Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) released the following statement after President Trump’s State of the Union Address to Congress:

“I was honored to attend President Trump’s sixth State of the Union address, where he laid out a clear vision for America’s future and highlighted the wins his administration has achieved in just one year of his second term on reducing crime, strengthening immigration enforcement and drug interdiction, peace negotiations around the world, and affordability.

“President Trump also promised lower costs for prescription drugs and highlighted the success of reducing the taxpayer handouts to insurance companies, who are the primary beneficiary of Obamacare.

“Families across the country are seeing the results of policies that lower costs, create jobs, and restore accountability in Washington. Working families are keeping more of their hard-earned money, with Wisconsin families receiving average tax cuts of $3,177, a permanent $2,200 Child Tax Credit, and historically high refunds this year. Couple that with inflation dropping from 9% to 2.4% and mortgage rates falling to a three-year low, and we can objectively say that affordability is here and the American dream is alive and well.

“Our economy is growing, with 172,000 new private-sector jobs added in January alone, expanded incentives for American-made manufacturing, and strengthened support for small businesses that are the backbone of our communities.

“At the same time, our nation is safer and stronger. Border enforcement has been restored, catch-and-release ended, and federal overreach, including harmful DEI mandates and threats to women’s sports and parental rights, being rolled back. Taxpayer dollars are being focused on Americans who need them most, while wasteful spending on radical programs and international schemes has been cut.

“Also highlighted were some of America’s greatest heroes, from World War II veterans to the gold-medal-winning U.S. men and women’s hockey teams, as well as people who have suffered at the hands of illegal migrants.

“As the President highlighted, the welfare system in our country has become so out-of-control that fraud is rampant, criminals are not being held accountable, and Americans are being trapped in a cycle of dependency. That is why I was glad to see Vice President Vance put in charge of a new task force to tackle welfare and clean up the fraud in our bloated system.

“Two more statistics that I hope the mainstream media will report are the 67% reduction in murders in the District of Columbia and the decrease of 2.4 million people on food stamps.

“Tonight’s speech reinforced the results we are seeing and the direction this administration is taking. I look forward to continuing to work toward President Trump’s welfare agenda, cutting spending, using taxpayer dollars wisely, and delivering for Wisconsin families, and all Americans, in the months and years ahead.”

Bacon Issues Statement Following President Trump’s State of the Union Address

Washington – Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) released the following statement after President Trump delivered his State of the Union address:

“The President highlighted several real accomplishments that are strengthening our economy and improving the lives of the American people. The border is secure, violent crime is declining, fentanyl deaths are falling, gas prices are down, and wages are rising faster than inflation for the first time in five years. These are the winning issues that the President should focus on every day.

“He is right that Iran must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon. A nuclear-armed Iran is a serious threat to America and our allies. I am glad he acknowledged the regime’s brutality, including the recent massacre of approximately 50,000 of its own people after they stood up against their government.

“I was disappointed to hear the President double down on his approach to tariffs. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution gives tariff authority to Congress. The Supreme Court’s common-sense and straightforward ruling got it right. Broad-based tariffs are also not smart economic policy, functioning as a tax on American consumers, manufacturers, and farmers, and are unpopular nationwide by roughly two to one.”

Your right to remain silent: The Fifth Amendment protects your right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. You are not required to share any personal information such as your place of birth, immigration status or criminal history.

Always consult an attorney: You have a right to speak with an attorney. You do not have to sign anything or hand officials any documents without speaking to an attorney. Try to identify and consult one in advance.

Washington, DC – Tonight, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement:

“What we heard tonight were more lies from the most disgraceful president in our nation’s history. The truth is that one year in, Trump has broken virtually all the promises he made to the American people:

 

• Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1. Today is the 4th anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
• Trump promised that after his first year, he would have cut electricity prices in half. They’re soaring across the country.
• Trump said he would restore American manufacturing jobs, but manufacturing employment has steadily declined since ‘Liberation Day.’
• Trump said he was going to secure ‘better health care for less money.’ One year later, premiums have doubled, or even tripled, for some of my constituents.

 

Like last year, I limited myself to 5 of Trump’s bald-faced lies before I walked out of his speech. This year, I lasted less than one hour.”

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement tonight in response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address:

“I have never seen someone use so many words to say so little. In his State of the Union tonight, Trump offered Americans the same thing he always does: more disdain, more confrontation, more division, more disorder. What he didn’t offer was any solution to the problems that he promised to resolve in his first year in office. Indeed, he continues to make those problems – and Americans’ lives – worse.

“America has become even less affordable in the past year. Trump’s tariffs have raised costs on everything from groceries to clothing to other household essentials, taking an average of $2,000 dollars out of the pockets of working families in Maryland’s Fifth District annually. Nearly 19,800 people in my district will lose health coverage because of the Trump Administration’s cuts to Medicaid and its decision to end the tax credits for the Affordable Care Act. If that weren’t bad enough, Republicans’ so-called ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ gave millionaires and billionaires trillions of dollars in tax breaks, helping them get farther ahead by making working Americans fall farther behind.

“Abroad, Trump is making America into a pariah on the world stage. Instead of ending the war in Ukraine on his first day in office, he has prolonged it through his futile effort to appease Vladimir Putin. His saber rattling makes America less secure by alienating our allies and emboldening our adversaries.

“Tonight, we saw the ramblings of a president who is completely oblivious to the pain so many of our fellow citizens feel. Their approval of his handling of everything from the economy to immigration is cratering. They understand the perilous state of our union. Trump does not.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – After attending President Trump’s State of the Union address, Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08) released the following statement: 

“For nearly two hours tonight, President Trump lied about the state of the union and the economy. The reality is that many Washingtonians are struggling to make ends meet because of the reckless policies he and Republicans in Congress are pushing.

“In just one year, the Trump Administration has gutted our nation’s healthcare and skyrocketed costs on essential, everyday goods, making our country sicker and poorer. His reckless, illegal tariffs have squeezed families and decimated our family farms. And his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is actually a morally bankrupt piece of legislation that gives tax breaks to billionaires by slashing Medicaid and shuttering hospitals across rural America.

“Tonight made it clear that once again, Trump is out of touch and has not prioritized the concerns of millions of hardworking Americans. In every part of my district, I’ve heard directly from my constituents who have been impacted by this administration – from parents having trouble affording groceries and rural physicians worried that they’ll have to close down their practices, to farmers facing impossible margins. I will continue to stand against this administration’s attacks on our communities and will fight in Congress to meet the needs of the Eighth District and make life more affordable for my constituents.”

WASHINGTON, DC – Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (MO-06) released the following statement following President Trump’s State of the Union address: 

“Our nation is getting stronger by the day, thanks to President Trump’s leadership. When he took office, the border was out of control, inflation was skyrocketing, energy prices were crushing our families, and our military was demoralized. Now, working with President Trump, we’ve been able to secure the border, curbed inflation and cut taxes for working families. We’ve also unleashed American energy sources and rebuilt our military into the strongest fighting force in the world. The results speak for themselves, and I look forward to working with President Trump on our shared priorities, including the upcoming Highway Bill, the most significant of its kind since the creation of the federal highway system.”
