Eleanor Holmes Norton: “What I do object to is your having no discussions with Mr. Goldstein.”

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.

As President, Mr. Trump failed to deliver on promises he made during his first term, leaving us with an economy in shambles.

I always love to make sure DC is treated the same as states.
