I urge the Senate to approve the disaster relief supplemental appropriations bill. This bill will provide additional funding for response and recovery operations in areas devastated by recent hurricanes. The storms this year have been…

I am worried that President Trump's immigration policies--particularly related the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals--will result in a loss of cybersecurity talent.

President Trump must start acting like the President of the country instead of obsessing over photo ops with Kim Jong-un, saving ZTE jobs in China, and casting aside close allies like Canada to curry favor with Vladimir Putin.

With the mid-term elections less than 5 months away, he must make it clear that election security is the top National security priority and push Republicans in Congress to do more.

I will be brief, but I want to point out a matter of real concern, and it should be a matter of concern to all Americans. When new Presidents are elected, they have always been given the opportunity to put their team in place in short…

Undoubtedly, the threat posed by North Korea is one of the most complex challenges to our National security.

Thank you very much Mrs. Watson Coleman for your participation. The last point I would like to make is, in Mrs. Hamer's day, it was poll tax. It was: How many bubbles are in a bar of soap? How many grains of sand are on the beach? Now it…

I thank the gentlewoman for the very kind comments. But to talk about Mrs. Hamer and her work is easy. It speaks for itself. I am very privileged, as I indicated, to have known her, to have participated in a number of meetings. One of the…

I will tell the gentlewoman from New Jersey that I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Hamer as a young college student at Tougaloo College. Facts about it, one of the first campaigns I worked on as a college student was Ms. Hamer's campaign…

Tonight, I am privileged to rise in support of recognizing a true hero in not only the State of Mississippi, but this country as a whole. Her name is Fannie Lou Hamer. Fannie Lou Hamer will be 100 years old this week. I am happy to say…

I would also like to say to the gentlewoman that that 1964 Atlantic City Democratic National Convention set the tone for opening up the Democratic Party to people of all races and colors because Mrs. Hamer challenged the all-White makeup…

In this country, there is nothing more sacred than the ability to engage in civic activity and cyber criminals are seeking to undermine our democracy.

To be successful, the Department needs adequate resources, a robust staff, strong leadership, and a clear strategy.

Disrupting the systems we rely on for power, fuel, food, and water can be deadly, regardless of whether it's caused by a cyber attack or a natural disaster.

There is no doubt that our country is facing an evolving array of cyber threats.
