IndyGo buses keep our city moving. That’s why I’ll continue to fight for federal dollars to important public transit projects like the Red Line, Blue Line, and Purple Line.
Mr. Speaker, I want to make it clear: I have condemned Hamas for their heinous attacks on civilians and call for an immediate release of the Israeli hostages. I continue to call for the safety of all civilians in the Middle East.

Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I am introducing the Transition-To-Success Mentoring Act to help local education agencies prepare at-risk students for the transition from middle school to high school.
Mr. Speaker, I am proud, as the longest serving Muslim in Congress, to in- troduce legislation to recognize the com- mencement of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal, and wish Muslims around the world a Ramadan Mubarak!
Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge a fellow Midwesterner and former colleague from the state of Michigan, Bob Carr, on his 80th birthday. Bob has spent a lifetime in public service and education and continues to have a lasting impact on our insti- tution.

When I talk to our neighbors, I often hear how the crushing burden of student debt makes it hard for people to build a future for themselves and their families. I am committed to reducing that burden. I’ll always fight to lower costs for families like yours, and I want to provide an update on recent developments.
Democrats’ Investing in America agenda is paying off for thousands of hardworking families.
Thanks to legislation we passed when Democrats last held the majority, middle class Americans are benefitting from cost savings. Unfortunately, partisan politics and in-fighting has created a standstill in Congress this year.
Each year, I fight to bring federal funding directly to Indianapolis organizations making a positive impact on our community. This program, called Community Project Funding, has helped our roads, our public transit, our schools, and our families.
