Currently a person's net worth determines whether the government allows that person to invest in startups. I support HR 2799 to change this. Americans deserve access to the same opportunities big banks have. I supported this bill in Rules Committee and on the floor last week.

Blows my mind that this is even an issue. The amounts of protectionism and nanny state laws in the land of the free is absurd.

The government needs to stop regulating how we spend our money

The goal is to have BlackRock own everything.

Good bill. Being a nanny and gatekeeper of investment options is not a legitimate role of FedGov.

@GarryOwen11B Young members of Congress don’t meet the definition of investors able to take early advantage of these opportunities, so they inside trade until they build their wealth.

Democrats just voted to shut the government down at midnight. If they were serious about avoiding a shutdown, they would have supported the House-passed funding bill or backed my Eliminate Shutdowns Act last night. There were two clear opportunities to keep the government open — Democrats rejected both. As I said in my floor speech last night, this shutdown was completely avoidable.

Currently, government stops Americans with less than $1M net worth or less than $200K in annual income from getting in at the ground floor of investments. We can change that by repealing the Accredited Investor Rule. We should make it easier for Americans to achieve prosperity.

James Comer says the House Ethics Committee will take over the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar after a massive spike in her net worth was flagged in financial disclosures: “We’ve been informed in the last few hours that the Ethics Committee is probably going to have to be the committee that takes up that investigation. So we’re going to be writing a letter in the morning referring this to the Ethics Committee. It’s a simple investigation. There are two companies listed on Omar’s husband’s financial disclosure form. One was worth between $1,000 and $5,000, and then the very next year it was worth between $1 million and $5 million. Another one was worth, I think, $25,000, and the next year it was worth between $5 million and $30 million.” What's your response to this......??👀 Do you firmly support this? A. Huge Yes B. No

The FBI just acknowledged that the federal government buys Americans' location data in its testimony to the Senate Select Subcommittee on Intelligence. This is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment and is why I introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act - to close the data broker loophole that allows intelligence agencies to buy Americans' private data.

#WATCH | Delhi: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says, "We used to say that we are world leaders. We used to say that we are peacemakers. Whether it's the war in Ukraine or the situation today, we should think about it." On the Transgender bill, she says, "I really think that it's unfortunate that they are not sending it to the standing committee. What the community feels is that this bill is going to obliterate their identity, and therefore it was very, very important that they should have been consulted and that this bill that is being brought about should have taken place or should have been passed after proper consultation. I think it's very unfair that the entire community feels like they have not been consulted, and such a big decision is being taken in their context. I wish the government had listened and put it on the standing committee."
