He stated that this "#DDayAnniversary marks 81 years since the operation that led to the collapse of Axis control over Western Europe." He highlighted Nebraska's ties through Higgins boats and @NENationalGuard troops in the liberation of France and the eventual end of WWII.

Later that day, Rep. Flood announced his leadership in a bipartisan initiative aimed at addressing staffing challenges at the National Weather Service (NWS).

The initiative is encapsulated in the Weather Workforce Improvement Act designed to expedite agency hiring processes.

In another tweet on June 6, Rep. Flood shared an op-ed by Retired Judge Robert R. Otte praising his commitment to governance over partisanship. The op-ed states: "Congressman Flood has demonstrated his willingness to prioritize governance over partisanship, ensuring that our constitutional structures remain intact."
