Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and we just got the best news – our READINESS Act to retain military and foreign service spouses throughout base reassignment is officially in mark-up!
One step closer to passage!
Teachers are the unsung heroes of our society — supporting and shaping the next generation of leaders.
This Teacher Appreciation Week, be sure to thank the teachers who inspired you!

Awareness Month, it's time we end the silence.
Y'all...can we just get to work? We need to reauthorize the FAA, the Affordable Connectivity Program is about to expire, we're only just get started on FY 2025 appropriations funding, and our Speaker is out on the steps tap dancing for Trump to stop MTG from trying to fire him?
