Yes, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts needs structural renovations. No, the administration cannot use that need to strong arm the board into putting the president’s name on the facade; the courts already ruled against…

No one is going to be allowed to demolish the Kennedy Center.

For many Americans, fertility treatments like IVF are essential to start families of their own," said Larsen.

When the whistle blows until the end, I’ll be yelling for red cards and cheering goals.

Every good soccer fan who loves international football wishes Infantino would be a little less in the news and more promoting the game.

For the Trump administration to not give a bonus to every single one of these hardworking women and men is wrong; they all deserve a bonus and back pay.

The IBWC plays a crucial role in addressing water needs across the U.S.-Mexico border. I support H.R. 1948, as amended, to ensure the IBWC has the authority necessary to carry out its critical work and urge my colleagues to support this…

Local governments and electrical co-ops should not be penalized for taking out loans to jump- start disaster recovery for their communities. This bill will direct the administrator of FEMA to reimburse qualifying interest accrued on such…

Local weather alerting systems must work properly to save lives. This bill would direct the Government Accountability Office to identify and document any improvements that need to be made to such systems. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues…

There has never been a more important time for the United States to maintain and expand its leadership in the Arctic.

Thank you, Chairman Webster, for calling this hearing on a topic of great importance: icebreaking capabilities.

There's never been a more important time for the United States to maintain and expand its leadership in the Arctic.

If we want to support mitigation efforts that offer the greatest return on investment, it is common sense to provide communities with the resources they need to adopt the latest codes.

FEMA has reported that a nationwide adoption of modern codes would result in $600 billion in savings from disaster impact by 2060.
