Representative Fleischmann Anticipates Passage of 2027 Energy Water Development Bill During Lame Duck Session

Representative Fleischmann Anticipates Passage of 2027 Energy Water Development Bill During Lame Duck Session

Representative Chuck Fleischmann (R-Tenn.), who chairs the Energy & Water subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, expects the Energy & Water Development bill for fiscal year 2027 to pass during the 'lame duck' session following the November election. Fleischmann, responsible for drafting the appropriations bill for the Department of Energy and related agencies, shared this outlook at the National Cleanup Workshop in Arlington, Va. While a continuing resolution has already passed to fund the government through December 11, Fleischmann believes a full-year appropriations bill will ultimately be approved after the election. He emphasized the federal responsibility for legacy nuclear cleanup at DOE sites, including Oak Ridge, noting that this work will continue for decades. He also highlighted that cleanup milestones at Oak Ridge have contributed to Tennessee being ranked number one in new nuclear development. Fleischmann also mentioned that even if the Republican Party loses the election, he would...

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger Halts Youngkin Administration's Anti-Transgender Regulatory Effort

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger Halts Youngkin Administration's Anti-Transgender Regulatory Effort

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's administration has withdrawn a regulatory effort initiated by former Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin's term, which aimed to restrict transgender individuals. The proposal sought to bar transgender women and girls from women's-only athletic teams, competitions, bathrooms, locker rooms, and other sex-separated spaces. The Virginia Board of Health had unanimously approved a petition in August 2025 to exclude transgender people from women's sports and certain facilities, with Governor Youngkin directing the board to proceed in October, framing the restrictions as a public health measure. Governor Spanberger's administration terminated the action on July 30, after the public comment period concluded, with the state's regulatory docket recording the outcome as 'Withdrawn.' The decision was made without a formal announcement or news release, and people familiar with the administration's decision indicated that the Democratic Attorney General Jay Jones' office determined t...

Representative Haley Stevens Co-Sponsors Resolution for Pharmacy Workforce Suicide Awareness Day

Representative Haley Stevens (D-MI) has co-sponsored a House of Representatives resolution to designate September 20th as Pharmacy Workforce Suicide Awareness Day. This initiative, introduced by Reps. Paul Tonko (D-NY) and Jen Kiggans (R-VA), aims to raise awareness, eliminate stigma, and foster conversations around suicide prevention within the pharmacy profession. The resolution is supported by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), who established the annual observance in 2023 during Suicide Prevention Month. The move comes in response to research indicating that pharmacists and female pharmacy technicians face an elevated risk of suicide. The resolution highlights the significant public health challenge of suicide and the particular vulnerabilities within the healthcare sector.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan Subpoenas Boulder and Fairfax County DAs Over 'Preferential Treatment' of 'Criminal Aliens'

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan Subpoenas Boulder and Fairfax County DAs Over 'Preferential Treatment' of 'Criminal Aliens'

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has issued subpoenas to the district attorneys of Boulder, Colorado, and Fairfax, Virginia. The subpoenas are part of an ongoing investigation into sanctuary jurisdictions and their policies concerning the prosecution of foreign national criminals. Chairman Jordan accuses both District Attorneys, Michael Dougherty of Boulder County and Steve Descano of Fairfax County, of providing “preferential treatment” to “criminal aliens” and failing to cooperate with the committee's requests for information. According to Fox News Digital, Jordan stated in separate letters to the DAs that their offices' lenient treatment of foreign national criminals endangers communities and allows them to evade both criminal and immigration accountability. The committee has been investigating district attorneys who consider immigration status in criminal complaints, even when the crime is unrelated to the suspect's legal status. Dougherty criticized the subpoena as a "political s...
