A Government in Gridlock 
 
America does best when we provide stability for those who serve and for those who build, grow, and run our economy every day. From farmers to manufacturers to small business owners, the message has been clear: this shutdown is hurting America. House Republicans have done our job. We passed a clean Continuing Resolution to reopen the government and pay our troops. Now it’s time for the Senate to act so the American people can get back to work. 
 
Standing Strong with America’s Farmers 
 
Farmers don’t ask for much – just a fair shot to do what they love. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and House Republicans, we’re delivering real results for rural America. 
Through the Working Families Tax Cut, farmers will have stronger price protections, expanded access to risk coverage programs, and greater certainty to weather volatile markets. These steps reaffirm our commitment to American agriculture – ensuring that every farmer, rancher, and producer has the tools needed to thrive. 
 
Hostages Released  
 
Two years ago, the world watched in horror as innocent lives were taken and families were torn apart. On Monday, we saw hope restored. Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Rubio, hostages finally came home. This is a powerful moment for Israel, for peace, and for every family that prayed for this day. It marks an incredible step toward stability in a region long shaken by violence. It is a reminder that American leadership can make a difference in the cause of freedom and peace. 
 
A Well-Deserved Honor 
 
On Tuesday, President Trump awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom – a fitting tribute to a young man who inspired a generation to love America and stand proudly for its founding ideals. Charlie’s message of faith, liberty, and patriotism continues to shape the next generation of leaders. His impact on college campuses is a reminder that the future of our nation depends on those willing to stand up and speak out for freedom.
