“It’s important that the United States continues to stay ahead of China when it comes to development and manufacturing of new technologies,” said Rounds.

Former senators
Every single day we delay, fraudsters steal more than $1.4 billion.
Now, Congress must pass my anti-fraud package to protect taxpayers.
I’m grateful for the leadership of Vice President Vance and the Trump administration for cracking down on fraud across the country and sending scammers to the slammer.
Our states have to get to a point where they don't have this huge discrepancy with the error rates.
I’m disappointed the Democrats voted against advancing the Farm Bill today, leaving America’s farmers and rural communities waiting even longer for the certainty of a five-year Farm Bill.
And I think we see seven million children now who already have Trump accounts. I think it could be much larger, especially maybe parents don't even know about this. And so, I thought just the ease of enrollment and what this could do for…
And so, the Social Security administration, because you have to have a Social Security card, has made it easier to enroll in Social Security. And I thought, why don't we hook on to that and say, ‘You don't have to have a Trump account, but…
It's an exciting time to have a newborn, sometimes some of the details of what you could do for your child at those very first moments as you leave the hospital, get lost, and then you get lost in the care of a child. And I don't want to…
Parents and children need to come first – not the President’s political crusade to end this lifeline of a program.
For decades, Republicans and Democrats have come together to support Head Start because it is essential for not just our children’s development and Kindergarten readiness, but our workforce and economy.
This latest push puts kids’ wellbeing and safety on the line and is all part of the President’s plan to shut down Head Start entirely, and it’s shameful.
Wisconsin families in every part of our state struggle to find quality, affordable childcare – with parents driving hours or simply quitting their jobs so their kids have somewhere safe to play, learn, and grow.
The Great Lakes are part of who we are as Michiganders, and our lighthouses are a crucial piece of that heritage.
Today, and every day, I stand with our immigrant community.
I will continue to fight to pass this critical legislation.
Haiti’s TPS designation should remain in place given the challenges still facing Haiti today.
Our own government has determined that it is unsafe for U.S. citizens to travel to Haiti, so why would it be safe for Haitians to return?
The official termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti is a moral failure.
Together, we built E-Rate. And together, we will protect it.
It’s unacceptable. But we can and will fight back. The FCC will be accepting comments for the next few months, and they need to hear what E-Rate means in your school, library, and community.
The Trump administration is putting the success of the E-Rate program at risk, threatening to blow a hole in schools’ budgets and diverting limited local dollars from teachers, classroom programs, books, and other essential services.
Climate change is a public health emergency. Power outages, floods, fires, and extreme temperatures threaten hospitals’ ability to care for patients in a disaster. Meanwhile, outdated infrastructure contributes to the pollution causing…
I implore the United States and Russian governments to find a solution before we find ourselves in a situation that will further complicate an already difficult relationship.
