The Biden-Harris administration's National Strategy for the Arctic Region, published last October, is a huge step in the right direction.

The Coast Guard cannot address the challenges in the Arctic on its own and must work hand-in-hand with Alaskan native tribes and communities and international allies and partners.

The Arctic is a region of increasing importance to our efforts to protect the homeland.

Unfortunately, these kinds of disasters are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change.

Ensuring equity in disasters is critical to helping all of our constituents when disasters strike.

That is why in May, Representatives Carter, Titus, Higgins, and I formed the Disaster Equity and Building Resilience Caucus.

Families should not have to choose between food on the table and paying a ridiculously high flood insurance premium to a program that is governed by the Federal Government.

I hope that we can have an honest conversation about the role of climate change in our collective preparedness and response efforts.

This whole-of-Government approach led to the administration to establish Operations Blue Lotus and Four Horsemen this spring.

I will take just a moment to thank David Bullock, my pastor, my friend. I sometimes refer to him as a son. I have known David most all of his life. We grew up in church together. His beautiful family is here in the gallery with us. I am…

I appreciate the gentleman from Massachusetts giving me time. Mr. Speaker, this resolution is simply the latest attempt by extreme MAGA Republicans to distract from the legal peril facing their twice- impeached, twice-indicted party…

I support the additional $1.1 billion requested by President Biden to cover these initiatives for a full year in fiscal year 2024.

It is absolutely vital that we work with our colleagues on the Appropriations Committee to finish what we started and fully annualize these pay increases and safeguards for workplace rights for all TSA workers.

I recently introduced the Fund the TSA Act, which would provide funding for salary increases and expand labor rights for TSA workers.

Unfortunately, just this week, Republicans on the Appropriations Committee have advanced a fiscal year 2024 appropriations bill that would eliminate funding for this important program.

We cannot go back on a promise to the hardworking men and women of TSA.
