To this day, my office has not heard back from anyone at the State Department about the U.S. Embassy's contract with MadWoman, a supposed Cuban independent small business (MIPYME) that fired an employee for posting anti-regime slogans on his personal social media. I reminded the third-in-command at the State Department to deliver on the request I made in a letter to President Biden and Secretary Blinken in February: Turn in all communications between MadWoman and the Embassy to my office by April 1, 2024. There is only one day left, and my office is waiting! Read more about my line of questioning last week here. TUNE IN: THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO DEBATE MY MIGRATORY BIRDS OF THE AMERICAS CONSERVATION ENHANCEMENTS ACT! The House of Representatives just announced that it will be opening up debate on my bill, the Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act. This legislation will protect Miami's most beautiful birds, and safeguard our biological diversity for decades to come. I'll be speaking on the floor of the House to defend my bill, so stay tuned! The Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (NMBCA) provides competitive grants for habitat conservation, research and monitoring, and community outreach and education. The Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act of 2023 reauthorizes this program for the next 5 years. This bill will fund projects in the Western Hemisphere that have a positive impact on migratory birds. The bill passed unanimously in the House Committee on Natural Resources earlier this month.
