since 1790, the Coast Guard, our Nation's oldest continuous seagoing service, has been the world's premier force in maritime safety, security, and stewardship. Guided by its core values of honor, respect, and devotion to duty, the Coast…

I have heard a lot of claims, some of them very hyperbolic and some of which I would classify as drivel from some of the prior speakers. It is one thing to disagree, but we should at least be truthful. Let's look at the amendment itself…

I thank Chairman Rogers for his outstanding leadership in crafting the strongest defense bill I have seen during my time in Congress. Year after year, the chairman assures us that we are going to have a strong NDAA that we can be proud of…

by my watch, today is September 20. The fiscal year for the U.S. Senate and for the U.S. Government ends in 10 days. Congress, which is required to fund the government by passing appropriations bills, has not passed a single appropriations…

If they keep it up, Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan have to register as a Democratic Super PAC, because they're going to save Joe Biden's fate in here.

I would love to see those, Mr.

Despite never-before-seen levels of funds going to your Department, our transportation does not seem to be safer today than it did just a few years ago.

Can we stop sending the guns that they're using against us, basically, to run these cartels? Six hundred thousand a year.
