This Week's Federal Press Releases

Week of April 1 - April 7, 2023

What is this?

US Government News consolidates press releases from the top 14 Federal Departments and Agencies, which are responsible for disbursing funding, making policies and regulations, and (as allowed by law) implementing the President’s agenda. We put them here all in one place to make it easier to track and learn about what the federal government is doing day-to-day.

What’s Missing?

For the time being, we are not able to reliably report every press release from the U.S. Departments of State, Defense, Labor, and Justice due to the sheer volume of press that is released from these agencies. In the future, US Government News will include these agencies in their own dedicated newsletters.
