This week, @HouseAppropsGOP marked up several bills, even working late into the night. Additionally, the Republicans delivered another big win at the Congressional Baseball Game, and we raised millions for charity! See you next week.

It was a pleasure to meet with KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-Wun and hear her party’s views. The US-Taiwan relationship is a cornerstone of a free and open Indo-Pacific. I will continue to work with my colleagues to partner with Taiwan in working towards a more secure and prosperous future.

Our small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. Their entrepreneurial spirit is what drives America towards a better future. I appreciated meeting with @NFIB members to discuss how government and private resources can come together to win for the American people.

Great to see @AntaresNuclear in DC just DAYS after its Mark-0 microreactor achieved initial criticality at @INL. Incredible achievement. Huge for the future of American nuclear energy.

Congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming the nation's longest-serving leader, a milestone that reflects his enduring dedication.

I was delighted to meet with Permanent Secretary at the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), Jonathan Brearley. As the global demand for energy grows, it is critical that we collaborate with our great allies and partners, above all the UK, to develop and deploy new technologies like advanced nuclear reactors to power the free world.

I appreciated @UraniumProdAm's updates on the @ENERGY's Defense Production Act (DPA) Consortium and their efforts securing U.S.-origin uranium for our national defense. Collaboration between industry and government is key to meeting America’s future security needs.

It was a pleasure to host the impressive companies participating in the @Energy Reactor Pilot Program alongside the @NuclearStudies. Witnessing the collaborative efforts of these companies, our national labs, and the DOE is truly inspiring. I am excited to continue supporting the work that will strengthen America's energy baseload.

Right now, federal agencies are encouraged to spend every cent allocated to them with almost no oversight as to where that money is going. My bill, the Bonuses for Cost Cutters Act, broadens the existing rewards program for federal employees who uncover fraud. A big win for American taxpayers!

I was honored to speak today at the Atlantic Council and KHNP Conference. In partnership with the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP), I spoke about the great relationship between the US and South Korea. The US-ROK civil nuclear relationship will continue evolving and strengthening our strategic partnership.

It was great to see the @WhiteHouse has awarded @TVAnews competitive funding from the @ENERGY. This critical investment will help TVA keep sites like the Cumberland Fossil Plant running smoothly and increases overall energy production. This is great news for families and growing businesses in our region! energy.gov/hgeo/defense-prod…

An @NNSANews team from Los Alamos National Lab, in collaboration with the @AUB_Lebanon Medical Center and the Lebanese government, has successfully removed the last cesium-137 blood irradiator from Lebanon! I applaud the work of both of these institutions, making our world a safer place. This is a vital step in denying our adversaries access to a dangerous material. exchangemonitor.com/nnsa-rem…

I appreciated meeting with @ENERGY’s I-Corps team from @ORNL here in Washington. It was great to talk about their work, bringing the innovative tech from the lab to the private sector. Their efforts keep America on the cutting edge of modernization. I’m proud to support them in Congress.

🚨@NNSAWilliams joined @RepChuck at @ORNL to break ground on the Advanced Testbed and Operational Learning Laboratory, or ATOLL. The 21,000-square-foot facility will provide critical capabilities for NNSA nonproliferation programs while enabling advanced research, testing, and technology development across a broad range of enrichment technologies. Within ATOLL, national laboratory researchers will gain hands-on experience in uranium enrichment, growing a new generation of the expertise America needs to secure energy dominance and remain the global leader in nuclear nonproliferation. energy.gov/nnsa/articles/nns…
