The dangers of judge shopping, where a litigant files a suit in a division with a friendly judge, were on full display in Judge Kacsmaryk's unprecedented mifepristone ruling out of Texas. Our country was founded on the principle of blind and impartial justice. Judge shopping directly undermines that fundamental promise. It's unacceptable for plaintiffs to handpick who decides their lawsuit, especially when the ruling will have consequences for all Americans. That's why I introduced a bill with Senator Wyden to end judge shopping and uphold the integrity of our judicial system. 

It was such an honor to welcome North Carolina state climatologist Dr. Kathie Dello to the Environment Subcommittee hearing on weather and climate forecasting. June marks the start of Atlantic hurricane season, and North Carolina is no stranger to these disastrous storms. As the Ranking Member of the Environment Subcommittee, I'm committed to improving our weather and climate forecasting to ensure we are prepared for any natural disaster.

This week, I had the chance to speak at the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition's Hill Day breakfast about the importance of investing in strong diplomacy and international aid. Strengthening funding for the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Peace Corps helps ensure the United States can continue to be a champion for freedom and democracy – both at home and abroad.
