I think we do need to approve that Compact in this Congress, with the aggressive assistance of this Administration.

It is troubling.

time is running out fast if we are to meet the Speaker's deadline, as well as avoid what Treasury is warning could be a humanitarian crisis on the island of Puerto Rico.

The islands bear a disproportionate share of those Medicaid costs.

Flooding is one of the main threats that climate change poses to coastal states, including the Northern Mariana Islands.
