Last week, Republicans in the House Oversight Committee held a hearing with two whistleblowers from the IRS who wanted to bring concerns to light without intimidation or tampering. These two individuals provided eye opening evidence on the preferential treatment given to Hunter Biden and the Biden family during their investigation. Americans are rightfully concerned about the two-tiered justice system that exists in our country.

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This legislation is crucial in ensuring our military is focused on being an effective fighting force. It includes the largest pay raise for service members in history and ensures our soldiers have the tools and resources to combat our adversaries on land, sea, air, and even space. Critically, this year’s NDAA is mission focused and free of social policies.

After having oversight of Oklahoma’s election board as a State Senator, I can say with certainty that Oklahoma has some of the best election processes in the entire country. Voting is safe, it is secure, and we receive the results on election night. The same cannot be said for other states in the country.

Our nation was founded on the principle of equal justice under the law, no matter the circumstances. Recently, however, we have seen what increasingly looks like a two-tiered justice system that favors those in power. This is especially true when it comes to the Biden family.

Last week, House Republicans passed legislation to fight against extreme executive overreach. In his first year, President Biden added more than $200 billion in new regulatory costs. These harmful regulations cost the American taxpayers over $2 trillion per year in compliance costs and economic losses. The legislative branch must take back their authority as a coequal branch of government and take a serious look at regulations from across the federal government.
