Ending Non-Profit Sponsorships of Left-Wing Radicals

This week, I introduced the Stop Proxy Organizations Nurturing Subversive Operations and Riots (SPONSOR) Act, bicameral legislation that will prevent nonprofit organizations from funneling money to progressive, Left-wing organizations that intentionally agitate or seek to cause harm and destruction in our country.

This legislation closes loopholes that bad actors have exploited for too long, ensuring fiscal sponsors can’t simply look the other way while funding projects that undermine the law. Accountability is the foundation of public trust.

Modernizing the IRS

In the Working Families Tax Cuts, Republicans modernized the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to improve efficiency and services during the 2026 filing season. This week, IRS CEO Frank Bisignano discussed the meaningful progress the Trump Administration is executing to achieve agency modernization, including cutting the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) backlog from 1.5 million outstanding claims to just 29,000, while actively pursuing fraud recovery on the $283 billion program that the GAO found riddled with improper payments.

Additionally, my legislation, the Tax Court Improvement Act, helps these modernization efforts. It will streamline Tax Court procedures—providing additional rights for taxpayers, increasing internal accountability to improve the U.S. Tax Court system. The IRS continues to make progress to better serve taxpayers, aid in a successful filing season, and ensure Americans get money back in their pockets faster.

My Vote to Refer the Resolution to the Ethics Committee 

This week, a GOP member of the House—Nancy Mace—requested a vote on her privileged resolution—i.e. a resolution that had not gone through the normal committee process—that was intended to cause the public release of records related to sexual harassment allegations against Members of Congress. The House voted, 357-65, to refer that resolution to the Ethics Committee. And, I supported that procedural Motion to Refer. Here’s why:

Protecting victims of sexual harassment is critically important, as is transparency in government. But, the underlying resolution, as written, was deeply flawed, and would have worked against the stated goals. For example, the resolution would have required the public release of decades of sexual harassment allegations that had been fully investigated and found to lack merit. Releasing baseless accusations would cause serious harm to the falsely accused, and worse, could incentivize future bad-faith allegations where the mere accusation becomes a political weapon. This undermines the claims of those who have truly been harassed.

For those who used to listen to Rush Limbaugh, he often criticized the liberal tactic of making spurious allegations. Regarding these tactics and their impact, he often said that—to them—“It’s not the nature of the evidence; it’s the seriousness of the charge.” He was right: in politics, spurious accusations are often used to derail good individuals, regardless of whether the accusations are ever proven true or not. And, we do not want to incentivize this behavior.

Additionally, the resolution would have also mandated disclosure, in some instances, of draft reports and other interim investigative work product, not considering whether those investigations were still ongoing or not. Disclosure of such materials before an investigation is concluded is something every experienced investigative body will tell you actively undermines the integrity of an investigation and bringing justice to victims. This could easily chill victims and witnesses from coming forward at all or agreeing to participate in an investigation, knowing their sensitive disclosures could be made public before a case was resolved.

Again, transparency and accountability should always be something we pursue. But, despite its stated good intentions, the resolution offered by Ms. Mace would have, in my opinion, ultimately harmed victims and damaged the very investigative process designed to protect them. I believe this is why that—of the 123 female members of Congress—108 voted with me to support the Motion to Refer, and only 13 voted no on the Motion to Refer (with 2 others not voting).

For additional information and perspective, I encourage you to read the full statement from the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ethics. Additionally, my colleague from North Carolina, Pat Harrigan, posted a video explanation of his vote with thoughtful analysis of this issue. You can watch that video from Saturday, March 7 on his X account @RepPatHarrigan.

On March 5, 1979, NASA's Voyager 1 made its closest approach to Jupiter, passing within 280,000 to 349,000 km of the cloud tops. Launched on September 5, 1977, this flyby was a major milestone in the Voyager 1 mission, which continued to Saturn before heading into interstellar space and continues to collect data.
