In 2000, the average family paid about $6,000 a year for health insurance.
Today, it is nearly $27,000.
That is not inflation. That is Obamacare.
Republicans cannot just oppose it. We have to replace it with something that actually works.
The average family health insurance policy now costs more than $28,000 a year.
Republicans have two months left to do something about it. My Great American Healthcare Act follows President Trump's call to GIVE THE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE, not the medical cartel.
GO. BIG.
We owe an incredible debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our nation.
It was a privilege to celebrate and honor so many of you at this year's Fishing Dreams in Southwest Missouri.
Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

🚨LIVE NOW: Freedom Caucus Unveils Plan to Strip Democrat Leverage xitter.twitterapi.xyz/i/broadcasts/2LPrrYejW…
Congratulations to @Jim_Jordan and the House Republican leadership team elected today.
Jim helped found the @freedomcaucus to challenge the Washington establishment and the concentration of power in congressional leadership.
The American people are tired of watching Washington fight harder to protect itself than it does to protect them. We have a responsibility to change that. I believe Jim understands the stakes, and I'm ready to fight alongside him.
Happy 251st birthday to the United States Marine Corps!
Since 1775, the U.S. Marine Corps has faithfully defended our nation against threats from across the globe. Every American owes them a debt of gratitude.
To all Marines, we thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
It's always an honor to spend the day at Fishing Dreams and recognize the men and women who have served our country.
Their service and sacrifice deserve our deepest gratitude, and I'm grateful for another opportunity to celebrate them in such a beautiful part of the Ozarks.

The Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, depicts the iconic flag raising at Iwo Jima in 1945 and honors Marines who have given their lives defending our nation since 1775.

The agenda of the Republican Party can no longer revolve around saving moderates who openly reject conservative policy.
Our party's new leaders need to put Americans first without compromise.
The Freedom Caucus championed bold ideas on healthcare reform, housing, and affordability.
Leadership met our appeals with blank stares and chose instead to cater to moderates unwilling to take the “difficult votes” needed to advance the America First Agenda.

Republicans have two months to deliver on the promises we made to the American people.
We have the tools to get it done, but it's going to take hard work and urgency to get it across the finish line.
We have 60 days to show the American people that Congress can still deliver.
Nobody wants to hear excuses. Let's get it done.
🚨BREAKING: House Freedom Caucus leadership just dropped a lame-duck roadmap for @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune.
Strip Democrat leverage. Deliver real wins. Do it before the clock runs out.
No leaving town until it’s done — let’s finish the job!

Congress overwhelmingly chose to "play it safe" instead of delivering on the mandate voters sent them to Washington to fulfill.
Leadership prioritized political calculations to save moderate seats rather than saving the country.
What good is a majority if you don't use it?
Week after week, Americans sent Congress the same message: Go big or go home.
There were multiple opportunities to meet that moment. Instead, leadership repeatedly chose moderation or failed to address the core issues facing the American people.
Republicans need to spend the next few months bulletproofing Congress from the DSA agenda before January.
Take away as many opportunities for them to attach garbage to must-pass legislation.
🚨STATEMENT FROM HFC CHAIRMAN ANDY HARRIS:
"House Republicans have only 20 legislative days left in this Congress to stop Democrats from weaponizing looming deadlines against the American people. We must finish the unfinished business now—before they take an axe to the conservative victories secured over the last two years, including ending taxpayer-funded welfare for illegal aliens, stopping the Green New Scam, and slashing waste, fraud, and abuse. Clear the decks now, in a fiscally responsible way, so we can lock in these conservative wins without unfinished business giving Democrats new leverage."

In Missouri, "our voters unfortunately doubled down on an amendment that enshrined abortion into the [state] constitution." @RepEricBurlison
"It's really tragic, but at the end of the day, you just have to trust that God is in control."
Playing it safe on major issues got House Republicans nowhere.
