WASHINGTON, D.C., (March 11, 2025) – Today, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) released the following statement after voting in favor of a continuing resolution to fund the federal government through September 30, 2025.

“Since I’ve been here, this is the first time that actual cuts have been made and we have reduced the size of government,” said Rep. Burchett. “There’s $14 billion worth of cuts to non-defense discretionary spending, and it doesn’t touch Medicare or Medicaid. I voted to keep the government open so that President Trump, his cabinet, and my colleagues and I can continue down the path of limited government.”

WASHINGTON, D.C., (March 11, 2025) – Yesterday, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) introduced the Legislative Line Item Veto Act of 2025.

The Legislative Line Item Veto Act of 2025 amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to grant the President the authority to propose cancellations of specific discretionary budget amounts, direct spending items, or targeted tax benefits within 30 days of a bill’s enactment.

The legislation allows the President to temporarily withhold discretionary funds or suspend direct spending and tax benefits for up to 30 days, which can be extended by another 30 days with a supplemental message, while Congress reviews the proposals. It also includes safeguards to prevent duplicate cancellations and requires the Congressional Budget Office to estimate savings, while the Comptroller General monitors compliance.

“We’re just in too deep right now,” said Rep. Burchett. “President Trump needs every tool at his disposal so that we can begin to slowly dig ourselves out of this financial mess we’re in.”

Full text of the bill can be found here.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Mar. 6, 2025) – Today, U.S. Representative Tim Burchett (TN-02) introduced the Defense Against Drones Act (DADA).

The Defense Against Drones Act permits individuals to use a legally obtained shotgun to shoot down a drone if they reasonably believe it is flying at or below 200 feet above their property, in accordance with state law. While this legislation does not mandate that the individual who shoots down the drone return it to its owner, they are required to report the incident to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within 60 days if the drone’s registration number is identifiable.

WASHINGTON, D.C., (February 25, 2025) – Today, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.Con.Res.14, establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

“Everyone knows how I feel about our fiscal responsibility. This bill is where we start to right some of our wrongs. This budget resolution requires over a trillion dollars in mandatory savings over 10 years, and gives us a pathway to grow the economy by over two and a half trillion. President Trump and I spoke about our priorities which include securing our border, reducing the debt and inflation, cutting our spending, and leading with fiscal responsibility. He’s asked us to give him a starting point and I thought this was it.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., will hold a press conference Tuesday on H.R. 260, the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act. The Senate version of the legislation has been introduced by Sens. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., and Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn.

When: 3:15pm ET – Tuesday, February 25th, 2025

Where: House Triangle

“There’s been a lot of work done on this bill, and I couldn’t have raised the issue without the help of Shawn Ryan and Legend. It’s sickening, to be honest, and American taxpayers want this stamped out. This legislation has been sat on long enough. We need to move this through both chambers and get it to President Trump’s desk,” said Rep. Burchett. 

“I’m proud to fully support Representative Tim Burchett’s bill H.R. 260—the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act. This bill reflects the frustration of Americans tired of seeing their money fund groups like the Taliban. I found out about this criminal waste of our tax dollars by actually listening to people,” said Shawn Ryan. “As a veteran, I’ve witnessed the devastation these terrorists cause, and it’s unacceptable that our tax dollars could ever support them and their wickedness. Evidence shows millions of dollars have already reached these groups, but Representative Burchett’s fighting to stop it. He listens to the American people he represents, and this common-sense legislation proves it—no more funding our enemies. I urge Congress to back him and get this to President Trump’s desk. The people deserve action, and Tim is delivering.”

BACKGROUND: In December of 2023, Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02)introduced H.R. 6586, to oppose financial and material support from going to the Taliban. 

While working on H.R. 6586, it was brought to our attention that weekly cash shipments of around $40 million USD were being sent to the Afghanistan Central Bank. Additionally, after a hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in December of 2024, 

Secretary Blinken admitted that around $10 million had been paid to the Taliban in the form of taxes. H.R. 6586 passed unanimously through both the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House of Representatives. Unfortunately, then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer refused to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. 

H.R. 260 improves on H.R. 6586 and would: 

• Force the State Department to develop and implement a policy to oppose any foreign aid from going to the Taliban.
• Require a report on any cash assistance programs in Afghanistan and how the U.S. keeps the Taliban from accessing that.
• Require a report on the Afghan Fund and the Afghanistan Central Bank.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) issued the following statement regarding Trump’s Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education:

“Trump’s decision to dismantle the Department of Education is a direct attack on our children’s future. It is outrageous that this administration is willing to strip public schools of critical funding, harming students, teachers, and families all to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Providing quality education to every child , regardless of their background, is a fundamental human right. Federal funds help states and districts pay for teachers, mental health support, child nutrition programs, and critical early childhood education programs. Without funds from the Department of Education, Illinois school districts will face devastating cuts, leaving children without these essential resources. In my district alone, schools stand to lose almost $100 million in funds, jeopardizing the future of thousands of lives.

“Latino students will be particularly harmed, as they represent almost one in 3 students enrolled in public education nationwide, and in cities like Chicago they represent almost 50 percent of students.

“Cutting education is not just bad policy; it’s a deliberate choice to set our kids up for failure. We cannot allow these reckless attacks on our schools to go unchallenged. Our children’s future is at stake, and we must fight to protect their right to a quality public education.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) issued the following statement on the passing of Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva (AZ-07):

“My friendship with Raúl started long before I came to Congress. We both started our careers as community advocates and organizers. We shared a passion for justice and equality in our communities. We both came from working-class families, proud of our Mexican roots, and we both enjoyed a good laugh and a good mariachi. So it was just natural that we would become friends.

“During his two decades in Congress, Raúl worked tirelessly for Arizona and the country. Raúl wanted to ensure a cleaner, safer, and more just future for our children. As Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, he fought for strong environmental protections and authored The Environmental Justice for All Act to empower people to protect their communities. He was a staunch defender of tribal sovereignty and workers’ rights. I was honored when he encouraged me to join the Natural Resources Committee, where we worked together to help the people of Puerto Rico receive the long-promised assistance they needed after Hurricane Maria. 

“Raúl also believed that our country’s strength is rooted in our immigrant heritage and worked tirelessly to protect immigrant families and refugees. We worked together to improve our broken immigration system and hold both Democratic and Republican presidents accountable for their policies. Whether trying to pass the Dream and Promise Act, treating immigrants with dignity, or stopping the construction of an ineffective and environmentally damaging border wall, Raúl never gave up. 

“One of Raúl’s favorite songs was ‘El Rey,’ and in particular the line that says ‘no hay que llegar primero, pero hay que saber llegar’ —“it’s not only about getting there first, but about how you get there.” I think this phrase perfectly describes his tenacity in everything he did.

“Raúl was a loving father, husband, and a loyal friend. His kindness and dedication will be sorely missed in the halls of Congress. My thoughts are with his wife Ramona and his daughters Adelita, Raquel, and Marisa, as well as his staff in Washington and Arizona. Rest in power, amigo.”
