No one does specialty crops like Michigan. We grow everything from cherries, to asparagus, to blueberries, and all are enduring incredible instability," said Senator Slotkin.

Specialty crop growers are critical to New Mexico’s agricultural economy and to feeding communities across the nation," said Senator Luján.

I'm proud of the work the House Energy and Commerce Committee has done on a bipartisan basis, and I look forward to working to bring this package to the House floor for a vote soon.

This agreement proves Congress can come together to deliver real online protections for our nation’s young people.

Big Tech has had a free pass for far too long while kids and teens face real harm online, including predatory design features, dangerous chatbots, and data brokers profiting off their personal information.

Congress has a responsibility to understand whether federal policies are helping communities build resilience or making those challenges harder to overcome.

Energy resilience is not a luxury for island communities; it is the foundation for everything else.

As our nation prepares to mark 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, I recognize that more than 125 years ago, the United States established a governing framework for the territories that still shape these relationships today.

This bipartisan legislation invests in the research needed to improve turnout gear, helping ensure firefighters have the proper protective equipment they deserve.

I’m proud to work across the aisle on this legislation to support investments into developing new, PFAS-free turnout gear that protects firefighters across the country.

Our first responders put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, and too many suffer or lose their lives from cancers caused by toxic exposures on the job — including from harmful PFAS chemicals in their protective…

The Vacancies Reform Act was not designed to provide a basis for on-the-job training for subsequent Senate confirmation.

I do not blame Mr. Hague or Mr. Lilly for doing the jobs that this administration gave them. But I do believe that this Administration has abused its authority by delegating authorities that require Senate confirmation in violation of the…

But that authority, which is provided by the Vacancies Reform Act, is narrowly limited and frankly, is being abused.

Meanwhile, these important offices have not been filled by someone confirmed by the Senate. That is a serious problem.

This hearing is long overdue. Each of the three offices the individuals before us today have been nominated to hold have been vacant since the beginning of the President’s second term, a year and a half ago.

The Pell Grant is the most important tool we have to help students afford college. Unfortunately, due to Republicans' attacks on federal student aid — including slashing loans in annual appropriations and refusal to fully fund the Pell…

No one should be denied a chance at a higher education if they are smart and capable enough but are unable to afford it.

It is clear as day that we cannot trust this President to be left to his own devices. We need to use the power we have to end this war and head down the path of real diplomacy – let’s take it.

Four years ago, Donald Trump, Republicans, and an activist Supreme Court walked our country backwards and stripped women in America of the right to control their lives.

Michiganders are experiencing a housing affordability crisis, and for too long, the federal government has stayed on the sidelines,” said Senator Peters. “After decades of inaction, I’m proud to have helped pass this bipartisan bill that…

This bipartisan bill incentivizes first-time homebuyers to gain these important skills while giving them a leg up on their mortgage payments and long-term financial stability.

Purchasing a home can be a stressful, confusing, and complicated process, especially as we face a housing affordability crisis in our country. We must ensure all Michiganders have resources that can help them prepare for successful…

My PUPIL Act will bring long overdue attention to the needs of paraprofessionals and equip paraprofessionals, school leaders, advocates, and legislators to craft policies that support these workers.
