Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ushered in two significant wins for American taxpayers and students.

As we gather with family and friends for Independence Day, it’s hard to ignore that Americans across the country are still dealing with the reality of record-high prices. The American Farm Bureau Federation reported this week that prices for groceries are still significantly higher than two years ago. No thanks to record-high inflation and wasteful government spending, the cost of food for a July 4^th cookout this year will cost Americans 14% higher than in 2021.

This week marked one year since the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The ruling rectified its mistaken 1973 decision by reversing Roe v. Wade and sent the issue of abortion back to state legislators, where it belongs.

For far too long, the executive branch has abused its regulatory power  to advance its political agenda. In his first year as president, Biden finalized regulations adding over $200 billion in new regulatory costs – that’s more than 4x the costs added during President Obama’s first year. And then, in 2022, the Biden Administration proposed more than $2 trillion in new overreaching and burdensome regulations. According to a study by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, federal agency cost is $1.927 trillion annually. That’s nearly $15,000 per U.S.

When veterans who risked their lives in service to our country visit a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facility to receive the care, benefits, and services they earned, they should not have to face political ideations and influence before they even walk through the front door.
