Well, I've been in ████████ the last several days, but yesterday I hosted the ██. Department of Agriculture Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, ██████████████, on a visit to ████████. He is a ████████████ native. It was great to have him in ████████. We toured the preferred popcorn headquarters in ██████, ████████, and the Mars pet care production facility in ██████, and we also held a listening session on the ████ review for the United States, Mexico Canada Agreement USMCA with local ag producers at Central Valley AG. In ████. We had a great discussion. Really appreciate. The strong turnout there. ██████ and ██████ are ████████'s most significant ag export markets in USMCA is very important in this process. And the role of usmca, I want to say. Is so important. So we want to ensure our farmers and ranchers have a level playing field to be able to sell their products into other markets, especially ██████ and ██████. And under Secretary █████████, he's a great advocate for american agriculture, both here at home and abroad. And as the █████ administration gathers stakeholder feedback. Input from producers is critical. To ensure a successful review process. Certainly encourage all Nebraskans to share their perspectives on USMCA and perhaps ideas for potential improvements. The deadline for submitting comments is ██████████, so just around the corner. And. You can. Find actually comments ustr. Gov to do so, and feel free to do that. Appropriations process and funding the government. This is very important. Last week I voted. To package in the House of legislation that continues to fund the federal government. That's typically the case. That's a normal situation. When the appropriations bills are not yet complete. So. We forwarded the continuing resolution, and we now await the Senate to pass that. And actually, Democrats and the Senate subsequently rejected the same bill in order to, in my opinion, pursue partisan objectives. They want to tie various tie strings on there with the various partisan. Objectives, and I can get into a little bit of that here in a minute. But as we do work to get our fiscal house in order. I think unreasonable demands actually leaves us at a very serious risk of a government funding crisis. And in our working families tax cut package, we took action to address high rates of Medicaid payment errors. We eliminated a Bidenaire nursing home staffing rule, which. Burdens ██% of facilities in ████████ with the risk of closure. We also delivered the largest ever single investment in rural healthcare through the Rural Health Transformation Fund. Of which the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare launched an implementation last week. Sadly, Democrats are demanding the repeal of these. Have put forth a proposal which would add approximately $███ trillion in debt over the next ten years.
