Congressman Mike Lawler, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, recently used his social media platform to highlight bipartisan legislative efforts and address ongoing policy debates in Washington.
On October 21, 2025, Lawler posted about bipartisan cooperation on Afghan ally programs, stating, “Both Democrats and Republicans share this point of view, which is exactly why I co-led the introduction of the Enduring Welcome Act. By codifying the CARE office and its functions, maintaining a database of Afghan allies, and further improving transparency of related programs,”.
Later that day, Lawler addressed health care policy amid a federal government shutdown debate. On October 21, 2025, he wrote, “Proud to join my colleagues in fighting to address health care costs once Senate Democrats reopen the federal government. Republicans can and must lead with solutions that make healthcare more affordable without taking coverage away from those who depend on it. That’s how we”.

The Enduring Welcome Act referenced by Lawler aims to provide lasting support for Afghan allies who assisted U.S. forces during operations in Afghanistan. The CARE office is designed to coordinate resettlement and integration efforts for these individuals. The focus on codifying its functions and increasing transparency reflects ongoing concerns about fulfilling commitments made during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Lawler’s comments on healthcare come as Congress faces a partial government shutdown due to budgetary disagreements between Senate Democrats and House Republicans over spending priorities and program funding.
