anti-Asian-American violence has skyrocketed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled significantly by former President Donald Trump's dangerous and xenophobic language.

I am focused on making sure that our economy is strong and that we are all united in ways that would put us in a position to deal with China or anyone else who interferes with our ability to carry out our democratic commission methods.

Can you explain how allowing the U.S. to default on its debt would benefit the Chinese government by causing irreversible damage to the U.S. dollar status as a global reserve currency?

Even though an agreement was reached, and we didn't default, Republicans are yet again actively working to risk unleashing the same devastation or worse as they did just over a decade ago.

Such a global financial crisis would hand the Chinese Communist Party a massive win by boosting the Chinese government's standing in the world.

If we want to talk about the fentanyl crisis and how it's coming in and what's being needed, we should talk about those facts, instead of conflating all the different issues.

Today's hearing is indicative of my Republican colleagues' misplaced priorities, and their willingness to sacrifice the health, the safety of the American people, starting with frontline communities like the one that I represent.

I spoke about the need to reduce excessive process requirements necessary to build clean energy projects and reform environmental laws from the 1970s to meet the challenges of today.

I also don't pretend that oil and gas is going away tomorrow. It is going to be around for a while.

The extreme MAGA plan will not secure our borders because they're not asking the right questions to the right individuals about the right facts.

Mr. Speaker, I thank our chair for his commitment and strength on this issue. I yield to the gentlewoman from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore).

Their hatred of foreign-born people and their blatant lies have consequences, and it's time that they own up to it.

I agree. And on this too I would reiterate my willingness to work in a bipartisan way.

The bills being discussed today are an attack on the environmental and public-interest laws that are most essential to ensuring that our constituents can breathe clean air and drink clean water.

As Members of Congress, we have been entrusted with the duty to protect and improve constituents' quality of life, their health, and overall well-being.

These bills will not serve the American people. They are intended to serve fossil fuel companies who continue to see record-shattering profits while everyday Americans pay higher prices at home.

We need to get CCP and Xi Jinping and their reckless actions tamed.

I can't tolerate seeing that eroding every year by the CCP.
