete. WATCH: @RepDerekSchmidt offer his support for @RepBethVanDuyne’s Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act.
