    Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee.

  • Progressive Foreign Policy Debrief Intel for Advocacy
    Progressive Foreign Policy Debrief Intel for Advocacy THE ACTUAL STATE OF THE UNION When Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union speech next week, the audience looking back at him in the House chamber will look quite different from the one he spoke to last year. Indeed, the 116th Congress is the most diverse in U.S. history, with most newly elected members having little interest in running cover for a president mired in scandal and swaddled with corruption, or assisting him in enacting his radical right-wing agenda. On foreign policy, we can safely assume that during the speech Trump will, for example, baselessly fear-monger about Iran and lie about the nuclear deal, hype a non-existent security crisis at the southern border, or perhaps even try to lay the groundwork for a U.S. military intervention in Venezuela (and we can be sure he won’t say anything about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi). And if Trump’s recent spat with his own senior intelligence advisers is any indication, ​ ​ whatever national security issue he chooses to address will have little relation to any kind of observable reality. Thankfully, those in the audience sitting across from him are the antidote to Trump’s untethered and disastrous policies that have only made us less safe. And in just 4 short weeks, they’ve have already begun to make their mark on U.S. foreign policy: ENDING THE WAR IN YEMEN Sens. Mike Lee, Chris Murphy, and Bernie Sanders, along with Reps. Ro Khanna and Mark Pocan announced this week during a joint press conference their intention to introduce ​ ​ ​ companion Senate and House war powers resolutions ending the U.S.

  • October 30, 2020 the Honorable Mazie Hirono 261 Russell
    October 30, 2020 The Honorable Mazie Hirono 261 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Hirono: On behalf of the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA), the national organization representing the 268 accredited PA education programs in the United States, we are writing to commend your leadership following the recent reintroduction of the Health Equity and Accountability Act (HEAA). We applaud your efforts to improve health workforce diversity, support training opportunities for PA students, and combat health disparities through the HEAA and are fully committed to collaboration to advance these shared priorities. As the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged communities across the country and exacerbated long-standing health disparities, the investments proposed by the HEAA to improve workforce diversity have become increasingly critical. Historically, underrepresented minority (URM) students have faced formidable barriers to entry for health professions education, thereby limiting health workforce diversity. This threatens the capacity of the future workforce to provide culturally competent care reflective of the needs of the communities they serve, and improving access to PA education for URM students is a top PAEA priority. To this end, we applaud the inclusion of provisions in the HEAA such as direct funding to historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and other minority-serving institutions to support counseling and mentoring initiatives for URM students seeking to pursue careers in the health professions. We also appreciate the inclusion of significant supplementary funding for workforce development programs under Title VII of the Public Health Service Act that promote workforce diversity such as Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students and the Health Careers Opportunity Program.

Biden and his deputies have long been at odds with members of Congress on the pipeline, known as Nord Stream 2, with lawmakers overwhelmingly approving a slate of mandatory sanctions aimed at crippling the pipeline over geopolitical and environmental concerns. Advertisement The president waived many of those sanctions earlier this year as part of his broader efforts to repair transatlantic alliances with countries like Germany, which has been pushing for Nord Stream 2 to be completed. And on Wednesday, the U.S. and Germany announced a deal aimed at mollifying Ukraine, which stands to lose the most from the pipeline’s completion. “I’m not happy about it,” said Sen.

This long overdue investment will drive economic recovery, help address racial and economic inequities in college completion rates and increase overall educational attainment. The Pell Grant program is the nation’s foundational investment in higher education. In Connecticut, Pell Grants help nearly 80,000 low- and moderate-income students attend and complete college annually. Students attending every institution on this letter from every city in our state rely on the Pell Grant program to build their future. Pell Grants are especially critical for students of color, with nearly 60 percent of Black students, half of American Indian or Alaska Native students, and nearly half of Latinx students receiving a Pell Grant each year. However, the share of college costs covered by the grant is at an all-time low.
