Our country has a long legacy of being a leader on human rights, humanitarian assistance, and the fight against global poverty.

The administration may seek to hide many things from the American people, but they should know this: Today's committee chairs are tomorrow's ranking members.

I am concerned that in a world that is increasingly unstable and where there is a clear contest between authoritarian capitalism and real capitalism, as a democracy that is a capitalist society, we need to step up our game.

President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord deals a devastating blow to America's global leadership with grave implications for our nation and future generations.

I don't see how it makes sense in an increasingly difficult and contested world to unilaterally withdraw support from vital allies.

the health of the world's most vulnerable populations drives economic growth, strengthens communities, and reduces instability that often fuels war, conflict, and extremism.

Removing the Special Counsel in order to prevent the Special Counsel from pursuing the investigation, that would not constitute good cause, correct?

The President's budget proposal is a narrow-minded and small-hearted reimagining of America's role in the world.

I am actually more worried about the scenario, at this point, where, if you were to receive an order from the White House to fire the Special Counsel.

I appreciate that commitment, Mr. Secretary. I think that's important to all of us.

I mean, now we're in a position where they haven't even admitted it, right?

It's important to take additional actions and sanction Russia to let them know that you cannot interfere in our elections.

Seeing the spike is something we have to tackle with urgency.

It is the height of arrogance for the Attorney General not to come before the subcommittee that oversees the Justice Department budget.

Cuts of this magnitude diminish our influence overseas. It will diminish our capacity to accomplish some of our goals.

I thought it was, again, not the choice I would have made to cut all the educational and cultural exchange programs in half.

I am not surprised that the budget before us proposes millions of dollars to hire lawyers to focus on taking private land from hardworking Americans along the southwest border.

I am disappointed by President Sisi's signature of the NGO law.
