Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I thank you, Mr. Chairman, for this early hearing on the Postal Service.”

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.

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

Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

I’m gonna run. I don’t know why anybody would even ask me.
