Fair winds and following seas for the next 250 years and beyond. —Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher (ret.)

Happy birthday to the United States Navy. For 250 years, our sailors have served our nation with honor, dignity, and courage. The Navy holds a special place in my heart having served alongside incredible men and women for 34 years following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather.

When visiting Byers this week, we talked about the uncertainties a government shutdown brings as well as the deepening, and more prevalent uncertainties our affordability crisis is causing. I promise I will put people first — not the corporations Lauren Boebert is protecting.

If Congress can’t even pay the troops who stand guard for them, they’ve failed at the most basic duty of governing. This is a disgrace.

It’s now official: our troops will miss paychecks while the Senate skips town. The people who defend this nation are left scrambling to pay rent while politicians keep getting paid.

As we mark two years since the October 7th attacks and the devastation that followed and continues to this day, it is imperative that the ceasefire talks underway succeed—bringing an end to the violence, securing the release of all hostages, and paving the way toward lasting peace and stability.

Appreciated the opportunity to share with @politico.com why framing military policy around culture wars rhetoric undermines readiness and distracts from real national security priorities.

Our farmers and ranchers already face so many undue burdens in this economy, they deserve a government who protects them, not ignores them.

The shutdown is hitting rural and farming communities hard. Many USDA programs are shutting down including disaster aid, Rural Development activities, trade negotiations, animal & crop research, and food safety research. Half of the USDA staff will also be furloughed.
