Probably the worst example, in my opinion, is the Department of Homeland Security.

If you made no mistakes today, you really did not get anything done.

But I do want to make this point, that we have created an atmosphere where a mistake could be catastrophic.

I think in the last 2 weeks, we have seen no greater examples of the critical need for a trained, experienced, compassionate, and empathetic Federal workforce.

When we had the surge at the border of unaccompanied minors, they carry a gun, but they were changing diapers.

Getting them back on patrol should be our top priority.

I would resist a little bit what you are saying, Rachel, because I am a huge proponent of the Ex-Im Bank.

I think there are two steps to this process, and the first step is the low-hanging fruit, where we could all sit down, across the ideological spectrum, and say, 'This is crazy.'

It's crucial that we listen to the voices of those we serve.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I am obviously very concerned about the President's budget, the Administration's budget.

Mr. President, I rise today to honor the new Miss America. That is Cara Mund, a former intern in my office up until the end of last year. Last night she made history and became the first Miss North Dakota to win the title of Miss America…

I want to begin by saying that our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Texas, Florida, the Caribbean, Louisiana, and elsewhere who are currently recovering from the devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

I think it is really critically important that we all work together to make sure that people who are doing flood recovery are--that is the beginning of the step of the next resiliency step in preparedness.

It is hardly a time to retract preparedness.

We write to thank you for your direct response to our letter of September 8, 2017 calling for direct action.

Just very quickly, I wanted to make sure that I stopped in to impress upon everyone here that we are serious about this process.

Time is money. And as a result, money is short.
