WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) called on Congress to pass the Build Now Act to address the cost of housing in America in a speech on the U.S. Senate floor.
Key excerpts of the speech are below:
“Well, what causes prices, specifically the cost of housing, to go up? Well, it’s when demand for housing is greater than the supply of housing. Duh. It’s not complicated.”
. . .
“So, what can we do about that? Short of us getting in the middle of the business of our cities and telling them what zoning laws should look like, here’s what we can do: We could use a carrot and a stick.
“Every year, we send between $2 billion and $3 billion to cities across America. . . . And the local governments, they love what we call community development block grant money—CDBG funds. You say CDBG to a person in local government, they’ll start salivating. They love this money like the devil loves sin. Why is that? Because it’s free money, and they have a lot of discretion. They, meaning our friends in local government, have a lot of discretion on how they spend it.”
. . .
“So, I came up with this idea, convinced Senator Elizabeth Warren to join me, and we drafted, and indeed passed, I’ll talk about that in a second, a bill called the Build Now Act. And it’s really very simple. It says, we’re not going to tell local governments how to increase housing starts. We’re just going to tell them if they do increase housing starts, we’re going to reward them with more CDBG money. If they don’t increase housing starts, we’re going to take some of their money away. Carrot, stick.”
. . .
“Mr. President, if you’re listening, please endorse this bill. To my friends in the House, please bring this bill up and vote for it. It will work. We’ve been jawboning and talking about, oh, you know, the cost of living. . . . This bill will lower the cost of housing in America, and it will do it under basic principles of free enterprise.”

WASHINGTON – The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), and Ron Wyden’s (D-Ore.)’s Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act, which would save hard-earned taxpayer money by curbing erroneous payments to individuals who have passed away. The bill now moves to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature.
“The fact that the federal government is sending checks to dead people—often to be cashed by fraudsters—makes me want to reach for the barf bucket. That’s why I wrote this bill to permanently stop this outrageous fraud from happening, and I’m thrilled to see Congress officially on board with this commonsense fix,” said Kennedy.
In 2020, Kennedy passed a bipartisan law, the Stopping Improper Payments to Deceased People Act, which put in place key provisions to stop erroneous government payments to deceased individuals for three years. Kennedy’s reform was expected to save at least $330 million from 2024 to 2026.
The new Kennedy-Peters-Wyden bill, which the U.S. Senate unanimously passed in September 2025,would make this temporary fix permanent.
“This bill will help save millions of taxpayer dollars by ensuring that the Social Security Administration can permanently share important data with the Treasury’s Do Not Pay system, preventing wrongful payments to deceased individuals. I have long supported this legislation because I believe it is a vital step in safeguarding taxpayer dollars and ensuring the integrity of our payment systems,” said Peters.
“This bipartisan bill fixes our federal government’s payment systems so that millions of taxpayer dollars are saved every year. As Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, I am committed to ensuring that Americans’ hard earned benefits are protected. That’s why I’m supporting this bill to ensure Americans’ personal data and earned benefits from Social Security are protected,” said Wyden.
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) led the U.S. House of Representatives companion bill to the Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act.
“This legislation will immediately save American taxpayers billions of dollars. It’s a simple fix to address government waste. As a fiscal conservative, I’m eager to see this bill, which reduces wasteful spending without expanding the size of the government, signed into law. I appreciate Senator Kennedy for his diligent work to get this joint effort to President Trump’s desk," said Higgins.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) also support the bill.
“Nothing is more wasteful than the federal government sending money to deceased people, and the American taxpayer will no longer foot the bill for the federal government’s mistakes. Republicans have prioritized eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, and this legislation builds upon the important reforms we delivered through the Working Families Tax Cuts,” said Johnson.
"It’s pretty simple: the government shouldn’t be sending taxpayer dollars to people who have passed away. Thanks to Sen. Kennedy’s Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act, the Treasury will put an end to this egregious use of federal dollars. This is another way Republicans are delivering on our promise to cut waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington. I’m thankful to my good friend from Louisiana for his leadership on this issue and am happy to see this critical legislation pass the House and head to the President’s desk,” said Scalise.
Kennedy’s original 2020 law saved taxpayer money by directing the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) to temporarily share its Death Master File—a record of deceased individuals—with the Treasury Department to avoid erroneous payments.
Kennedy’s new Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act would permanently allow the SSA to share the Death Master File with the Treasury Department’s Do Not Pay system. This change would rein in the government’s ability to make improper payments to deceased people in the future.
This bill would also allow the Treasury’s Do Not Pay system to compare death information from the SSA with personal information from other federal entities, and to share this information with any paying or administering agency authorized to use the Do Not Pay system.
Sens. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) also cosponsored the Senate bill.
“As stewards of our fellow taxpayers, we owe it to them to be sure their hard-earned dollars are well spent and NOT WASTED. Great to see the Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act, which permanently codifies coordination between the Department of Treasury and Social Security Administration to eliminate payments to dead people, has now passed both the House and the Senate and is headed to the President’s desk. A step in the right direction for ending waste, fraud and abuse running rampant in Washington,” said Moody.
“Our government has a responsibility to be a good steward of taxpayer dollars and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. I am glad that this bipartisan bill to update existing safeguards and better prevent unintentional payments to deceased people has passed the House, and I encourage President Trump to sign it into law immediately,” said Hassan.
“As Americans struggle to afford the cost of living, Congress should be doing everything in its power to save taxpayer dollars and protect government resources from fraud and abuse. I’m thrilled to see this legislation pass through the House of Representatives – the last step needed in order to send this to the President’s desk for his signature. I will continue working in a bipartisan manner to improve efficiency and ensure that our government is working for the American people,” said Warner.
Background:
Kennedy has long championed the cause of saving billions of dollars in taxpayer money by ending improper payments to deceased Americans:
- In December 2024, Kennedy urged his colleagues from the U.S. Senate floor to save taxpayer dollars by supporting the Ending Improper Payments to Deceased Americans Act.

Kennedy details how Energy and Water Development appropriations bill saves money, improves defense
Jan 13 2026
Watch Kennedy’s comments here.
WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) explained how the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Energy and Water Development conference appropriations bill will cut spending by 2.8% while still providing increased funding for defense and Corps of Engineers programs in a speech on the U.S. Senate floor.
Key excerpts of the speech are below.
“I just wanted to quickly highlight what we’re going to be voting on here in the next couple of days. The bill is $58 billion. That’s less than the current budget.
“I’m very proud of that. I said at the very beginning of this process that I was not going to approve a budget that did anything but spend less. We have done that. Nominally, it is a $27 million reduction. Non-nominally, which means, if you factor in inflation, it is a 2.8% reduction over the current Energy and Water bill. So, in the new fiscal year, fiscal year 2026, we will be spending 2.8% less than we are spending on the Energy and Water bill right now. I'm very proud of that.”
. . .
“We increased spending dramatically for defense. In fact, we’re spending $912 million extra on defense in the Energy and Water bill over the current budget, a 2.7% increase—even though overall the bill is 2.8% less.
“Well, obviously, we had to cut something. We did. We’re cutting non-defense spending, the non-defense portion of the bill, by 3.8%. We took a meat axe to the Green New Deal provisions in the current Energy and Water budget. Not everybody is happy about it. I get it, but we have already spent a lot, a lot of money on the Green New Deal, too much in my judgment. So, we reduced it in the new Energy and Water bill.”
. . .
“So, to sum up, the Energy and Water bill, vis-a-vis the current budget, cuts spending by 2.8%. We increased defense spending by 2.7%. We paid for that increase overall and accommodated the decrease in overall spending by cutting non-defense green energy 3.8%. We’ve increased spending for the Corps of Engineers dramatically by $1.7 billion. That's a 19% increase. And we have doubled the amount of money for the strategic petroleum reserve. And I’ll be happy, when the time comes, when we take up the bill, to answer questions.”
The U.S. House of Representatives has already passed the conference Energy and Water Development appropriations bill. The Senate is expected to vote on final passage of the bill later this week.

Kennedy calls for welfare reform to address Minnesota fraud: “Do another reconciliation bill”
Jan 08 2026
Watch Kennedy’s comments here.
WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) called on Senate leadership to do another reconciliation bill to address the widespread welfare fraud in Minnesota and elsewhere throughout the United States in a speech on the U.S. Senate floor.
Key excerpts of the speech are below:
“In our country, I’ve said this before, if you’re hungry, we’ll feed you. If you’re homeless, we’ll house you. If you’re too poor to be sick, we’ll pay for your doctor. Other countries let their fellow citizens die in a ditch. We don’t do that in America. The American people have stepped up to the plate.
“So, when people steal this money, this $1 trillion-plus a year that we spend helping our neighbors, when people steal that money, it offends me. When they steal from the poor, and they steal from the American taxpayer, it offends me equally. And the folks in Minnesota and elsewhere who stole this money, who took a giant whiz—a giant great Dane whiz—down the leg of every taxpayer and every poor person in America, every one of them ought to go to jail.”
. . .
“We’re spending a trillion dollars a year of American taxpayer money to help poor people, to provide welfare, and the GAO estimates that about at least $250 billion has been stolen every year. We took some baby steps in the One Big Beautiful Bill, as you know, Mr. President. We tightened up eligibility requirements. . . . We’ve implemented a work requirement, but we need to do more. We need to do more. And that’s why we need to do another reconciliation bill.
“Now, I hope I’m wrong when I say this. I hope I’m wrong. I invite my Democratic colleagues in the Senate—I love them all—to come forward and help us. But I just know politics, and you do, too, Mr. President. A lot of them are going to be reluctant, but we don’t need their assistance. We can pass a welfare security bill without Democratic votes.”
. . .
"If I could do it on my own, I would introduce the bill tomorrow. . . . I would look at every state, every country and adopt the best practices, and my bill can be ready in two weeks, but I can’t do a thing about getting it passed because I don’t have the authority to bring it to the floor of the Senate. I don’t. Only the majority leader can agree to bring a bill to be considered by the Senate.
"Those are the rules. If I were king for a day, I’d change it in a nanosecond. I think every senator ought to be able to bring his bills to the floor. And that’s not a criticism of my good friend, John Thune, or my good friend Mitch McConnell, or my good friend Chuck Schumer. They’re just following the rules. I’d change them."
. . .
“I’m not going to bubble wrap it. We’ve got $30-plus trillion worth of debt. We’ve got people stealing from poor people and laughing about it. And politicians participating in it. . . . The water is not going to clear up for America until we get the pigs out of the creek. Let’s go get the pigs out of the creek. Please, Senator Thune. Please let us do another reconciliation bill. Please lead with welfare reform. We can do it.”

Kennedy, Cornyn, colleagues introduce bill to ensure consequences for illegal aliens who drive drunk
Jan 08 2026
WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, joined Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and nine bipartisan colleagues in introducing the Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving Act, which would ensure that illegal aliens who drive drunk and kill or seriously injure someone face serious criminal consequences and removal from the United States.
“It’s bad enough to commit a crime by crossing our border illegally—but it’s beyond inexcusable for illegal immigrants to put innocent people in harm’s way by driving under the influence. We’ve seen far too many American lives cut short by drunk drivers who shouldn’t even be in our country, and we ought to use every tool in our arsenal to make sure these tragedies never happen again. The Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving Act will ensure illegal immigrants who hurt or kill people by driving under the influence are met with the full force of the law, and I’m proud to help introduce it,” said Kennedy.
“Zero mercy should be shown to illegal aliens who not only defy our laws by unlawfully entering the country but also take it a step further to drive drunk, threatening American lives. By strengthening current immigration law to hold these offenders accountable, our bill sends a clear message: If you enter the country illegally and harm innocent citizens, we will find you, we will punish you, and we will make sure you never step foot on American soil again,” said Cornyn.
Illegal aliens who drive drunk and kill or seriously injure Americans should not be allowed to remain in the United States. Yet under current law, some offenders are able to reenter the country and commit additional crimes even after receiving a DUI or DWI conviction.
The Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving Act would close this loophole by:
- Treating DUI or DWI offenses that result in death or serious bodily injury as aggravated felonies under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
- Ensuring illegal alien offenders convicted of these crimes are deportable and permanently barred from receiving immigration benefits, including asylum or lawful permanent resident status.
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) cosponsored the Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving Act.
“This legislation closes a legal loophole that has prevented and would continue to prevent law enforcement from protecting Americans. It will directly contribute to making our communities safer, and I urge my colleagues to advance it without delay,” said Cruz.
“Driving under the influence of intoxicating substances can have serious life or death consequences, and any illegal alien who chooses to get behind the wheel in such a state should not remain in our country. I am proud to stand with Senator Cornyn and my colleagues to ensure that illegal aliens who commit such crimes are deported from and inadmissible to the U.S.,” said Budd.
“Illegal immigrants who drink and drive put innocent American lives at risk and should face serious consequences, including deportation. This legislation strengthens our laws to close dangerous loopholes and ensure those who commit serious criminal offenses are swiftly removed from our country,” said Tillis.
“The Trump administration is sending a clear signal to all criminal illegal aliens: you are not welcome in the United States. Too many American lives have been taken because illegal immigrants who should never have been in our country were driving under the influence on our roads. I am proud to support Senator Cornyn’s legislation that puts public safety first, ends the cycle of excuses for criminal behavior, and ensures that illegal immigrants convicted of DUI are removed,” said Lummis.
“Driving under the influence and entering the United States illegally are both crimes that pose serious danger to the lives and livelihoods of American citizens. Any illegal who is caught driving drunk is doing both and should be immediately deported and never allowed to re-enter the United States. Our immigration and transportation laws must be enforced,” said Schmitt.
“People who are not legally present in this country should be removed, especially if they have been convicted of driving under the influence. Federal law should be clear that no illegal alien should ever have a second DUI conviction,” said Lankford.
“This common-sense measure is long overdue. Too many lives have been lost to reckless, drunk, and impaired drivers. We certainly shouldn’t add to that tragic number by allowing illegal aliens to have a pass for endangering drivers on American roads. Illegal aliens convicted of driving drunk and harming our citizens have no place in this country. In fact, these criminals should move to the very front of the deportation line and be on the first flight home. Full stop,” said Mullin.
“We can’t have a fair, orderly, and humane immigration system without clear rules that prevent dangerous criminals from remaining in our country. Drunk driving that results in severe injury or death is a serious and dangerous crime. Individuals who put lives at risk and endanger our communities should be held accountable,” said Gallego.
The Border Trade Alliance, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and NumbersUSA support the bill.

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today called on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Director Brian Nesvik to study the impact of unfair “legal baiting” on duck migration.
“Legal baiting,” an unsportsmanlike practice in which cornfields are needlessly flooded to attract waterfowl, comes at the expense of southward communities—particularly those in Louisiana. Since the 1990s, policy changes have opened the door to more widespread cornfield flooding, and Louisiana has suffered a massive downturn in its mallard harvest.
“In 1998, Congress enacted the Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act, which repealed the strict liability standard that previously governed federal waterfowl baiting violations. In 1999, USFWS . . . removed the enforcement mechanism that previously restricted the growth of hunting over intentionally flooded standing crops, particularly corn. As a result, Louisiana has witnessed a significant decline in annual waterfowl migration since the late 1990s,” Kennedy explained in a letter to Nesvik.
“Mallard harvest in the state of Louisiana dropped 95% from 1999-2021, more than any other state in the Mississippi Flyway. In Missouri, the mallard count rose from 280,000 in 1999 to 550,000 in 2016 . . . [T]he data indicates that mallards are concentrating and stopping in regions where the manual flooding of corn has become widespread,” the senator wrote.
“Unlike rice, which requires flooding as part of its natural growth cycle, there is no agronomical justification for flooding corn. Put simply, the intentional flooding of standing crops has enabled an unsportsmanlike practice, weakened long-standing protections for migratory birds, and adversely impacted waterfowl populations in Louisiana,” Kennedy added.
“This trend has troubling implications for the future overall health of duck populations, particularly considering the growing threat posed by avian flu, as noted by a research biologist at the U.S. Geological Survey: ‘The basic idea is that the more you concentrate animals into a small habitat, there’s probably a greater opportunity for transmission between individuals, and then the greater chance for disease spread within waterfowl,’” he continued.
“Therefore, I urge the USFWS to initiate a formal study to evaluate the impact of flooded corn on migratory waterfowl behavior, wintering distributions, and associated economic outcomes in the Mississippi Flyway. Ensuring fair access to waterfowl hunting for current and future generations of Americans is a shared priority, and I appreciate your attention to this important matter,” Kennedy concluded.

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) released the following statement marking the first anniversary of the Bourbon Street terrorist attack in New Orleans.
“New Year’s Day should be a celebration of the year to come. But for 14 families, today is the first anniversary of the worst day of their lives.
“One year ago, a terrorist killed 14 innocent people as they celebrated the new year on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. It was pure, unadulterated, objective evil.
“As we remember the horrors of the attack, we also need to remember the heroes. The heroes who risked their lives to stop the terrorist and rescue those in need. And we remain grateful to the New Orleans Police Department and all first responders for their unimaginable bravery on that day.
“So, to the families of the victims, I am so, so sorry for your loss. All of Louisiana is praying for you on this difficult day.”

“I’m John Kennedy, and I want to wish every family in Louisiana a merry Christmas.
“The Christmas season is special. It’s a celebration of God’s love for all of humanity. God loves us all so much that He sent His only son to be born in a manger, knowing that Jesus would one day die on a cross to redeem us all.
“I believe you can find God’s love everywhere, but it really shines in Louisiana. God blessed our taste buds with Cajun flavors. God blessed our eardrums with jazz music. God blessed our coasts with fish to catch and our skies with ducks to hunt. Above all, God blessed Louisiana with the most God-fearing, hardworking, and fun-loving people in America.
“When I thank God at night, and sometimes during the day, I thank Him twice for the fact that I get to live in Louisiana.
“So, during this Christmas season, on behalf of my wife, Becky, and my entire family, I wish all Louisianians a safe and merry Christmas.”

Kennedy on U.S. Senate Floor: ‘The federal government has your money, and we want to get it back to you.’
Dec 18 2025
Watch Kennedy’s comments here.
WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) spoke on the U.S. Senate floor about his efforts to help Americans claim the money that the federal government may owe them through mature, unclaimed savings bonds. Kennedy also outlined the steps that state treasurers should take to reunite Americans with their money.
Key speech excerpts are below.
“Mr. President, I've learned a few things in life. I want to mention two: number one, money does not buy happiness; number two, poverty does not buy a damn thing. And that's the theme of my few minutes as I talk today. This is about people's money, and it has to do with unredeemed, uncashed savings bonds.”
. . .
“Here’s what I’m driving at: Right now, over in the United States Department of Treasury, there are 100 million unredeemed savings bonds—money that belongs to the American people—and it’s no longer earning interest . . . [T]he money’s just sitting there, and the federal government’s using it, and they’re not paying people interest.”
“The total amount of these unredeemed savings bonds: $36.27 billion. And that $36 billion has been there a long, long time, because people have either died or they’ve forgotten that they have these unredeemed savings bonds.”
. . .
“[B]ack in 2023, I introduced a bill which actually passed . . . that said to the federal government, specifically the United States Department of Treasury, ‘You’ve got to give this money back.’ . . . Why are you just sitting on this $36 billion?”
. . .
“And they said, ‘Kennedy, you don’t understand. First of all, . . . the records are not digitized . . . and it’s just a lot of trouble.’ And I said, ‘Well, I feel your pain, but you still ought to return the money to people. So, here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to introduce a bill’—and I did, and I passed it—‘[that provides] money for the U.S. Department of Treasury to digitize those records . . . and put them in a database so they can be easily searched.’ And the U.S. Department of Treasury has done that, and I want to thank them.”
. . .
“We are ready to turn the names and addresses and serial numbers over to the treasurer of every state—in Louisiana, in West Virginia, in every other state . . . so they can contact people in their state and say, ‘The federal government has your money, and we want to get it back to you.’”
. . .
“[W]e’re almost home. What now we have to do is get the state treasurers to sign an agreement with the U.S. Department of Treasury to cooperate, and Treasury will send them the names, and we can start returning this money to people.
“And I’m going to be sending another letter out, in short order, to all the state treasurers asking them to go ahead and sign that user agreement with the Treasury Department so we can start getting this money back to people.
“It’s free money . . . If I can just get our state treasurers to turn in these user agreements . . . you may not get a check for Christmas, but if you hurry up, you can get a check in January or February, so you can pay some bills.”
Background:
- Kennedy authored the Unclaimed Savings Bond Act of 2021, which was signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.
- Kennedy’s law requires the U.S. Treasury to share information about the original owners of unclaimed savings bonds with officials in every state. This allows state treasurers to add information about mature, unredeemed savings bonds to their state’s unclaimed property program, enabling more Americans to locate and claim their missing investments.
- In November 2025, Kennedy sent this letter to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators and the National Association of State Treasurers, emphasizing, “It is imperative that all states enter into this User Agreement so Americans throughout the United States are efficiently reunited with their matured unredeemed debt to which they are entitled.”
- Kennedy managed Louisiana’s unclaimed property program for 17 years while serving as state treasurer. During this time, Kennedy reunited Louisianians with roughly $400 million in their unclaimed property.

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today met and voiced his support for members of the Louisiana National Guard who were verbally abused by a protester as they patrolled Washington, D.C.
“These brave Louisiana National Guard members deserve our thanks and support—not abuse from whack jobs. I was honored to speak to them at my office today. They make Louisiana proud,” said Kennedy.
On December 10, video surfaced of an activist hurling insults toward five members of the Louisiana National Guard and a bystander near Union Station in Washington, D.C.
The disturbed individual followed and repeatedly berated the men and women in uniform, calling one Guardsman “a piece of f***ing sh*t” and falsely claiming he “never did a damn thing for the country.”
The Louisiana National Guard members maintained their composure and stood tall in the face of the man’s harassment.
On December 11, Kennedy responded to the video, writing on X, “In real America, we don’t tolerate crazed nutjobs who treat our men and women in uniform like garbage . . . They’re always welcome to warm up and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet in my office.”
These Louisiana National Guard members today joined Kennedy at his office, who thanked them for their service and hard work to keep Washington, D.C., safe.
