Thursday’s votes in the House and the Senate keep the government open until December 22. In caucus, in committee, in conversation with Members on both sides of the aisle, I continue to press for action on what I see as our most urgent national priorities: · Parity between defense spending and the domestic budget, where almost all the funding for the Marianas comes from, · Funding for veterans and the fight against opioids, · Renewal of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Community Health Center spending, and · Passage of the DREAM Act. Let us hope the extra days until December 22 are enough to reach agreement, so we will not have to kick the can into January. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
