WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21), a senior member of the House Agriculture Committee, voted against H.R. 8646, the FY2027 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.  The bill comes at a moment when farm bankruptcies are up, and farmers need a lifeline. As farmers and growers across the San Joaquin Valley struggle with rising costs, volatile markets, and ongoing pest and disease threats, this legislation cuts overall USDA funding by more than $1 billion. It slashes conservation programs that help ranchers protect their land, cuts the agricultural research growers rely on to fight invasive pests and crop disease, and guts rural development investments that small agricultural communities depend on. 
“The San Joaquin Valley feeds America, and this bill falls short of supporting the very people who make that possible,”said Rep. Costa.”In addition to the $187 billion in cuts to SNAP included in Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, this legislation further reduces support for nutrition assistance, rural infrastructure, and economic development programs that serve working families, children, seniors, veterans, and rural communities throughout the Valley.”  
Despite his opposition, Rep. Costa fought for the San Joaquin Valley and secured real wins for everyday families. He protected funding to combat a growing pest outbreak threatening California’s grapevines and wine industry, an infestation already spreading across more than a dozen counties and reaching grocery store shelves. He preserved home loan protections for rural families buying their first home, expanded crop insurance options for farmers growing the fruits and vegetables that end up on dinner tables nationwide, and secured research funding to address the bird flu outbreak that has driven up the cost of eggs and poultry. 
Those wins, however, could not overcome the fundamental failures of this bill. Rather than building on bipartisan priorities, House Republicans chose to slash billions from the nutrition programs that feed hungry children, seniors, and veterans. They cut the conservation and research programs farmers depend on to protect their land and fight invasive pests and disease, gutted the rural infrastructure that connects and powers small communities, and inserted divisive partisan riders that have no place in an agriculture funding bill. A bill that defunds USDA while farm country is hurting, and cuts food assistance for working families is not a compromise. It is a choice, and it is the wrong one. 
The bill: 

Cuts overall USDA discretionary funding by more than $1 billion below FY2026, at a time when farmers and rural communities are already under serious economic strain.  
Cuts SNAP funding by approximately $6 billion.  
Reduces WIC funding and fruit and vegetable benefits for women and children.  Cuts funding for TEFAP, which provides food to food banks and emergency feeding programs.  
Eliminates the Healthy Food Financing Initiative.
Cuts conservation funding for farmers and ranchers by nearly 8%, reducing the technical assistance that helps producers protect their land and water.  
Eliminates the Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, which helps livestock producers manage privately owned grazing lands.
Cuts Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education by 17%, undercutting research that helps farmers stay productive and competitive.  
Cuts the Farm Service Agency budget, which provides critical loans and support to farmers facing financial hardship.
Cuts rural broadband investments by 20%.  
Cuts rural business development funding by 28%
Cuts the Rural Energy for America Program by 50%.  
Cuts water and wastewater infrastructure grants by 44%.  
Cuts Food for Peace international food aid by 25% below last year’s level.

Headline: Scott Votes Against Lebanon War Powers Resolution

WASHINGTON  – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after voting no on H.Con.Res, 84, Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from Lebanon within 7 days.

“Today, I voted against this war powers resolution, not because I support U.S. involvement in hostilities in Lebanon, but because the resolution is overly broad and would require the removal of United States Armed Forces serving in roles beyond combat operations, including personnel protecting U.S. embassies and supporting the Lebanese Armed Forces. I co-sponsored H.Con.Res. 108, which more narrowly directs the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon while preserving these critical missions. I look forward to voting in favor of that version of the resolution, which is expected to be voted on in a few weeks.”

June 05, 2026 | Press ReleasesWASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) have introduced the No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act, legislation to revoke visas from close family members of terrorists and close loopholes to prevent them from obtaining visas in the future.
“Terrorists and their families should not be allowed to take advantage of our immigration system and live comfortably in the United States,” said Rep. Greg Steube. “If you are related to someone who has committed acts of terrorism against Americans, you should not be welcomed into our country. The No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act puts Americans’ safety first and closes this dangerous loophole.”
“Relatives of terrorists have no business being in our country. My bill would revoke visas from family members of terrorists to keep Americans safer,” said Senator Tom Cotton.
“America must never be a safe haven for the families of terrorists who seek to exploit our immigration system while promoting anti-American and antisemitic extremism. I am proud to support the No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act which closes dangerous loopholes that have allowed relatives of designated terrorists to legally reside in the United States such as those tied to the Islamic Regime of Iran and Hamas,” said Chairwoman Elise Stefanik.
In addition to Sen. Cotton and Chairwoman Stefanik, this legislation is also co-sponsored by Reps. Byron Donalds, Wesley Hunt, and Barry Moore.
The No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act would revoke existing visas from terrorists’ close family members and prohibit them from obtaining future visas. This legislation would create a permanent ground of inadmissibility preventing spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews of designated terrorists from receiving visas or immigrating to the United States.
The legislation also requires the Secretary of State to revoke any existing visa held by a covered family member within 30 days after determining that the family member is inadmissible. By closing this loophole, the No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act ensures terrorists’ close family members cannot use America’s immigration system to gain entry into or remain in the United States.
Background: Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani’s niece and grandniece, known for spreading anti-American and pro-terror propaganda, were allowed to legally reside in the United States on visas for years.
Current U.S. immigration law does not automatically prohibit close family members of designated terrorists from obtaining tourist, student, or work visas. Therefore, relatives of individuals responsible for terrorism against the United States and its allies have been able to enter and remain in the country.

Washington, DC — Today, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI) released the following statement on the ongoing conflicts in Lebanon and Iran:

“Michigan is home to one of the most vibrant Lebanese communities in our country. Like the vast majority of Americans, they want Trump’s war in Iran and the conflict in Lebanon to end and for our leaders to focus on improving their lives, lowering costs, taking on Trump’s abuses of power, and keeping them safe.

“Long-term peace in the Middle East is and must always be our goal through coordinated diplomatic efforts. We owe it to the people of Lebanon and Michigan’s Lebanese communities to continue to support and strengthen diplomatic partnerships between our two countries, and to end the suffering of innocent civilians.

“The small number of U.S. forces stationed in Lebanon are there to protect our embassy in Beirut, assist with Lebanon’s military training and readiness, and help Lebanon prevent Hezbollah, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda-linked violence so that innocent civilians may have the opportunity to live in peace. The resolution I voted against today, alongside over 115 of my Democratic colleagues, would put U.S. embassy personnel at risk and interfere with our efforts to fight terrorism across the globe.

“While I have newfound hope seeing reports of a ceasefire in Lebanon, the prospect of peace now rests on Hezbollah upholding their end of the bargain and ending the violence. In the meantime, I will support U.S. humanitarian aid into Lebanon, continue to call for an end to Trump’s Iran war, and stand with Lebanese Americans as I always have in the Congress.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | CONTACT: Olivia Porcaro 202-225-6165

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) voted in favor of H.R. 8646, the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for the Fiscal Year 2027. This legislation funds the United States Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Commodity Future Trading Commission. After voting in favor of the legislation, Congressman Cole released the following statement:

“As the representative for over 13,000 farms and ranches in Oklahoma’s Fourth District alone, I know this to be true: when American agriculture is strong, America is strong. Today’s Agriculture funding bill recognizes that simple truth,” said Congressman Cole.

“This legislation supports our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. It invests in research to keep our nation’s agriculture industry competitive and in food safety through important inspection resources and protecting American agriculture from foreign pests and diseases. The bill reinforces America First principles by advancing ‘MAHA’ priorities and ending Biden-era regulations and Climate Corps funding. It strengthens rural communities, so many of which I represent in Oklahoma, by prioritizing funding for home ownership loans, broadband investments, and infrastructure development. On top of that, the bill tightens oversight of foreign purchases of agricultural land, reinforcing critical national security priorities,” said Congressman Cole.

“From the farm to the dinner table, the FY-27 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act puts the American people first and I am proud to have voted in favor of it today,” said Congressman Cole.

Key Provisions Secured for Oklahoma in the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for the Fiscal Year 2027

• $35 million for the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Operations Program, which will help support the over 2,100 watersheds in Oklahoma and enhance their flood control efforts. $10 million of these dollars are specifically for states, like Oklahoma, specializing in corrugated metal pipe projects.
• $3 million for the Watershed Rehabilitation Program.
• $50 million loan authorization level for the Rural Energy for America Program. 20% of this is allocated for distributed wind investments, supporting small wind operations in Oklahoma.
• $271 million, which is a $36 million increase over the enacted number, for the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. Oklahoma has the highest participation in this program out of any state, so this increased funding will help the over 20,000 tribal citizens in the state have access to food assistance.
• Over $1.5 billion for the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to conduct research, education, and extension activities which support our nation’s land-grant universities like Oklahoma State University, Langston University, and the College of Muscogee Creek, execute agricultural innovation and advancements.
• $435 million for the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative.
• $3 million for research developments focusing on Oklahoma initiatives such as wheat breeding, wildfire prevention, barley resiliency, and biosecurity.
• $24 million for the Circuit Rider Program, which helps support the over 3,000 technical assistance visits that Oklahoma Rural Water Association circuit riders carry out each year.
• $481.5 million for the Emergency Food Assistance Program.
• $14 million for the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment and Services Grant Program, which will help the over 60 counties in Oklahoma experiencing veterinarian shortages.
• $115.5 million for Cattle Health with $10 million specifically for the New World Screwworm initiative and an increase of $700,000 for Asian Longhorned Tick outreach and education efforts.
• $410.8 million increase for food safety state inspections to ensure states, like Oklahoma, are receiving proper reimbursements for meat and poultry inspection programs.

Washington, D.C.  – Today, Congressmen Jerrold Nadler (NY-12) Dan Goldman (NY-10) released the following statement following their vote against H.Con.Res.84:

Today we voted no on H.Con.Res.84, a war powers resolution dealing with the current conflict in Lebanon. We opposed this resolution because it would establish a dangerous precedent in the interpretation of the War Powers Resolution, but let us be clear: Our vote today should not be taken as an approval of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s prosecution of Israel’s military action in Lebanon.

Regardless of the intentions of this resolution, it is predicated upon a premise that is both flawed in its theory and dangerous in its application. The key legal trigger for war powers resolutions is demonstrating that the United States is engaging in “hostilities” in the context of a particular conflict. However, this resolution failed to include even that most basic standard in its drafting. To the extent that American armed forces are present in Lebanon, it is to support the current Lebanese government, which deserves our assistance.

The assertion that general intelligence sharing alone constitutes engaging in “hostilities” is without merit. Critically, implementing such a standard would create a dangerous precedent around the world — implicating the United States in every conflict that includes any party with whom the United States shares intelligence. Such a proposition is as naïve as it is dangerous to American national security and global stability.

Our vote today was not to absolve Netanyahu of responsibility, nor was it to approve of the prosecution of the war in Lebanon. Indeed, when H.Con.Res. 108 – a war powers resolution that targets substantiated “hostilities” that may arise in Lebanon – comes to the floor, we intend to vote in favor.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore yesterday applauded President Donald J. Trump and the U.S. Department of Energy’s decision to build a new coal-fired power plant in West Virginia’s Second Congressional District. DOE’s selection of the TerraSpark Energy Campus under its Coal-Based Power and Energy Infrastructure initiative will bring nearly 1,000 high-quality jobs to the district and marks a major step toward realizing President Trump’s vision for American energy dominance.

The DOE’s selection of the TerraSpark project represents a significant milestone for West Virginia and reinforces the state’s position as a national leader in energy production. The TerraSpark Energy Campus will leverage West Virginia’s abundant coal reserves and next-generation energy technology to provide reliable and affordable electricity and ensure that America’s future is coal-fired.

Congressman Moore has been a strong advocate for policies that support American energy production, strengthen the nation’s electric grid, and revitalize the coal industry as the cornerstone of U.S. energy security. As electricity demand continues to rise from advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and data center development, projects like TerraSpark will help ensure the United States has the reliable baseload power necessary to remain globally competitive while reducing dependence on foreign energy sources.

Congressman Moore continues working with federal, state, and local partners to advance projects that create jobs, strengthen American energy security, and unleash the full potential of West Virginia’s energy resources.

Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement:

“I want to thank President Trump for being the first president in my lifetime to prioritize America’s coal industry and recognize the vital role that beautiful, clean coal plays in our nation’s energy future. The TerraSpark Energy Campus, which will bring nearly 1,000 high-quality jobs back to my district, is exactly the kind of energy project that will help unleash our nation’s abundant natural resources and deliver on President Trump’s vision for American energy dominance. TerraSpark will provide affordable, reliable electricity to power America’s industrial resurgence, strengthen our nation’s energy security, drive down energy prices for West Virginians, and sends a message that America’s future is coal-fired.”

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) delivered remarks at a press conference after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2913, the Ukraine Support Act. Below are a video and transcript of his remarks:

Click here to watch a video of his remarks.

“This is a good day. It’s a good day for Ukraine. It’s a good day for America. It’s a good day for those who oppose tyranny. It is a good day. It has a message for the Ukrainian people that we’re with you. At the outset, let me say that the vote was 227 to 191. But I want to tell the Ukrainian people, of those 191 votes not for this bill, the overwhelming number of those people are for Ukraine. I’m sorry they didn’t see fit to vote for this bill, but I’m glad they are with Ukraine. And the Ranking, the Chairman of the [House Foreign Affairs] Committee said eloquently, he was against Putin, and he was for Ukraine.

“So, the message today is we got the votes to act, and we got the votes to act because of some courageous Republicans. Because the vote in there was, ‘Are you standing with Trump, who has not wanted to say anything?’ Not whether you’re standing for Ukraine. Those who voted for it wanted Ukraine to know we are with you. We are with you in this fight and we believe you must win this fight – for yourselves, for your country, for your sovereignty, for your families, but also for all the rest of us who love freedom, and who oppose tyranny, and who believe in international law. And so, it’s a good day for Ukraine. And very frankly, Ukraine is making a lot of good days for itself, Madam Ambassador, with their courage, with their tenacity, with their faith in their fellow Ukrainians and their leadership and in themselves. So, I am very pleased to be here with my colleagues.

“This was never a Republican or Democratic issue. Freedom is a word that everybody should support. And I think everybody does support in the House of Representatives. We see it differently from time to time, but it was important for us to say it. It was important for us to have a vote on this Floor. And Marcy Kaptur, the Co-Chair of the [Congressional Ukraine] Caucus, has kept it alive every day of her service, of Ukrainian background and great knowledge. So, I now want to yield – not yet to the Ambassador, who I’m going to introduce in just a minute – but I want to reference three people: Don Bacon, Kevin Kiley, Mr. Fitzpatrick from the great state of Pennsylvania, who have been [here] – particularly two of them – from the beginning. And but for their efforts, we would not have gotten there. And but for Mr. Kiley’s courage, it would not have happened. So, I thank the three of them, and I yield to my friend Colonel Bacon and Brian Fitzpatrick and Kevin Kiley.”

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) and U.S. Representatives Gregory W. Meeks (NY-05), Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) and Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Co-Chairs of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus; Bill Keating (MA-09), Ranking Member of the Europe Subcommittee; Don Bacon (NE-02); and Kevin Kiley (CA-03) today issued the following statement on the passage of the bipartisan Ukraine Support Act, the first comprehensive legislation to support Ukraine and impose sanctions on Russia to pass the House in the 119th Congress.

“Today’s vote was a victory for Ukraine, for the United States, for freedom, and for international law.  It was made possible because Democrats and Republicans came together behind an effort that is bigger than partisan politics – it’s about whether our nation will hold firm to its ideals and stand up for democracy, and I thank my Republican colleagues who joined us.  The people of Ukraine are demonstrating that they have what it takes to win this war and outlast what Vladimir Putin can throw at them.  But they cannot do it alone.  Europe has stepped up, and America has been a critical partner – but we have not approved a major Ukraine-assistance package since 2024.  It’s time for the Senate to follow the House and act quickly on this $8 billion in security assistance and broad, sweeping sanctions so Ukrainians can continue to push ahead toward victory,” said Rep. Hoyer. 

“Inaction on Ukraine ends now. Today’s bipartisan vote to pass the Ukraine Support Act demonstrates that the House stands with the Ukrainian people and that we will hold the criminal Russian regime accountable for its illegal war. I thank my Democratic colleagues and my Republican colleagues who’ve co-sponsored this bill, without whom this vote would not have been possible. And I especially thank the Ukrainian American community and all those Americans standing with Ukraine, for their tireless efforts to see this bill move forward. Now the Senate must follow suit, and work with our bipartisan group in the House to deliver the most comprehensive package possible to the President’s desk for his immediate signature,” said Ranking Member Meeks.

“Putin is counting on America to grow tired, divided, and distracted. Today, with a historic bipartisan vote, the House sent the opposite message,” said Fitzpatrick, Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. “Ukraine is fighting for its sovereignty and survival, but the stakes do not stop at Ukraine’s borders. Standing with Ukraine is a matter of American security, allied strength, and moral clarity—and it tells the world that aggression will not be met with hesitation or retreat. From the start of Russia’s illegal war of terror, I have worked to ensure America’s policy is rooted in peace through strength: equipping Ukraine to win, holding Putin accountable, and ensuring brutality never becomes leverage. This legislation gives force to that principle, and I am grateful to my colleagues in the House who stood with us on the side of freedom. Now, the Senate must do the same.”

“The Ukraine Support Act which the House passed today with Democratic, Republican, and Independent support was a choice between Liberty and Tyranny. Our Free World must stand tall against tyrants, not mollycoddle them. Liberty is not negotiable, It is fundamental,” said Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. “The war-torn people of Ukraine are not asking for charity, they’re asking for US partnership with that of our closest allies in the European Union. Today we said loud and clear: we stand with Ukraine, we need sanctions on Russia, and we will always stand by our allies. I urge the Senate to take up this legislation with haste and help us reassure our allies around the world of America’s unwavering commitment to Liberty loving people everywhere. If we do not, the next strategic reality we will face is defending our interests against an emboldened armed, expansionist Russia at a much, much higher cost.”

“The importance of Ukraine’s success against Russia’s war of aggression cannot be overstated. We should be assisting them because it is the right thing to do, but at the very least, we are obligated to do it in accordance with the Budapest Memorandum. Passage of the Ukraine Support Act would demonstrate the House’s continued support for Ukraine and condemnation of Russia. Critically, this bill includes billions in additional military assistance and comprehensive Russia sanctions,” said Ranking Member Keating. “I am proud to have co-led the introduction of this legislation and greatly appreciate the strong bipartisan support this bill received from Democratic and Republican members of the House. I urge the Senate to take it up so the United States can continue to support our ally Ukraine in their defense against Russian aggression.”

“Tonight, the House faced a Churchill vs. Chamberlain moment. Stand on the side of freedom and democracy, or show weakness to an invading thug who wants to restore Russian domination over a free people. Tonight, we chose Churchill,” said Rep. Bacon. “In 2024, I visited Ukraine and witnessed firsthand the devastation and cruelty that Russia has inflicted on the Ukrainian people. That trip and the courage of the Ukrainians have bolstered my belief that America must continue to support Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s brutal invasion, and the bipartisan vote this evening proves that support still exists here in Congress. I strongly urge the Senate to take up and pass this legislation without delay to provide Ukraine the military aid it needs to win and impose tough sanctions that further isolate and punish Putin.”

“I provided the decisive signature to force a vote on the Ukraine Support Act because the time for Congress to act is now. Today, in a bipartisan way, we made it clear that the United States will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people and provide the material support necessary for their self-defense. We made it equally clear that Russia will pay a severe price for its unprovoked aggression and ongoing violence. This is the leverage needed for constructive negotiations to end this conflict. This is what is required for peace,” said Rep. Kiley.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore today applauded House passage of H.R. 8646, the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2027, which funds critical agriculture, rural development, food safety, nutrition, and public health priorities while reducing federal spending by $380 million below the Fiscal Year 2026 enacted level. The bill also includes nearly $3 million in Community Project Funding that Rep. Moore secured for critical projects across the Second Congressional District.

Specifically, the legislation provides $22.5 billion for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, $7.1 billion for the Food and Drug Administration, $3.8 billion for Rural Development programs, $8 billion for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, and $101.2 billion in mandatory SNAP funding. 

In addition to advancing America First agriculture policies, the legislation strengthens oversight of foreign ownership of U.S. farmland, increases inspections of foreign drug manufacturing facilities in China and India, supports the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda, and eliminates funding for climate hubs and the Climate Corps.

Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement:

“America’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities are the backbone of our nation, and this bill delivers the resources they need. This legislation also strengthens our food supply, protects American farmland from foreign adversaries, supports rural development, and advances President Trump’s America First agenda. I’m also proud to have secured nearly $3 million in funding for two important projects in West Virginia through this bill that will help improve quality of life and strengthen local communities across our state.”

The legislation includes funding for the following West Virginia projects championed by Congressman Moore:

• $1,973,344 for the Clarksburg Public Safety Complex. The Clarksburg Public Safety Complex is a strategically vital infrastructure investment for the 2nd Congressional District of West Virginia. Located along the Route 50/Emily Drive corridor and the I-79 artery, this project establishes a 7,500 SF Fire Hall, a 2,500 SF Police Training Facility, and specialized outdoor training grounds. This facility permanently closes a documented emergency response gap for the region’s highest-density commercial zone and the underserved East End neighborhood. Crucially, the project solidifies an operational partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Under an active Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the complex provides a secure, federal-standard environment—featuring Electronic Target Systems and a 40-person training classroom—for joint federal-local training and high-stakes incident response along a critical national artery.
• $929,723 for the Doddridge / Ritchie County 911 EOD Interoperability Enhancement, Infrastructure Resiliency, and Hardening Project. Upgrading our EOC’s communication infrastructure to provide enhanced coverage, interoperability, and enhanced reliability and security.

The FY27 Agriculture-FDA Appropriations Act now advances to the Senate for consideration.
