I am outraged at the number and scope of anti-D.C. home rule riders in the bill released today.

D.C.'s local courts have faced chronic judicial vacancies for far too long, delaying justice for residents and placing an unnecessary strain on the administration of our local court system.

Mr. Speaker, today, I introduce the Federal Employee Short-Term Disability Insurance Act of 2026, which would make short-term disability insurance available to federal employees.

This bill would establish a commonsense process to ensure that qualified nominees are not indefinitely delayed by Senate inaction.
