At a time when aviation professionals are needed more than ever, the West Michigan Aviation Academy is a huge asset to our community and our nation. It’s a launching pad for high schoolers interested in the aviation field, allowing them to SOAR to new heights.

I’m proud to stand with my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues to call on the Department of Labor to investigate the alarming exit of women from the workforce and lead with solutions. We can’t wait. Our economy, our families, and our future depend on it. #WorkforceEquity

The Trump administration is quietly dismantling worker protections, hoping the American public won’t notice. Unlike some of our Republican colleagues, we actually read the fine print. We’re demanding that the Department of Labor do what it was meant to do: Protect workers.

I’m grateful to be working with the Michigan Primary Care Association and community health leaders from West Michigan. These centers care for more than 94k of our neighbors — and they need Congress to act on funding to stay afloat. I am proud to be part of this fight alongside them.

Great hearing from stakeholders at our NDC Air Traffic Control Roundtable to hear from experts in the field & continue working together to support air traffic controllers. They know firsthand how desperately we need to invest in our air traffic control system to keep our airways & passengers safe.

If you're a current H-1B visa holder in the United States, you should not leave the country. If you're out of the country, you should consider returning home from abroad immediately.

Our small businesses face myriad challenges when competing in the federal marketplace, and my amendment to the NDAA would help maintain a level playing field for these entrepreneurs.

That’s why I’m leading the Federal-State Partnership for Clean Water Act — a step in the right direction to safeguard our waters and help prevent the devastation of extreme, unmitigated flooding. Let’s pass this bill and protect our wetlands. Our clean water future depends on it.
Scholten: Congress must act to protect Michigan's wetlands
This summer has been marked by severe flooding across our country, from New Mexico to New York City to North Carolina to Texas.
Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govSep 19(source)
I‘ll always work to protect clean water, including our wetlands, and to ensure we are doing everything we can to limit the devastation of future floods in Michigan and beyond. 🧵

We’re once again on the brink of a government shutdown — a pattern that has become all too familiar in our political world. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it SHOULDN’T be this way. Let’s get into it on this week’s episode of Straight Talk With Scholten. Watch and subscribe below.

We’re running out of time to keep our government functioning. The American people deserve a responsible funding package that supports our essential services and employees — not a partisan package that undermines what keeps our nation afloat. Let’s get to work.

I am continually surprised at the lengths my House GOP colleagues will go to in order to protect the whims and wishes of President Trump. Even when his policies hurt their own constituents, they continue to bend the knee. www.msnbc.com/inside-with-...
So much for loyalty: Red states ‘devastated’ by Trump cuts, tariffs
According to a New York Times analysis, red states have been disproportionately impacted by retaliatory tariffs. That, plus cuts to FEMA and NOAA, means red states will have millions less in funding f...

Republican leadership, chaotic as ever, took nearly an hour to get their party together and prevent the passage of this resolution — at the behest of President Trump. So for now, the effort to enforce our constitutional authority as it relates to national emergencies is on pause.
