U.S. Funding Breakthrough: The House just passed the FY2027 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 8469) with unusually strong bipartisan support—400-15 after a unanimous 58-0 committee vote—boosting discretionary funding to $157B and fully funding VA health care, benefits, Community Care, and major capital upgrades (including $2B+ for VA medical facilities and national cemeteries). ASCC Milestone: Locally, Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata celebrated ASCC’s 84th Commencement, honoring 75 graduates at Kanana Fou with keynote Agriculture Director Daniel Elisara Helsham. Regional Tech & Security Push: American Samoa’s delegation wrapped up an INDO-PACOM mission in Honolulu, aiming to align energy independence, digital resilience, and diplomacy priorities. Ongoing Watch: Guam’s ARP hospital funding continues to shrink on paper, dropping to $83.543M—while the clock runs toward a Dec. 31, 2026 spending deadline.
