@SenBillCassidy @AmeriCorps Thank you @SenBillCassidy for standing up for the dedicated @AmeriCorps members who are serving Louisiana communities and communities around the country. Your leadership is deeply appreciated.

Getting various reports that DOGE RIFs at @AmeriCorps are being extended to the cancelation of Congressionally appropriated grants. Attempting to get more information from DOGE/OMB to confirm or disprove these reports.   I support improving efficiency and eliminating waste, but I would have to object to cutting AmeriCorps grants like those that support Louisiana’s veterans and organizations that provide crucial support after hurricanes and natural disasters. I will continue to work with our state leaders and the Trump administration to improve efficiency and accountability to the American taxpayer while maintaining the resources that provide immense value to our state.
