Introduced by Reps. Mike Flood (R-NE) and Wiley Nickel (D-NC), this bipartisan CRA would stop SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s latest attack on cryptocurrencies and the foundation of decentralized finance (DeFi).

Washington, D.C. – Following the Department of Justice’s confirmation that the Drug Enforcement Agency plans to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act to Schedule III, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks president, commented:It seems the Biden administration wants to have its edibles and eat them too.

Apr 15, 2024 | freedomworks.org | Eric Harrison |Phil Bell

In an attempt to push the Senate to move on the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks president, sent a letter and commented:“This session, the House has been broiled in a level of infighting and dysfunction not seen since Fleetwood Mac wrote and recorded the album Rumors. And yet, they found the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act important enough to pass 357 to 70.
FDA and Failure to Reduce Harm

Apr 10, 2024 | freedomworks.org | Eric Harrison |Phil Bell

If there are two things the bureaucracy does well, they are overreaching and just plain not getting the job done. Such is the case with the Federal Food and Drug Administration. Tomorrow, 11 April 2024, at 1 PM in 2154 Rayburn, the FDA will appear before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Hopefully, appropriate pressure will be applied to bring about a few changes in the bureaucracy.

The Administration’s Plan to Slash Medicare Advantage Is a Bad Idea

Feb 23, 2024 | freedomworks.org | Jason Pye |Adam Brandon |William Paul |Kilian Laverty

Traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage (also known as Medicare Part C) differ in a few important ways, but both could learn a thing or two from the lowly Cavendish banana and its cousin the Gros “Big Mike” Michel banana. Created as part of the Medicare Modernization and Prescription Drug Act of 2002, Medicare Advantage was a way to inject choice through private market forces into Medicare, which, to that point, had operated as an outright government-run, single-payer program.

Feb 22, 2024 | freedomworks.org | Jason Pye |Adam Brandon |Drew Stephens

The key takeaways are:The budget deficit is projected to exceed $1.5 trillion in FY 2024, or 5.3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).

Railroads were America’s first large-scale heavy industry. As happened with most industries, the government started by being helpful in the formation of railroads before quickly becoming antagonistic, and finally settling into a routine of intrusive regulations, occasional subsidies, and periodic political grandstanding. Marc Scribner of Reason described the latter when he said of the Railway Safety Act of 2023 (S.

Legislate Responsibly

Jan 31, 2024 | freedomworks.org | Phil Bell |Jason Pye |Drew Stephens |Jack Scheader

America was built on a foundation of heavy industry. Whether it is the blast furnaces where steel was made to give life to skyscrapers or the railroads which move the goods in our refrigerators, living rooms, and garages, these industries must be able to conduct their operations without the specter of arbitrary regulation. An example of arbitrary legislation comes in the form of S. 576, the Railway Safety Act of 2023, which was introduced by Ohio Sen.
