Last night, for the first time since 2018, the Senate passed annual appropriations bills ahead of the August recess. The three bills—covering Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; Agriculture, FDA, and Rural Development; and the Legislative Branch annual appropriations—each passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. These bills include significant investments for...

This is actually insane 🚨 Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals the reason both the House and Senate aren’t passing the bills they’re required to right now is because they’re waiting until they are stuffed full of everything their lobbyists are asking for “Why can't we pass any of these bills? Here's why — You have the pulling and tugging. Behind the scenes of those lobbyists saying, make sure this gets covered. So they're packing in all the appropriation bills with all the crap” “I'm going to make this real simple because this is a process that's really hard to understand. I had to learn it, too. September 30th, every single year is our government funding deadline. And Congress is constitutionally required to fund the government. That's what we're supposed to do. It's our job. There's 12 separate appropriation bills, and that funds like every different department and section of the government, ranging from the Department of Defense to the Department of Agriculture to tsa, Border Patrol, ICE, all of this really important stuff - We in The House have only passed 2 of our 12 appropriation bills. Only2 - The Senate has only passed 3 out of their 12 appropriation bills, and they have roughly the same amount of time. Why can't we pass any of these bills? Here's why — You have the pulling and tugging. Behind the scenes of those lobbyists saying, make sure this gets covered. So they're packing in all the appropriation bills with all the crap”

I did promise since last year that we would bring agriculture and food systems to center stage at COP28, and here we are! Celebrating together, a MILESTONE MOMENT IN HISTORY for food systems and agriculture at a COP in the first session. I'm happy to confirm that COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action has so far received 134 endorsements from heads of state and government. With these countries on board, we cover more than 5.7 billion people and 70% of all the food we eat. The signatories of the declaration are home to nearly 500 million farmers and represent 75% of all emissions from global food systems. To support the funding and innovation part of the declaration, it gives me great pleasure to announce a significant funding partnership with a very dear partner to the UAE. The partnership will focus on agricultural research and development and scaling up innovations, which is so desperately needed to adapt food systems to the growing threats of climate change. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, together with the UAE, will fund a total sum of… 200 million US dollars of new investments into food and ag research and scaling up innovations. With the majority of this investment flowing into the CGIAR network, the UAE is delighted to become a core partner of the CGIAR System Council and support its work. A big thank you to all the countries who have endorsed the declaration and contributed to this watershed moment for the food and climate agenda. We look forward to many more joining over the next few days! #FoodSystems #agriculture #COP28UAE #cgiar

Today, more than 170 delegates from all 50 states and five countries were in Washington for the 2025 Breakthrough Type 1 Diabetes Children’s Congress. I was proud to chair a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing to welcome the delegates and focus on the importance of federal investment in Type 1 diabetes research. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and I — the founding co-chairs of the bipartisan Senate Diabetes Caucus — introduced legislation this week to reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program, a federal initiative that provides $160 million annually for Type 1 diabetes research and prevention. Thanks to this program and the tireless advocacy of Breakthrough T1D and its Children’s Congress Delegates, we are seeing life changing breakthroughs in the fight against this terrible disease. Some of these developments include the now widely used continuous glucose monitors, the first FDA-approved artificial pancreas, and a groundbreaking clinical trial in which 10 of the 12 participants no longer need insulin to manage their diabetes because of a stem cell-based therapy. Since the founding of the Senate Diabetes Caucus in 1997, federal funding for diabetes research has increased from $319 million to more than $2.3 billion annually. I want to thank our outstanding witnesses for today’s hearing: Ruby Whitmore of Old Town, Maine, Rachel White of North Hampton, New Hampshire, Katie Bone of Bernalillo, New Mexico, and Dr. Griffin Rodgers, Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Their passionate testimony highlighted both the daily realities of living with type 1 diabetes and the vital role of continued federal research through agencies like the NIDDK. Finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes remains our ultimate goal and has been one of my highest priorities since the very beginning of my Senate service. With continued advocacy, bipartisan support, and strong federal investment, I am confident that day will come.
