🍀 This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re giving the blarney breakdown on America’s two pots of gold! Not all spending is the same - only discretionary funding goes through the Appropriations Committee. Follow the green by clicking the link. 💵 Funding go Bragh! bit.ly/4sOxSRd

TSA workers will go without a full paycheck starting tomorrow. The livelihoods of these hardworking men and women are on the line. Democrats know this. They still voted AGAINST fully funding @DHSgov and paying the personnel who keep the airports they travel through safe.

When traveling abroad, it's always a good idea to register with the STEP program listed below. If you know of any Americans who currently need assistance in the Middle East, please share the following information with them.

It was an honor to have @FBIDirectorKash in Manchester, Kentucky today to meet 150 law enforcement officers and prosecutors from across Southern and Eastern Kentucky. We hosted an appreciation lunch and panel discussion at the EKU Manchester Campus with our brave officers from local, state and federal levels.

It's another great day to be in @Ashland_KY to celebrate economic development by strengthening our infrastructure in Eastern Kentucky. We broke ground on a new Wastewater Treatment Plant this morning. It is a nearly $100 million project and the largest in the city's history. This is a great example of how local, state and federal investments can be combined to meet major needs in our communities that are essential to moving our region forward.

I was honored to join @ACPTechnologies & @exxonmobil in Ashland, Kentucky this afternoon for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate their new multi-million-dollar production facility. This pilot facility will be used to produce carbon-based materials that ExxonMobil plans to use as a precursor for battery grade graphite, strengthening the nation’s production of critical minerals for lithium-ion batteries, which can be used in electric vehicles, data centers, aerospace and defense. It’s even more exciting to know that this technology was birthed in Ashland by a native of Grayson, Kentucky, the late Donald P. Malone. It was an honor to celebrate the fruition of his handiwork, alongside his family today! Read all the details on my website: halrogers.house.gov halrogers.house.gov/press-releases…

Lasting relationships require time and commitment – just like Article I. Before Cupid makes his rounds tomorrow, Chairman @TomColeOK04 and our Subcommittee Chairs are sharing their “cardinal rules” for love – because even serious governing leaves room for a little heart.💘

President Trump, thank you for being a champion for coal! Energizing our national security with coal-fired power will make America stronger. @POTUS

This week, House Republicans secured the final remaining federal funding bills to get all 12 across the finish line before the deadline on Jan. 30th. The last four bills, awaiting Senate votes next week, secure critical funding for Defense; Homeland Security; Transportation, Housing and Urban Development; and Labor, Health and Human Services. They also include major wins for Kentucky, including nearly $95 million more for my Community Project Funding for rural Southern and Eastern Kentucky! @HouseAppropsGOP Read all the details at: halrogers.house.gov/press-releases…

For the THIRD straight week, House Republicans are advancing FY26 appropriations — including Defense, Homeland, Transportation, and Labor-HHS. The critics said regular order couldn’t be achieved. They were WRONG.  We’re funding the Trump agenda: securing the border, deporting criminal illegal aliens, rebuilding real infrastructure, and strengthening our national defense — while spending less and restoring regular order and accountability over taxpayer dollars. PROMISES MADE. PROMISES KEPT.

Three more federal funding bills are on their way for President Trump's signature with approval from both chambers of Congress: 1. Commerce, Justice, Science 2. Energy & Water 3. Interior & Environment ✅Bolstered funding to combat drug trafficking and dismantle dangerous drug cartel networks ✅Funding for NOAA & U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) to help keep all Americans safer during severe weather ✅Vital funding to revitalize the economy of our coal communities ✅Expansion of the 10-20-30 Persistent Poverty relief program to support our communities in greatest need ✅2A protections ✅Hyde Amendment protections ✅Supporting President Trump's America First Agenda Read more at: halrogers.house.gov/press-releases… @HouseAppropsGOP

The House just passed two more federal funding bills for FY26, including Financial Services/General Government + National Security/Dept. of State ✅Saves taxpayer dollars - cuts funding by 16% ✅Reins in the IRS ✅Invests in drug control programs ✅Supports small business and disaster loans ✅Strengthens cyber defense systems ✅Eliminates dangerous Biden-era policies ✅Makes America safer Read more at: halrogers.house.gov/press-releases… @HouseAppropsGOP

The FY26 Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act is built on security, responsibility, and growth. It supports small businesses, realigns our diplomacy, and strengthens America’s posture.

H.R. 6938 robustly supports law enforcement and prioritizes the fight against fentanyl and illicit drugs.

The U.S. House just passed three more bipartisan federal funding bills, including my bill on Commerce, Justice, Science and related agencies, along with Energy and Commerce, and the bill for Interior and Environment. This comprehensive legislation puts us at the halfway mark to pass all 12 federal funding bills before the January 30th deadline. ✅Cuts wasteful spending ✅Lowers costs for American families and businesses ✅Increases accountability for government spending ✅Bolsters national security ✅Invests in American innovation ✅Restores American energy dominance Read details here: halrogers.house.gov/press-releases... @HouseAppropsGOP

I applaud President Trump for taking decisive action to dismantle the narco-terrorist regime in Venezuela, led by its President Nicolas Maduro. Our brave military service members have shown extreme excellence in accomplishing this historic mission, and I salute each one of our heroes. For years, we have battled an epidemic of deadly drugs flooding into our American communities from Venezuela, and this is a monumental display of US force against the cartels and dictators who pursue terrorism over peace.
