The Build Back Better Act, passed nearly two years ago, secured over $2 trillion for many aspects of the Biden Administration's agenda, one of which includes infrastructure projects for state and local governments.

One decade after the Washington Navy Yard shooting, officials and other experts say the tragedy has proven to be a catalyst in overhauling the government’s approach to managing potential security risks from its employees and contractors. In the years following the shooting, the Defense Department established a central organization to manage “insider threats,” while the military services and other organizations also set up insider threat “hubs” to share information about potential risks from
