Congress never authorized OPT and my bill, HR 2315, terminates OPT once and for all. OPT completely undercuts American workers by giving employers a tax incentive to hire inexpensive, foreign labor under the guise of student training. It's time to end OPT.
My bill in Congress, HR 2315, ends OPT once and for all.
This Jan, I wrote to @NIH @NIHDirector_Jay with @SenJoniErnst w/concerns about the Rocky Mountain Lab’s bat research w/viruses like Ebola & its ties 2 Wuhan and EcoHealth Alliance. Unfortunately, he defended it. This explosive whistleblower report from my friends at @WhiteCoatWaste is more ammo 4 why Congress should cut all funding 4 all Fauci-era programs in the upcoming FY27 NIH spending bill, as I've proposed.
Fauci lied. People died. https://t.co/sbd0hmtJL9
Today, I questioned Sec. Burgum about my LASSO Act, legislation that strengthens Social Security while promoting responsible multiple-use of our public lands. The bill supports American energy dominance without expanding development or raising fees. I also thanked him for rescinding the Biden-era BLM rule that locked up millions of acres from public use. @NatResources Watch 👇👇📽️
ICE just uncovered nearly 10K foreign students tied to suspicious or fake employers through the OPT program. Further proof OPT has become a magnet for fraud and a backdoor replacement for American workers. My legislation, HR 2315, rescinds OPT entirely. America First means American jobs first. https://t.co/2fcoMQZ3Jg
Huge win for AZ. The Trump Admin overturned Biden’s radical “Conservation Rule,” a federal land grab that threatened grazing, mining, energy production, recreation & rural jobs. Public lands belong to the American people, not extremist environmentalists. https://t.co/RxHIyQOMoU

Agree, 100%. No Central Bank Digital Currency.
