Full committee
Washington, D.C. – House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK), House Appropriations Agriculture Subcommittee Chairman Andy Harris (R-MD), House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-PA), and House Agriculture Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture Subcommittee Chairman Brad Finstad (R-MN) released a statement on how continued Democrat obstruction in reopening the federal government has denied full, uninterrupted Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to vulnerable Americans:
Washington, D.C.– While Democrats continue their theatrics, forcing government employees to work without pay for a full month and risking programs like SNAP and WIC, Republicans have been working hard to help the people impacted by this prolonged, unnecessary shutdown. Appropriators are having face-to-face conversations with constituents while Democrats are filming TikToks in the halls of the Capitol Building, hosting photoshoots on the plaza, and avoiding tough questions from their constituents who are hurt by their shutdown tactics.
Washington, D.C. – Interior and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Mike Simpson (R-ID) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House GOP Leadership on day 22 of the Democrat-led government shutdown to highlight the devastating consequences for the American people and our national parks.
Washington, D.C. – Agriculture Subcommittee Chairman Andy Harris (R-MD) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for his press briefing to discuss the damage happening across our nation while the painful and reversible Democrat shutdown rages on.
Washington, D.C. – After proudly advancing the FY26 Defense appropriations bill through committee with a 26 to 3 bipartisan vote, Senate Democrats executed a full retreat on the floor. They blocked the same legislation they once hailed for strengthening deterrence, investing in U.S. defense capabilities, and delivering critical resources for our troops.
