Official Team Britt Newsletter | | | Britt on supporting Trump nominees, DOGE: ‘They want us to shake up business as usual’ | U.S. Senator Katie Britt called into Alabama Morning News with JT Nysewander to discuss the cabinet confirmation process and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Britt on Thursday met with President Trump’s designated nominee to serve as Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
“I am supporting Pete and his nomination,” Britt confirmed to JT.
Alabama’s junior U.S. Senator explained that “[President Trump] ‘is saying, I want people in here that are willing to execute the vision that I laid before the American people.’ The American people heard what Donald Trump wanted to do. They know he wants to cut waste. They know he wants to get things back to where they should be.” | | | Sen. Britt’s bill updating next generation body armor passes | U.S. Senator Katie Britt, R-Ala., the Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, and Senator Gary Peters , D-Mich., the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, on Wednesday announced their DHS Better Ballistic Body Armor Act passed the Senate by unanimous consent. This bipartisan bill would require all agencies under DHS to provide improved ballistic body armor to appropriately fit both male and female law enforcement officers.
“The brave law enforcement personnel at the Department of Homeland Security need equipment that keeps them safe and ensures they can return home to their families every night. Unfortunately, their current body armor sometimes misses the mark—requiring some officers to wear equipment that does not provide the full protection they deserve,” said Senator Britt. “With the passage of the DHS Better Ballistic Body Armor Act, we are ensuring every man and woman in the line of duty has the best equipment necessary to protect them. I am thankful for the unanimous passage of our legislation, and I look forward to seeing this bill pass the House and ultimately be signed into law.” | | | ‘Self-serving slap in the face’: US Sen.

Senator Britt said the decision to pardon Hunter Biden, 53, was like a slap in the face to the people of our country.
