These benefits include employment training for another job or career, income support, and other services. His decision to vote against a bill that would have circumvented the Obama Administration’s continuing review of the Keystone Pipeline. His willingness to debate the merits of the USA Freedom Act, a bill that would reform the way our government collects intelligence that passes through the U.S. communications systems. The bill stalled on the Senate floor on Tuesday. You can watch Senator King’s complete recap below.
