The USS Abraham Lincoln and its servicemembers, based out of San Diego, have been deployed for more than 300 days. I'm grateful they're heading home. But the hardships they have endured should remind us all of the personal costs of this illegal and unwanted war.

What has this war of choice in Iran achieved?!

When productions film here in America, the impact goes far beyond the set. It means jobs, investment, and opportunity for workers and small businesses in South Carolina and across the country. President Trump has called on Congress to help bring film production back to the U.S., and my Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act will help make sure that the next generation of iconic American films is made right here at home! scott.senate.gov/media-cente…

The Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act would deliver a true gamechanger for American creators, workers, and businesses – a federal incentive that supercharges production at home, fuels jobs and growth in local communities, and makes the United States a more competitive destination for the next generation of great film and television.

Today, I joined @RepNateMoran, @RepLindaSanchez, @RepBrianJack, @RepFriedmanCA, @RepDavidKustoff, @RepMikeCarey, @RepTomSuozzi, @SenAdamSchiff and @SenatorTimScott to introduce the bipartisan, bicameral Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, which would create a new federal tax credit to incentivize film and television production here in the United States. Southern California has long been the heart of America’s film and television industry, but many productions are leaving for other countries, taking an entire industry of good-paying jobs with them. It’s time we bring productions and jobs back to the U.S. and support our creative workforce.

Hollywood would get 20% federal film tax credit under proposed new bill latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has unveiled new legislation that would create a 20%-30% federal incentive for U.S. film and TV production: • The incentive, stacked with state tax credits, would potentially create the world’s most generous production subsidies. • “If it passes and it stacks clean, shooting in Georgia or California or New York is the best deal on the planet,” says Entertainment Partners’ Joe Chianese. “Nothing overseas comes close.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHNjK

IATSE Lauds Introduction of Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, Urges Swift Passage WASHINGTON, D.C. — The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) today applauded the introduction of the bipartisan Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act (MPTERA), which would create a federal incentive to level the playing field and bring film and television jobs back to the United States. The bill follows years of IATSE advocacy for a competitive, labor-based federal production incentive. The Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act would: Provide a 20% base tax credit on qualified compensation for qualified film and television productions. - Eligible productions include feature films, television pilots, and television seasons with total costs above $1 million and at least 75% of principal photography days occur within the United States. - Qualified compensation is defined as payments for labor-based services (including pre-production, and post-production work) performed in the United States. Provide a 20% base credit for qualifying traditional post-production and visual effects work when at least 75% of the total costs for the respective VFX and TPP services are incurred in the United States. Offer bonus credits of 5%, up to a maximum total credit of 30%, for productions that meet specified domestic investment requirements. Productions could qualify for bonus credits by: - Filming in a rural qualified opportunity zone or federally declared disaster area. - Meeting the bill’s requirements for qualifying as an independent production. - Conducting at least 50% of principal photography in 10 or more states, with at least $10,000,000 in qualified compensation. - Taxpayers who increase their number of domestic productions relative to a historical foreign base amount “The over 170,000 behind-the-scenes entertainment workers of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) are proud to endorse the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act,” said International President Matthew D. Loeb. “IATSE has long called for a globally competitive, labor-based federal production incentive to level the playing field for American workers, return middle-class film and television jobs to America, and keep them here at home. “This legislation would achieve that goal, addressing the dramatic loss of tens of thousands of American jobs in motion picture production and post-production. IATSE praises Senators Scott and Schiff, and Representatives Moran, Sanchez, Jack, Friedman, Carey, Chu, Kustoff, and Suozzi for leading this bipartisan effort. IATSE calls on all members of Congress to support and pass this critical jobs bill before the end of the year,” Loeb continued. Swift passage of this bill is IATSE’s foremost federal legislative priority, as it would be transformative for our members’ future work opportunities and economic well-being after years of scarcity. We urge all members of Congress to cosponsor this legislation and push for it to become law.

Hollywood’s push for a federal film tax incentive is officially moving forward. A new bill would offer a 20% base tax credit for U.S. productions, including the salaries of actors, directors and other above-the-line talent. The incentive could also be combined with state tax credits, giving productions more financial incentive to film in the U.S. thewrap.com/industry-news/bu…

With Xi Jinping visiting the White House today, we cannot forget the victims of the CCP’s systemic repression. In this video, @SenAdamSchiff (CA) speaks out for political prisoners Dr. Wang Bingzhang and Ding Jiaxi, whom he has adopted for the U.S. Congress’ Defending Freedoms Project. Ding Jiaxi is a human rights lawyer who was sentenced to 12 years in prison due to his activism. Dr. Wang Bingzhang is a U.S. permanent resident who advocated for democracy in China; he was sentenced to life imprisonment on baseless espionage and terrorism charge. Both cases highlight the CCP’s brutal crackdown on dissent. #FreeThemAll #FreeWangBingzhang #FreeDingJiaxi

Trump has blown TENS OF BILLIONS of your tax dollars on his forever war with Iran. The American people did not want this. End the war NOW.
