The Training Aspiring Leaders Emerging Now to Serve, or TALENTS Act, which Sens. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) introduced Thursday, would reestablish the PMF program.

WASHINGTON – In response to House Republicans passing a CR that would benefit the top 1% at the expense of regular Americans, MoveOn Civic Action spokesperson Britt Jacovich released the following statement:  “Leader Jeffries and House Democrats were right to vote no on a CR that would hurt everyday people in favor of giving billionaires like Elon Musk even more money.
