From @WSJopinion: Zohran Mamdani emulates Elon Musk. New York’s Commission on Government Efficiency, or COGE, is a promising and surprising effort, writes @katesfarmer.

Will Mamdani's version of DOGE -- NY's Commission on Government Efficiency -- rupture his relationship with labor unions? from @katesfarmer

[Kate Farmer @katesfarmer]

Mamdani is doing DOGE now. You read that right! I guess Musk's brainchild isn't dead after all.

Unless Washington secures an agreement on the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework this year, shipbuilders will be without regulatory clarity, and America’s maritime dominance could be lost to history, writes Kate Farmer @katesfarmer

From @WSJopinion: The U.N. may make ocean cruises more expensive. An emissions proposal from the International Maritime Organization endangers the industry—and all of commercial shipping, writes @katesfarmer.

.@POTUS signed an executive order to rehabilitate American shipbuilding.

Passing my SHIPS Act provides the Congressional support needed to build new ships and counter China’s maritime dominance. Read my @WSJ letter on why it’s a priority.

[Kate Farmer @katesfarmer]

@SenToddYoung @SenMarkKelly @WSJ Agreed—thanks for your letter, Senator!

[Senator Todd Young @SenToddYoung]

When the government reopens, building more ships should be a top priority.

@SenMarkKelly and I write in the @WSJ about how there’s momentum to pass our SHIPS Act and demonstrate that the U.S. is serious about countering China’s dominance over the oceans.

Naval and Marine leaders gathered at Philadelphia’s Navy Yard last week to celebrate the U.S. Navy’s founding. But as the ceremony paid homage to America’s great triumphs of the seas, tension bubbled beneath the surface, writes @katesfarmer
