The Department of Energy not only refused to provide transparency to this committee, but they are refusing to be transparent to the American people who deserve every assurance that their tax dollars are not being funneled to China.

We will continue to demand transparency and accountability from the administration to guard against Federal waste of funds through poor investments and further dependence on our adversaries.

Heavily subsidizing renewable energy and shoveling money in the form of financial awards out the door is not the solution.

You probably didn't know this, but 50 years ago, President Nixon signed the Endangered Species Act into law, which was designed to do two very important things: Prevent species from going extinct and promoting their recovery. Mr. Speaker…

The administration showed that once again Democrats have real workable solutions to manage migration.

He had to go there. I thank Mr. Valadao for his words. Sometimes going off script is dangerous at times, but I think he made a really good point about right now in California, there is an abundance of water, so much so that some…

I couldn't have said it better. Resources are being used to keep the species on the list indefinitely. We should be thinking about the good of the species and the success of the recovery of the species. Instead, we want to keep them on…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I really do believe that this is a moment and we need to make sure that the taxpayer dollars accomplish the goal and that my constituents don't remain unserved because fiber isn't possible.

Millions of Americans still lack access to broadband services, despite our Federal Government spending tens of billions of dollars.
