Reining in the IRS

Dear Friend,  Over the past few years, the Internal Revenue Service has had serious failures in protecting taxpayer data. In 2022 alone, the IRS mishandled or leaked millions of taxpayer records. This record of abuse and impropriety should not be rewarded with increased fundi…

A Christmas Message

    Dear Friend,  For many of us, the holidays have come at a difficult time. After more than a year of the highest prices in decades, celebration is the last thing on some of our minds. After all, it’s difficult to get in the holiday spirit when the focus is paying for gas or gr…

Wrapping up the 117th Congress

Dear Friend,  This week, we’re almost to the finish line—the end of the 117th Congress. Before we leave Washington for the Christmas holiday, the House and Senate must address another deadline to fund the government before the end of the year. The Senate has released a behemo…

Our broken budget process

Dear Friend,  This week, we’re in Washington for another week of votes. The largest and most important matter on the docket is government funding. Negotiating the federal budget is among Congress’s most important responsibilities, and it is consistently disappointing when th…

Dear Friend,  It seems like the headlines are the same every December: Congress is locked in a last-minute funding battle right before Christmas. The funding deadline is imminent, and action is urgent. This isn’t a sane way to fund our government. Traditionally, this process …

Building guardrails against government waste

Dear Friend,  Unsurprisingly, the last vote in the House of Representatives before the election was another spending bill. This short-term government funding bill piled spending on top of our $30 trillion budget and did nothing to address our broken budget process. For that r…
