On Thursday, the GOP Senate has successfully passed my resolution to stop California from trying to impose Green New Scam policies on the rest of America. Under the Biden regime, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hit heavy-duty highway and off-road vehicles and engines with expensive and ridiculous compliance costs estimated at upwards of $20,000 per truck. This regulation made it more difficult for small fleets and independent operators to invest in new equipment. I will never allow California’s costly and extreme Green New Deal agenda to bankrupt families and eliminate consumer choice for hundreds of millions of American families.
On Tuesday, I questioned Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on his agenda to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in his department. While the HHS budget skyrocketed by 38% in the last administration, America got nothing positive in return. Instead, our country has the worst chronic health crisis and the unhealthiest, sickest population on the globe. Only in American government do we think throwing money at the problem will eventually fix it. I applaud Secretary Kennedy's efforts to Make America Healthy Again at a fraction of the cost.

Normally we do a ‘Weekly Wrap Up’ on Friday, but we’re still hard at work in Washington today visiting with President Trump at the White House. We’ll be discussing MAGA priorities and updates from Oklahoma, but we’ll also be there for a more personal reason.
A family reached out to me on behalf of their child who is bravely battling cancer. This child’s Make-A-Wish dream is to receive a West Wing tour of the White House. When I told the President this, he insisted we all come to the White House and personally visit with him in the Oval Office. We have a president who doesn't just ‘love the people, love the call,’ we have someone who dedicates everything to this country.
