The United States is the world’s largest exporter of diesel fuel. Yet, our domestic stockpiles are at their lowest level in 30 years. It’s time we tell these oil companies to prioritize American consumers. My new legislation will do just that.

Today I am thinking about my good friend and former Sheriff of Knox County, Tom Spangler, who sadly passed this week. Please join Kelly and I as we pray for him and his family.
I promised to introduce legislation to address affordability and rising diesel prices. To read more about the bills, click the link below:
Let’s look at the timeline…
➟ We start an investigation and ask Mayor Bass to testify.
➟ She says she’s “unavailable.”
➟ She quits a few days later from the LAHSA governing commission.
➟ DOJ arrests people in LA relating to fraud with homeless services funds.
➟ LAHSA throws in the towel and decides they no longer want to receive federal funding.
This doesn’t end here. Mayor Karen Bass must testify.
Americans deserve accountability from everyone who looked the other way while their money went to fraudsters.

This is where your tax dollars are going, folks.
Always proud to stand with @timburchett and the DOGE subcommittee.
Billions in federal cash wasted. Tens of thousands still living on the streets of Los Angeles. Nonprofits cashing fat contracts.
Mayor Bass put herself on the board, skipped the meetings, then skipped Congress.
That’s failed Democrat policy

🚨 WATCH: Chairman @RepTimBurchett exposes the homelessness crisis in LA and Mayor Bass’s failure to appear before Congress.
“Mayor Bass seems intent on evading accountability. But she knows we will not let her off the hook.”
Americans deserve the truth.

Mayor Karen Bass stepped down from the LAHSA board right after we launched an investigation into its use of federal funds.
She’s also “unavailable” to testify tomorrow.
The hearing moves forward as @RepTimBurchett examines fraud and failures in homelessness services.

Today’s 9/11 Stair Climb Memorial was a reminder of the lives we lost and the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger. We will never forget.
25 years ago, our nation was under attack. Thousands of innocent men, women, and children were killed at the hands of terrorism.
Countless lives were also saved by brave first responders and ordinary Americans who were helping their neighbors. Today, we remember their courage and sacrifice.
Please join me in praying for the families of those who lost their lives.

East Tennessee grows a little bit of everything. I enjoyed visiting Rainbow Roots Floral in Maryville to learn about the cut flower business and hear from local growers about the issues they’re facing.

This is obviously a political stunt to run out the clock before Mayor Bass's election. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to get answers.
I’m deeply honored to receive the Friend of the Family Award from @FaithandFreedom for defending religious liberty and protecting family values. Thank you for the recognition and for the chance to speak with y’all about the important work that still lies ahead.

🚨 TIM BURCHETT TAKES AIM AT THE BIRTH TOURISM “LOOPHOLE”
@RepTimBurchett argues people are exploiting U.S. birthright citizenship by traveling here specifically to give birth — and warns the consequences could extend to America’s national labs and research institutions.
His warning: China could ultimately exploit America’s own system to its advantage.

They’re not coming for vacation. They’re coming for citizenship. Broke down birth tourism with @willcain
I am honored to receive the Champion of Limited Government Award from the Institute of Legislative Analysis. I will continue my fight to shrink the size of government, slash bureaucracy, and cut harmful red tape.

Six months ago, we broke ground on Hero’s Hill. This week, we cut the ribbon on houses that will serve veterans in our community who need some help getting back on their feet. Thank you to Mayor Jacobs for making this important project become a reality.
