Every 13.5 seconds, Washington borrows another $1 million.
The data says my three-year-old would need every dime he will ever make to pay for promises the federal government has already made.
Welcome to the morality of the modern Congress.

- I joined @SecDuffy and the I-11 Coalition to discuss Arizona’s interstate priorities. I-11 is a major project for Arizona, and we’re working to move it up the federal priority list while bringing better technology to the permitting process.

- Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and grandfathers across Arizona. I hope today brings you the gratitude, laughter and time with family you deserve.
- Arizona’s sober living fraudsters exploited Native Americans, drained taxpayers for $2.8 billion and left families searching for loved ones they still cannot find. Government should stop the check before it goes out, not chase the fraud after the money is gone.
00:00 - New York’s Medicaid home-care program went from $2.5B in 2019 to a projected $12B in 2025. Verify the care before Medicaid pays.Feds sue Hochul officials, claim massive fraud scheme in revamp of NY's $11B Medicaid homecare program trib.al/Z7rBpHJ
- The deficit is marginally lower than last year, but Washington is still borrowing too much and spending too much. Congress has to use Reconciliation 3.0 to get serious about waste and fraud. We have the data systems to stop bad checks before they go out the door.In May, the fed gov ran a deficit of $292.648B. From Oct25 to May26 deficits were $1.246T. This means 25.42% of outlays in FY26 were not paid for by revenues & for every $ the fed gov received in revenue, it spent $1.34. In May, net outlays = $628.161B & net receipts = $335.512B.
- Last Friday, I spoke at Airbus Day about Arizona’s role in America’s aerospace industry and the suppliers helping power its future.
- Minnesota’s SNAP fraud was sitting right in the data: the same Social Security number used over and over, no Social Security number at all, and more signups at one location than people living nearby. The checks still went out anyway. Absolutely outrageous.
00:00 - Each year, it is an honor to nominate students from Arizona’s 1st Congressional District seeking to attend a U.S. service academy. The application portal is now open for high school seniors. Deadline: Sept. 25, 2026. Apply: schweikert.house.gov/service-academ…
- Washington should at least understand what a trillion dollars means before borrowing and spending it.You may think you understand how big a trillion is. But you don’t. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4v5TolW
00:00 - Democrats love to argue that illegal immigrants pay into Social Security. Yes, some pay with fake Social Security numbers. That is a little money. But read the Social Security actuary report. The part they leave out is the suppression of wages from millions crossing the border
