The House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Defense, chaired by Representative Ken Calvert of California, is holding a field hearing today at the College of the Canyons Performing Arts Center in Santa Clarita, California. The hearing will examine industrial base and workforce development for skilled trades.

Today is Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts’ deadline for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin to respond to his inquiry regarding the sharing of Medicaid data by the Department of Health and Human Services with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh received a response from Michigan election officials asking the high court to reject a citizenship voting case brought by a voter advocacy group. State election officials had determined there were not sufficient valid signatures to include the measure on November’s midterm ballot.
