PASSED: Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.
 
This Farm Bill was not written in the halls of Congress, but in the fields and rural communities across our great nation. Every provision is a direct reflection of what we learned during each of the more than 150 listening e Committee held.
 
The 2026 Farm Bill is a win for our farmers, ranchers, foresters, rural communities, and all Americans across our country.

I was pleased that my legislation, the Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act, was included in H.R. 7892. It's time to get this critical legislation across the finish line and signed into law. Hardworking Americans have been forced to foot the bill for these bad actors for too long, but this legislation will protect taxpayer money and ensure deserving Americans have access to college classrooms.
Federal student aid should go to REAL students, not fraudsters.

Chairman @RepWalberg applauds @TheJusticeDept for cracking down on ghost student fraud.

House Republicans passed H.R. 7892, No Aid for Ghost Students Act, to combat this fraud and protect taxpayer dollars.

BREAKING: The DOJ is exposing a major student loan fraud scheme targeting Americans who never attended college, with stolen identities allegedly used to create fake students and obtain taxpayer-funded financial aid.

Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald says fraudsters are llege applications, submit coursework, and even create the appearance of students attending virtual classes, tricking schools into believing real people are enrolled.

"Some even create the appearance of a fake student in an online classroom to trick schools into believing a real person is present... The goal is to keep the ghost student in school for as long as possible."

Students deserve to feel safe and secure on their campus, and parents should never have to grapple with the unexpected loss of a child. Today I introduced a bipartisan resolution to honor the remarkable work led by Connie Clery, and strengthen the conversation around campus safety.

Today, we commemorate the senseless attacks of September 11, 2001. As we fly the Star-Spangled Banner and unite in remembrance of this tragedy, may we continue to honor the Americans who died that day and in the days that followed. I pray that God continues to protect the United States.

Last summer, updates in the Working Families Tax Cuts provided a long-term solution by bolstering the farm safety net. But until those provisions are fully implemented, American producers need short-term assistance.

Hear from House Agriculture Chairman @CongressmanGT on the farm eBudgetGOP's budget resolution⬇️
