Dear Friend,
Several news reports state that the Trump administration and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk are seeking to fire over 80,000 employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Dear Friend,
This Sunday marks the beginning of daylight savings time, which means we set our clocks forward an hour. The practice was formally established through law in 1966 under the Uniform Time Act.
Some Americans support keeping the current rules while others favor eliminating daylight savings time altogether. How do you feel? Take my survey below!
Sincerely,
Nellie Pou
Member of Congress
Estimado amigo:

Dear Friend,
This past weekend I joined our Ukrainian community to mark three years since Russia invaded its neighbor. The pain in the eyes and in the voices of our neighbors breaks my heart.
In North Jersey, we are blessed to live in one of the most vibrant districts in all America. A key part of that is one of the largest Ukrainian communities in our nation. I am honored to stand with so many proud members of that community at this dark time.
