.@sendavidperdue & I sent a letter on behalf of Skylar Mack, an 18-year-old student detained in the Cayman Islands, to ensure a safe return to Georgia.
We’re working alongside the U.S. Embassy & Mack’s family in calling for leniency for this young woman.

Today, we will deliver nearly $1 trillion in additional aid on top of the $3 trillion already disbursed.
Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi made this harder than it needed to be, purposely holding up relief that could have been delivered months ago.

Through Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. has successfully developed a lifesaving #COVID19 vaccine in less than a year.
This is nothing short of extraordinary and a testament to the power of American ingenuity.

Thanks to @FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, over 373,000 rural Georgians will gain access to high-speed broadband. A critical step toward closing the digital divide.
Major news on the @FCC's top priority of closing the #digitaldivide: we've announced the results from Phase I of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund! Thrilled that millions of Americans in 49 states and CNMI will gain access to high-speed Internet service.
