This week the House passed the budget reconciliation bill, also known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill advances many of President Trump’s key agenda items and delivers major wins for the American people.

First and foremost, it protects families and small businesses from the largest tax hike in history and puts more money back into the pockets of seniors, parents, and workers. It also permanently secures the border, funds mass deportations, unleashes American energy, and makes key investments in our military while cutting red tape.

Wisconsin’s Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-CD 6) is working with a group of bi-partisan representatives from various states to pass the “Student Loan Marriage Penalty Elimination Act.” Currently, married couples receive a maximum tax deduction of $2,500 on student loan interest, while those who are unmarried can receive the same amount individually. The new act would remedy this unfair situation by ensuring that both husbands and wives can receive the maximum tax benefit if they are otherwise eligible.

By any reasonable measure, today's Democrat leaders have completely lost their grip on reality. Their hatred for Donald Trump has blinded them to basic principles of responsible governance—so much so that they’d rather defend waste, fraud, and abuse than support common-sense reforms just because Republicans proposed them.

Transparency, sustainability, accountability: these are the three things this bill delivers for the American people. Every SNAP dollar fraudulently spent is a dollar that does not go toward feeding a hungry child. That is why we are holding states accountable for their waste, fraud, abuse, and ensuring benefits are directed to the Americans who need them most.

On Tuesday, the Assembly passed a variety of bills with two of them passing with bipartisan support!

Assembly Bill 43 allows pharmacists to prescribe and dispense birth control, which protects life and lowers the rate of abortions. Currently, women can only obtain birth control through their physician. AB 43 helps simplify the process to make it easier for women to obtain common birth control, thus preventing unwanted pregnancies.
