The District of Columbia deserves a fully functional justice system as is afforded to each of our states.
This crew did what no human has ever done, and their mission puts us one step closer to a sustained presence on the moon.
The Artemis II mission took humanity further away from Earth than we have ever been before.
The Medicare Cost Cap Act will create a $5,000 ceiling on out-of-pocket costs for people with Traditional Medicare.
In the midst of a housing crisis, when homelessness is at a record high, HUD should not be implementing a rule change that would make it more difficult for vulnerable populations to seek assistance.
While the administration claims this is an effort to 'defend women’s rights,' the reality is that it will target the entire LGBTQ+ community.
This proposed rule actually directs HUD to ignore longstanding legal precedent prohibiting discrimination on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity.
My message is clear: I will always work hand-in-hand with Taiwan and our other partners throughout the region to tackle our shared challenges, strengthen security and build a more prosperous future.
No matter who sits in the Oval Office, Congress must have a steady vision for supporting Taiwan’s democracy and self-defense for the long haul.
We strongly urge you to withdraw this proposed rule.
This rule would derail American innovation and competitiveness at the local and national levels, kill good-paying American jobs, drive up costs for families, and halt essential projects in local communities.
The proposed changes solidify federal grant-making as an unprecedented partisan power-grab that eliminates transparency of how taxpayer dollars are spent.

China has a strategy. They have state-subsidized business sectors, solar panels being one of them, in which they want to flood the global market, put everyone out of business, and then you're completely reliant on China for generation of…
Fighting for the working class of Maine is not something new for Troy.
As a proud product of New Hampshire public schools, I believe providing every child the opportunity and choice to attend a public school is important and necessary.
I want healthy utilities, and I want dependable generation. … Ratepayers, though, have got to be involved in that equation, not just given lip service.
On a bipartisan and bicameral basis, Congress is prepared to help President Trump apply the necessary pressure on Putin to get him to the negotiating table and end the killing once and for all.
It is abundantly clear that Russia is not winning this war. … Putin is at his weakest position in years and real sustained pressure can finally bring this war to a close.
