(1/2) The 1890 National Scholars Program makes higher ed accessible for everybody. Scholars get real-world work experience at USDA while completing their studies, helping improve our agriculture industry.

(5/5) Furthermore, this puts America’s national security in jeopardy, risks politicizing our military which has always been, and should always be, non-political, and places cronyism above merit, experience, and integrity.
(4/5) This signals weakness to our adversaries and sends a chilling message to those serving in our military and will hamper our ability to recruit and retain the best and the brightest to defend our nation.
(3/5) ...and the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, strips our country of its top warfighters and leaders at a time when the world threat environment is at a fever pitch.
(2/5) His unjustified termination as Joint Chief along with those of Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, General James Slife...
(1/5) General C.Q. Brown has had a distinguished career as a warfighter. His professionalism is respected and admired by military servicemembers as well as Congress, and he was lauded by President Trump himself.

I'm going live on IG with @bishop.house.gov today at 3 PM to talk about the need for Congress to pass a spending bill by March 14. #WTFShow
On what would have been his 85th birthday, remembering my former colleague and good friend who lived a life of creating “good trouble” in service to all for the betterment of our great nation. #JohnLewisSelfie
I will be going live for my Telephone Town Hall in 30 minutes. I look forward to sharing with you what I am working on for Georgia in the new Congress and discuss recent developments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFQ_...
Tonight, I will be holding a Telephone Town Hall at 6:30pm. Find out more about my Telephone Town Halls and how to sign up for them here: bishop.house.gov/TownHall
I am hosting a Telephone Town Hall on Thursday, February 20th at 6:30pm, to update you about my work for Georgia’s 2nd Congressional district as we start the new Congress, as well as discuss the latest from the new Administration. Visit my website to learn more. bishop.house.gov/TownHall
Investing in our children is crucial for creating a better tomorrow for Georgia families. Recently, I met with Great Kids, Inc., to talk about early childhood development, home visiting, and health care programs that help give our kids the foundation they need to succeed.
(3/3) Blindly and broadly terminating civil servants is not thoughtful or surgical and likely to undermine any effort to make the VA more efficient or improve the quality of care for those who served our country.
(2/3) This is a 1-2 gut punch to the veteran and military family community with complete disregard to “first do no harm.” Today, I joined many of my Congressional colleagues demanding answers.
(1/3) It defies logic to terminate over 1,000 dedicated civil servants yesterday – many veterans, military spouses, and important practitioners like researchers and caregivers – without justification and jeopardizing the quality of care that our veterans receive.
The forestry industry contributes $42 billion to Georgia's economy and employs over 140k people. Today, I met with the Forest Landowners Association to discuss the need to maintain disaster recovery tools, as well as the harm tariffs can have on private landowners.
(3/3) We must close the gap to ensure that everyone can take full advantage of the digital resources out there and participate in the increasingly digital world in which we live and work.
(2/3) The bipartisan legislation would allow rural households to claim a $300 tax credit for the purchase of a home Wi-Fi signal booster or mobile hotspot to access the internet.
(1/3) I joined Congressman John Moolenaar (MI-02) in introducing H.R. 1020, the Broadening Online Opportunities Through Simple Technologies (BOOST) Act. bishop.house.gov/media-center...
(4/4) She comes to Congress having served in our country’s armed forces and knows, from personal experience, the challenges that our military families face. I look forward to working with her in the months ahead.
