It is a sad state of affairs that we have to debate whether American tax dollars should be used to settle lawsuits with individuals who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
@wassermanschultz.house.gov amendment would stop funds in this bill from closing down NOAA weather and climate labs and cooperative institutes. I voted in favor of this amendment, and I'm glad to see it adopted.
NOAA research labs are essential to preparing for the devastating severe weather events that are only becoming more common, and protecting key environmental resources like the Great Lakes we rely on.
@meng.house.gov and @repespaillat.bsky.social introduced an amendment that would strike a provision in this bill that stops the ATF from regulating ghost guns. We cannot take away ATF's ability to defend our communities from violent crime, and I proudly voted in support of this amendment.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro's amendment would restore this funding and provide the support our law enforcement needs. I voted in support of this amendment, but the Republican majority did not let it pass.
Even Trump's own appointee was in favor of more funding than the President's budget, yet Republicans have proposed cutting the FBI by more than half a billion dollars.
The FBI is critical to keeping Americans safe, from fighting against financial crimes to combating drug cartels and protecting our communities from terrorism.
I am deeply concerned about this bill. It's cuts to the Economic Development Administration will rip away opportunities for communities like ours to get ahead. When we shortchange investment at home, we hand our global competitors an advantage.
We just finished opening comments on the bill. Again and again, Republicans show the American people are not their priority. Their proposed spending would threaten our national security, make families less safe, harm our competitiveness, and threaten women's health and safety.
The Republican-proposed Commerce, Justice, and Science spending plan for 2026 defunds law enforcement and includes cuts that will leave American families to pay the price. Join me as I fight back alongside my @democrats-appropriations.house.gov colleagues:
The Labor, Health, and Human Services funding bill proposed by the Republicans does nothing to help American families pay their bills, put food on the table, or afford healthcare.
Today's mark up showed how Republicans are in lock-step with the draconian cuts being pursued by the Trump administration. House Democrats are going to keep fighting for the American people and the resources that support them.
My amendment would restore funding for this critical program, and I'll keep working to ensure support for the CCAMPIS program is included in the funding bill.
1 in 5 college students in America is also a parent. For them, childcare is not a convenience, it's a lifeline that determines whether they can stay in school. The Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program helps low-income students access before-and after-school programs.
Rep. Underwood's amendment would restore funding to the title 8 nursing workforce development program which this bill plans to cut by 15%. The Republican majority did not allow this amendment to pass.
Investing in the education and retention of our nursing workforce is a critical way to tackle the nursing shortage we're facing across the country.
We're about half way through the amendment process for the Labor, Health, and Human Services funding bill.   One thing is very clear: we don't have partners in a bipartisan way in the fight to help middle class families.
