The House just did our patriotic duty to deliver tax relief and uphold our values
This July 4, as Americans gather with friends and family to celebrate our independence, House Republicans are celebrating something in addition: progress. Real, tangible, patriotic progress. The passage of President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a return to American values, and it couldn't come at a better time. This legislation is about putting the American people and freedom first — freedom from high taxes, from bloated bureaucracy, and from a government that has stopped working for the people. It's about restoring the American Dream and giving every family the chance to build a better future. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a declaration that we still believe in the values that founded this country: self-reliance, personal responsibility, and limited government. We're putting the American worker first. We're saying loud and clear that the dignity of work still matters. It expands the Child Tax Credit, giving parents more flexibility and freedom to provide for their children. It extends the 2017 tax cuts, preventing what would be the largest tax hike in a generation. No American should be saddled with higher taxes, and the 'one big beautiful bill' gets it done. As families light fireworks and honor our independence, they will know that their government is finally on their side. Republicans are not just standing on the sidelines; we're leading with purpose. While Democrats focus on fringe agendas, Republicans are focused on kitchen table issues: taxes, work, and affordable living. Every provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is built to help families thrive. That's not just good policy, it's the right thing to do. It's a celebration of American resilience, entrepreneurship, and the spirit of self-determination. Every House Democrat voted against this bill. They rejected relief for working families. They rejected work requirements. They voted to allow illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer funded healthcare. They rejected common sense. And we will make sure each one of them has to answer for it. This bill is a reflection of our highest ideals. This is patriotism in action: standing up for families, fighting for opportunity, and refusing to let the American Dream die. We are proud of what we've accomplished, and we're not done yet. This July 4, House Republicans celebrate more than our history. We celebrate our future — a future built on freedom, responsibility, and prosperity for all. Richard Hudson represents North Carolina's 9th Congressional District and serves as the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Supreme Court to hear Republican challenge to campaign spending limits
The Supreme Court on Monday said it will hear a Republican challenge to limits on federal campaign spending in its next term, which will begin in October. Congress has capped the amount of money parties and campaign organizations can spend on advertising in direct coordination with the candidates, but the justices will hear arguments on whether those caps are legal. The case, NRSC v. Federal Elections Commission, centers on whether "coordinated party expenditure" limits are unconstitutional under the First Amendment. The court's decision in the campaign finance dispute could open the floodgates for coordinated spending into the 2026 midterms elections. National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Rep. Richard Hudson and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. Tim Scott celebrated the Supreme Court taking up the case. "The government should not restrict a party committee's support for its own candidates," they said. "These coordinated expenditure limits violate the First Amendment, and we appreciate the Court's decision to hear our case. Coordinated spending continues to be a critical part of winning campaigns, and the NRCC and NRSC will ensure we are in the strongest possible position to win in 2026 and beyond." Coordinated party expenditure limits for 2025 range from $127,200 to $3,946,100 for Senate races, depending on each state's voting age population. For House nominees in states with only one representative, the limit is $127,200; and for House nominees in all other states, the limit is $63,600. The Supreme Court on Monday added seven cases to its docket for next term, with more to be announced later this week. In another high-profile case, Cox Communications v. Sony Entertainment Group, the court will consider questions who bears responsibility for the illicit sharing of copyrighted music over the internet.

Renewed Calls To Quell Political Violence
On Saturday evening, thousands congregated in Washington D.C. to celebrate 250 years of the U.S. Army; this occurred amidst an escalated military conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. On Thursday night, Israel made a strike on the Iranian regime and its nuclear sites; continuing strikes between the two nations have followed. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-09) joined the Rundown to discuss attending the army parade and his concern for Americans' and politicians' safety. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed the 'Unleashing American Drone Dominance' executive order to enshrine American leadership in the development, commercialization, and export of drones. Drones can be used in all facets of life, and Michael Healander, founder and CEO of Airspace Link, joins to break down the executive order and share why drones are beneficial.

GOP Eyes Pharma Tax Hike, Nixing Drug Price Deal for Trump Bill
(Bloomberg) -- House Republicans are considering nixing a Medicaid drug pricing plan floated by President Donald Trump and fiercely opposed by the pharmaceutical industry as the party pushes to strike a massive tax and spending deal in the coming days. Is Trump's Plan to Reopen the Notorious Alcatraz Prison Realistic? Vail to Borrow Muni Debt to Ease Ski Resort Town Housing Crunch Iceland Plans for a More Volcanic Future As Trump Reshapes Housing Policy, Renters Face Rollback of Rights But drugmakers may not be totally off the hook. Lawmakers have separately discussed eliminating a tax deduction for pharmaceutical advertising, Representative Vern Buchanan, the chairman of the House tax committee's health subcommittee, said Thursday. It's unclear whether that provision will be in the final tax cut package. 'I know it's been brought up, so I don't know where it landed,' Buchanan said. Representative Richard Hudson of North Carolina, a senior Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, signaled Thursday that the drug pricing plan may be scrapped. The idea, first floated last week by the White House as a way to help pay for the president's tax cut plan, blindsided the pharmaceutical industry and has prompted a furious lobbying campaign. Drugmakers said it could cost them $1 trillion over the next decade. While lawmakers may be poised to reject Trump's drug pricing plan, the president is unlikely to abandon the concept entirely. During his first term, he pursued regulatory avenues to accomplish similar goals, and could do so again. Bringing foreign drug pricing into US government programs could hurt drugmakers' revenues. The potential elimination of the TV ad deduction, meanwhile, could get backing of some in the Trump administration. Pharmaceutical ads have come under special scrutiny as most other countries don't allow drugmakers to run television ads, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called to ban the television ads entirely. Currently, pharmaceutical companies can deduct advertising costs as expenses on their taxes, which is standard for other industries, too. Greg Murphy, another Republican member of the Ways & Means committee, introduced legislation to eliminate the pharma ad tax deduction last month. In announcing the legislation, Murphy said the television ads lead to 'inappropriate prescribing practices.'
