Grateful that @FEMA released another $179M+ for Public Assistance & $18M+ in Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to repair property & infrastructure in Western North Carolina & across the state. This aid is critical for recovery & rebuilding from Hurricane Helene & other disasters.

Today is the day, America! Students can now use Workforce Pell Grants to enroll in short-term programs that prepare them for in-demand careers and good-paying jobs. This has been a long time coming, and I am so excited to see our workforce grow with this new program.

Leveraging the strengths of both America’s public and private sectors to evaluate, monitor, and understand frontier AI development will only become more critical as industries across every sector of our economy continue to embrace AI technology. budd.senate.gov/2026/06/30/bud…

I am proud to join Senator Cruz in introducing common-sense legislation that simplifies life for the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform and who choose to homeschool their children. budd.senate.gov/2026/06/16/bud…

SUPER excited to see the @FAANews accelerating supersonic tech for aircraft.   By passing my Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act, we can solidify @SecDuffy's efforts to permit civil supersonic flight over the continental US—ensuring America leads in the next era of aviation.
