I applaud the Biden administration's commitment to that work, and I will do everything in my power to ensure we make real progress for Jackson and communities like mine across the United States.
For years, I have been a champion of equity--this Congress I was proud to see my legislation, the FEMA Equity Act, pass the House.
For years, I have been a champion of equity. This Congress I was proud to see my legislation, the FEMA Equity Act, pass the House as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
Clearly, FEMA and its partners must do a better job of ensuring that States provide Federal funding to those communities most in need.
Operational technology underpins almost every aspect of how we live and work.
Although the water crisis was not caused by a cyber attack, its horrific impacts underscore the urgency of ensuring the safety of industrial control systems.
What we have is a reluctant office of governor who has decided that for whatever reason, Jackson will be treated differently. That’s unfortunate. That was not the intent of the legislation.
Jackson, Mississippi is in the midst of a water crisis, leaving over 100,000 of my constituents without a clean water supply.
I mean millions of dollars we're talking about remarkable reporting by the people who broke the story to invest -- the investigated this for years as to what the government finds and the investigations fine now.
the Department of Justice this summer to investigate Bryant and any possible connection to this absolutely incredibly large welfare fraud scheme that has just decimated the needy families in his state.

Inspector General Cuffari failed to provide adequate or timely notice that the Secret Service had refused for months to comply with the inspector general`s requests for information related to the January 6th attack.

Inspector general Cuffari`s failure to promptly notify Congress of crucial information while conducting an investigation of the Secret Service`s preparation for and response to the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Facial recognition technology could absolutely be deployed to those ports of entry where the foot traffic coming through would roll right through.
