we have been hearing for weeks now about how the DHS shutdown needs to end because TSA workers need to get paid, and I agree. TSA workers have now been working with sporadic pay for 10 weeks. They may even get furloughed again until we…

data centers hold critical information we use every day and keep the internet running. Whether it is AI, blockchain, or any other innovations in technology, data centers are going to be a key part of this. Because data centers are so…

we can all agree that the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service is critical to keeping our food safe and protecting us from foodborne illnesses. This administration is trying to undermine this office and our country's ability to…

I rise in opposition to the planned reorganization of the Forest Service, which will mean the relocation or closure of dozens of Forest Service offices. The Forest Service is an agency many of us don't think about, but it does so much…

I rise today to support the Federal TRIO programs. Federal TRIO programs provide services to disadvantaged students to support their success from middle school all the way through college and beyond. These critical programs service over…
