I recently met Ayinde, a Gold Star son. His mom was SSGT Lillian Clamens who was killed in Iraq, Oct 10, 2007. She was 3 days shy of coming home when a mortar struck. I was a few miles away and remembered the sadness we all felt. On Memorial Day, we remember the Clamens family.
It was an unanimous decision that the Executive Branch overreached. The Executive Branch is suppose to execute the laws, not change the intent of laws to pursue an ideological agenda. SCOTUS is rightfully reining in the power of the President.
In the wake of the ruling, Administrator @EPAMichaelRegan said he was “deeply disappointed that the court is taking away the EPA’s ability that has been standing for 50 years,” while President Joe Biden said it “will take our country backwards.” http://ow.ly/tWhR50OygLA
We honored the family of Army Staff Sergeant Lillian Clamens of Omaha, who was tragically killed in Iraq in 2007, with copies of my Congressional Record speech honoring Lillian. We owe all our Gold Star families a debt of respect and appreciation we can never fully repay.
On 27 Apr ‘13 we lost these four airman in Afghanistan: Capt Cyr, Capt Nishizuka, SSgt Dickson and SSgt Fannin. I had been a commander of two earlier in their careers. All four had great reputations in their units. My heart goes out to all of their families on this Memorial Day.
"The President is clear in his support and the Speaker is clear in his support," says @RepDonBacon about the emerging debt ceiling deal and gathering support for it. "We're gonna get 218 votes - it just won't be from one party though." #velshi

This May, we honor a cause near and dear to my heart — National Foster Care Month. Adopting our two foster children brought so much joy to our family, and I joined my colleagues on H.Res 349 to increase awareness about issues faced by foster kids.
Welcomed correctional officers from around the world to Omaha. They face the difficult task of balancing safety with the care, custody, and dignity of the inmates under their watch. Therefore, I have cosponsored the Pay Our Correctional Officers Fairly Act.
