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.

We strongly urge you to withdraw this proposed rule.

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.

As a Pacific nation, we must remain reliable partners to Taiwan—for the sake of their security and our own.

Our friendship with Taiwan is bigger than any one President.

It really is critical to not yield even an inch to President Xi, and that’s why I really wanted to go to Taiwan at this time.

Presidents come, presidents go, but the commitment to our role on the global stage remains.

“Every American should be able to live their truth and love who they love,”

I’ve seen firsthand how these investments help create jobs, support farmers and grow our economy back home.

With our existing investments and strong leadership at the state level, Illinois is as strong as ever and the perfect place for more investments and international business expansion from our partners in Asia.

Your proposal exceeds OMB’s authority, will make it impossible for grant recipients to faithfully carry out the funding priorities that Congress establishes in statute, and would turn federal grants into a new cudgel for the President to…

Article I of the Constitution vests the power of the purse in Congress, which Congress has historically exercised by appropriating taxpayer dollars through federal grants to fund critical programs, including to protect public safety…

Ultimately, these changes will make it harder for grant recipients to apply for and manage federal funds – undermining public safety, public health, economic competitiveness, and the government’s ability to address rising costs.

No child should ever be put in a situation where they lose their life protecting a friend from gunfire.
