Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nonfarm payroll employment decreased by 92,000 jobs in February:
"Month after month, the data shows Donald Trump's economy is failing American families. The job market is weakening, costs remain high, and Trump'sillegal tariff taxes continue to hurt businesses and workers.
Trump and his allies in Congress know their agenda isn't working. Instead of helping working families, they are pushing more tariff taxes and more tax breaks for billionaires. It is clear Republicans in Washington simply do not care about working families."

Khanna Warns U.S. Must Strengthen Strategy on China After Economy Loses 92,000 Jobs
Today, Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, issued the following statement in response to the Labor Department's latest report showing the U.S. economylost 92,000 jobs last month.
"Today's report on job losses is yet another warning sign that President Trump's chaos on the world stage is hitting the U.S. economy and hurting American workers. Instead of pursuing a steady and strategic approach to competition with China, his unpredictable stance towards our greatest economic adversary is injecting confusion into global markets and supply chains that the American people depend on.
American businesses and workers should not be collateral damage in geopolitical spontaneity. A stable, coordinated strategy toward China is essential to protecting U.S. jobs and strengthening the American economy."

"After a markup that lasted over 20 hours, the legislation reflects the will of the committee, and it is filled with bipartisan provisions that will move the needle for farmers, ranchers, and rural Americans across the country.
"Throughout this markup, it became clearer than ever before that our country needs a new farm bill, and we don't need it next year, or next Congress. We need it now. I look forward to working in good faith with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we move toward a final vote on the House floor."

Chairman Crawford Delivers Opening Statement at Hearing on CI Screening & Vetting
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford (AR-01) delivered the following unclassified opening statement at a closed hearing on counterintelligence screening, vetting, and watchlisting.
Nearly a decade ago, President Trump's first Administration recognized the importance of identity intelligence when he issuedNational Security Presidential Memoranda 7 and 9.
These memoranda directed federal agencies to integrate threat actor information, break down stovepipes, and ensure comprehensive screening and vetting in furtherance of border security, homeland security, and public safety.
The premise of President Trump's directive was straightforward: identity resolution, integrated data sharing, and discoverability are prerequisites to national security.
Despite this clear direction, the Intelligence Community's progress on the counterintelligence category of NSPM 7 is in doubt. That is the reason for our hearing.
The core question before us is whether the United States currently possesses a structured, discoverable, continuously updated body of knowledge about foreign intelligence threat actors.
To the extent that such knowledge exists, we need to know if it is governed by clear, enforceable, and repeatable standards and appropriate information sharing frameworks.
I hope you have good news for us today because since President Trump issued his directives in 2017, the CI threat environment has worsened. Some believe it is worse now than at any time during the Cold War.
I want to speak briefly about the problem our nation faces and communicate some home truths, which I hope you will take back to your leadership.
The reality, we as a government are going to have to face, is that the United States is a contested domain.
The homeland is quite literally overrun with counterintelligence and foreign operational threats and we, as a nation, lack the resources and capabilities to address them.
In short, I don't think we have a homefield advantage anymore. In fact, I believe we have an easier time detecting Chinese and other threats against our allies than we do within the United States. I also believe many responsible officials are living in denial about what is going on around us.
Technology has quickly transformed the threat environment. Drones are a good example of this. They can be used to collect information, can be used to enable sabotage or they can be used for kinetic attack. We see this threat every day. Public reporting has documented incursions of unidentified drones at classified facilities across the nation and low-cost drone swarms are being used in combat in Europe and the Middle East.
Compounding this, the border crisis introduced a profound and still-unquantified vulnerability.
Estimates suggest that among the millions who entered illegally, hundreds of thousands-- including nationals from adversary states--received very little to no scrutiny and whose identities, affiliations, and intentions remain unknown to this day.
Foreign intelligence services exploit precisely this kind of seam. They operate continuously and below criminal thresholds -- to steal research, penetrate industry, cultivate insiders across government and the private sector, map critical infrastructure, conduct reconnaissance, and preposition for sabotage.
They move through layered networks of facilitators, shell companies, academic placements, witting and unwitting sources, and real estate acquisitions.
The threat is not a single catastrophic event. It is cumulative erosion of security-- each incident appearing isolated while the underlying vulnerability remains systemic.
The United States is hemorrhaging national security information, research, advanced technology, and as a result we are losing our strategic advantage.
Screening, vetting, and watchlisting are not administrative exercises. They are a core component of national security and to maintaining our strategic advantage.
There are too many threats that we aren't detecting today and we can't credibly defend our nation if we can't see threats.

"The President's Cyber Strategy - barely 3 pages of substance - is impressively underachieving, even by the abysmal standards this Administration has set for itself.What little 'substance' does exist in this pamphlet is a mishmash of vague platitudes, a long catalogue of 'we will' statements that may or may not match the Administration's current behavior, and, mercifully, an apparent extension of some Biden-era policies. Completely lacking is even the most basic blueprint for how the Administration will go about achieving any of its cybersecurity goals - an objective possibly hamstrung by the hemorrhage in cyber talent across all Federal agencies since Trump took office.
"Cybersecurity is a national security imperative, and we need better leadership than this. I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to enact the laws and policies necessary to keep America's digital ecosystem secure and resilient."

Capital Markets Subcommittee Examines the Role of Self-Regulatory Organizations in U.S. Markets
Yesterday, the Subcommittee on Capital Markets, chaired by Rep. Ann Wagner (MO-02), evaluated the accountability, efficiency, and transparency of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
On Transparency and Accountability of Self-Regulatory Organizations:
Subcommitteeon Capital Markets Chairman Wagner said, "A recurring concern from smaller broker dealers and municipal advisors is that enforcement by Self-Regulatory Organizations, or SROs, can feel punitive rather than corrective. If the S in SRO reflects industry stewardship, incentives within the system should encourage compliance outcomes, not simply deterrence through enforcement."
Subcommittee on National Security, Illicit Finance, and International Financial Institutions Chairman Warren Davidson (OH-08) said, "FINRA exercises regulatory authority over thousands of firms, yet it is not subject to the Administrative Procedures Act, FOIA, or direct congressional appropriations. So members of this committee have had similar concerns about the structure of the Federal Reserve, for example."
Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (MI-09) said, "Today, FINRA staff, not industry members, writes binding rules, investigates people, brings enforcement cases, holds hearings, issues large fines and can permanently end someone's career. Yet, FINRA is not subject to the same transparency laws as federal agencies. Its meetings are not fully open. Its records are not fully public. Now, if an organization exercises government level power, it should have government level accountability."
Rep. Marlin Stutzman (IN-03) said, "Hoosiers understand that the federal government has become increasingly bloated and unaccountable. President Trump is restoring that accountability, but I think it's also important for Congress to examine the self-regulatory organizations. Just because they aren't government agencies doesn't mean that they should be unaccountable and opaque to the industries they regulate and the American people."
On Governance and Structural Changes:
Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence Chairman Bryan Steil (WI-01) said, "Congress tasked the MSRB with both industry rulemaking and creating a data repository. A significant part of the board's budget and staff time are devoted solely to the technology development side of that ledger, it appears. And some have raised concerns that MSRB looks a little bit more like a tech company than a regulator."
Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17) said, "The SRO framework Congress created in 1934 reflected a very different marketplace, one with slower trading, fewer products, and far less automation. Today's markets operate at a scale and speed that would have been unimaginable at that time. That raises a fundamental question about whether the statutory foundation for SRO still fits the modern environment, or whether Congress needs to revisit the model."
Rep. Andrew Garbarino (NY-02) said, "For the first 35 years after Congress created the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, there was no statutory requirement that a majority of the board be made up of public members. That changed in 2010, when Dodd-Frank required that a majority of the MSRB's board come from the public sector. Legislation before us today, the MSRB Reform Act, would revisit that requirement and change the board's composition."
Witnesses Echoed the Work of the Committee:
Mr. Onnig Dombalagian, Professor of Law, Tulane University School of Law said, "There are concrete steps Congress could take in the short term to reinforce FINRA's effectiveness within the current self-regulatory paradigm. One of the principal areas of concern is the continuing asymmetry between the regulation of broker-dealers and other financial services providers. Congress could give FINRA, through the SEC, enhanced authority to coordinate collection and dissemination of information through BrokerCheck regarding the disciplinary history of all securities and financial professionals, including, for example, investment advisers and insurance professionals. Such authority, in tandem with initiatives to standardize and preserve the integrity of the information provided through BrokerCheck, would provide invaluable information to investors and consumers of financial services."
Ms. Valerie Mirko, Partner & Leader of Securities Regulation and Litigation, Armstrong Teasdale LLP said, "FINRA's authority to enforce--which exists pursuant to delegated authority--effectively allows FINRA to terminate a person's or firm's ability to operate in the industry, which in turn raises significant property and reputational interests that necessitate careful consideration and government protection of fairness and due process. As the regulatory landscape currently stands, firms cannot be expelled without SEC review and approval. Individual bars of industry representatives are not subject to the same level of regulatory scrutiny. Once FINRA has rendered a decision to bar an individual from the industry, that sanction becomes effective immediately. Therefore, individuals are not able to obtain a stay absent persuading the SEC to grant extraordinary relief to stay the effectiveness pending the completion of the Commission's review. Because SEC review is an integral component of the statutory oversight framework, the absence of a uniform automatic stay across all industry expulsions rendered by FINRA can result in irreversible professional and economic harm prior to final SEC review. Even if a sanction is later modified or reversed, the interim deprivation may not be fully remediable."
Mr. Mike Nicholas, Chief Executive Officer, Bond Dealers of America said, "On governance: the MSRB board includes seats for non-dealer municipal advisors--firms that advise issuers but do not underwrite or trade. We do not object to municipal advisors having representation. But as a group, municipal advisors contribute only a small fraction of total MSRB fee revenue - 6% in 2025, while broker-dealers pay the vast majority. That imbalance between fee contribution and board influence is a structural problem that has persisted and has been unaddressed for years. Municipal advisor board members participate in decisions about budget priorities, technology investments, and rulemaking that fall disproportionately on dealers who bear most of the cost. This is not equitable, and it helps explain the resource allocation problems we have described."

"Not Sustainable for Our National Security": Homeland Republicans Urge Democrats to End Their DHS Shutdown on House Floor
This week, House Committee on Homeland Security Republicans took to the floor of the House of Representatives to urge final passage of full-year funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as we approach week four of a partial government shutdown. For the second time this year, House Republicans advanced thebipartisan Fiscal Year 2026 DHS appropriations bill, with all but a few House Democrats voting against it. Senate Democrats continue to block this long-term funding, even as America and the West face a heightened threat landscape amid military conflict with Iran and as we near the 2026 FIFA World Cup on U.S. soil.
Watch Chairman Andrew Garbarino's (R-NY) remarks on the House floor this week here and listen to his interview on Fox News here.
Watch Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA) deliver remarks on the House floor.
"For nearly three weeks, the key pieces of the Department of Homeland Security have been shut down, and families face uncertainty about their paychecks. This is happening because some in this chamber are choosing to play politics at a time when the work of DHS staff is urgently needed, and despite having negotiated this bipartisan agreement themselves. Today, some DHS components are operating at limited capacity. Trainings are halted, long-term planning is paused, and only bare-minimum essential services are being continued. This is not sustainable for our national security."
"TSA officers stand on the frontlines every single day to secure our skies, yet they're working without paychecks. The Coast Guard can fully execute marine security, if they had funding, but search and rescue operations, drug interdiction missions--all of those are in jeopardy because, again, of the opposition from the other side. FEMA's disaster response and recovery efforts are scaled back as severe weather and emergencies approach. CISA, our nation's cyber defense agency, is operating at limited capacity during heightened global tensions. The Secret Service faces constraints in protecting our leaders... It's time to put the politics aside, support the men and women who protect our nation, prioritize that safety of the American people, and that means ending this shutdown, passing the bill, and fully restoring the operational readiness of the Department of Homeland Security."
Watch Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC) deliver remarks on the House floor.
"At a time when the threat of terrorism is real and it's rising, those on the other side of the aisle have left the agency responsible for protecting our homeland just hanging out to dry for nearly a month... DHS works to stop terrorist threats. DHS supports the law enforcement officers who keep our community safe. And letting it stay shut down--it's reckless. Stop the partisan games and protect Americans. Mr. Speaker, this issue is personal for me. I am a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, and I still currently serve. And should I be called up, my go bag is packed and ready. Serving as a medical crew director in the back of an aircraft in hostile environments, I've looked wounded service members in their eyes as I cared for them."
"For nearly 50 years, the Iranian regime fueled terrorism. It backed proxy militias and threatened Americans and our allies. Their chants of death to America have never been symbolic. They've been backed by violence and a relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons... Russia is watching. China is watching. Every adversary testing Americans' resolve is watching. There is peace through strength. It protects American lives, and it keeps our country safe."
Watch Rep. Vince Fong (R-CA) deliver remarks on the House floor.
"As congressional Democrats continue to play partisan games, they are weakening our cybersecurity operations, disrupting critical intelligence sharing, forcing public servants supporting our national security to go without pay, including critical personnel from TSA who work every day to prevent terror attacks and FEMA who support our communities in the wake of disasters. This is the second time in the past four months that TSA workers are working without pay. During the last shutdown, TSA saw increased rates of unscheduled absences and localized spikes in wait times, which are expected again during the shutdown as spring travel begins to rise. In my home state of California, we continue preparations to host major international events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which begins this coming June, followed by the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. The World Cup will be the largest sporting event in history, with upwards of five million international fans traveling to the United States. The safety and success of these global events hinge on DHS's ability to maintain mission readiness. The longer this partial shutdown continues, the weaker our ability to prepare for these events becomes. To delay any longer is to risk the lives of countless Americans and millions of international visitors alike."
BACKGROUND:
In January, the House passed six final appropriations bills, including the first passage of the bipartisan agreement to fund DHS for a full fiscal year. The legislation provided funding for body cameras, de-escalation training, and resources for DHS's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to enhance transparency. Additionally, the House-passed version included vital funding to support the personnel and missions of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Coast Guard, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and more.
During a shutdown, many of the Department's more than 250,000 employees, who dedicate their lives to keeping the American people safe, are forced to work without pay. In February, House Homeland Security Committee and Appropriations Committee Republicans issued statements condemning Senate Democrats' actions, warning that the funding lapse puts the safety and security of Americans at risk.
In the Committee's February oversight hearing, leaders from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) all testified that a DHS shutdown would undermine interagency coordination and hinder the department's ability to effectively carry out its core mission. The Committee also held a hearing with FIFA host city and law enforcement stakeholders for the World Cup, who raised concerns about the potential impacts of the ongoing shutdown and federal funding delays on security preparations for these events. The House Appropriations Committee's Homeland Security Subcommittee also held a hearing in February on the impacts of a shutdown for DHS, where leaders from FEMA, TSA, CISA, and the U.S. Coast Guard emphasized similar concerns about the operational and security risks caused by a lapse in funding.
Numerous publications and outlets also highlighted the impacts on different DHS components:
- The shutdown may disrupt several ongoing investigations being led by the agency's Office of Inspector General, affecting the ability to conduct thorough oversight of DHS and its components.
- The current funding lapse is also the second time in the past six months that TSA workers are expected to work without pay, with more than 90 percent of the agency's employees considered essential. During the last shutdown, TSA saw "increased rates of unscheduled absences and localized spikes in wait times," which are expected again during this shutdown as spring travel begins to rise.
- CISA leaders told House appropriators that just one-third of the agency's employees would remain on the job under a shutdown, significantly impairing CISA's ability to conduct "cyber incident response, security assessments, stakeholder engagements, training exercises, and special event planning."
- During the last shutdown, "nearly 85 percent of FEMA employees" continued to work without pay, which is expected to recur with the current funding lapse. Emergency response efforts could be strained, and disaster relief reimbursements may be delayed, potentially slowing recovery efforts for affected communities.
- "More than 41,000 active-duty and activated Reserve members" of the U.S. Coast Guard are likely working without pay, even amid its historic success in securing the country's maritime borders, slowing down the flow of illicit narcotics, and conducting high-risk maritime operations to protect U.S. interests abroad.
