Standing up to Big Tech

  John, For decades, some of the biggest tech companies in the world have sought to control the app marketplace, to enrich themselves and squeeze out smaller competitors. That’s why I introduced a bill in the House that would prohibit companies like Apple and Google from acting …

An update on tax cuts for families

  Hi John, I wrote to you last month about tax cut payments for families and wanted to give an update. August payments are out the door, and many are already in bank accounts by now. Up to $300 per child per month is a transformational change, and something we only enjoy because …
