Madam President, I rise to urge my colleagues to strongly support the national security supplemental appropriations package before us. This important legislation, which was approved overwhelmingly by the House of Representatives, reflects…

Madam President, I opposed Majority Leader Schumer's constitutional points of order because I have concerns about the precedents they set for future impeachments. Once a majority of the House of Representatives votes to adopt Articles of…

Madam President, in April of 1924, Nelson Watts and Ralph Colwell combined forces and syllables from their last names and opened the WaCo Diner in Eastport, ME. One hundred years later, the WaCo is still going strong as the oldest diner in…

I hope we will continue to support.

I want the Army and all the Services to be able to trigger state crisis intervention laws.

I realize that you have a period of time that you can use. But is it accurate that about half of the funding appropriated over the last 3 years is still unobligated?

I think that is a really important point, that it is going to be more expensive, and plus, that is where the capability is.

I think we need to remember and always remind ourselves that it was Hamas that massacred 1,200 Israelis.

I want to ensure that we are taking every action necessary to try to lessen or prevent the chances of such a tragedy ever happening again.

This budget request would result in a real decrease in funding available for the Air Force and Space Force.

Thank you very much, Chairman Tester for holding this very important hearing.
