Bill > HR6959

This bill, titled the "Nick Shirley Congressional Gold Medal Act," proposes awarding a Congressional Gold Medal to Nick Shirley for his investigative journalism that reportedly uncovered significant fraud against American taxpayers. Specifically, the bill cites a December 26, 2025, social media post by Shirley on X (formerly Twitter) detailing the alleged discovery of over $110,000,000 in fraud in Minnesota within a single day, which the bill states led to the halting of federal funding to fraudulent businesses by President Trump. Congress finds that Shirley demonstrated bravery and dedication in exposing this alleged waste, fraud, and abuse, and therefore deserves this high honor. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to strike and present the gold medal, and may also strike and sell duplicate bronze medals to cover production costs.
