Thank you, Chair Westerman, for bringing us all together, in many senses, to honor the sequoias...

So, my question is why on earth is the GOP waging a war on ESG, especially when it is so completely unpopular with American corporations, the market, investors, American voters?

It is amazing to me to see the kinds of attacks we have seen on American freedom by the Majority, attacks on our bodies, banning books, and now we are talking about banning the way that businesses are able to invest their own capital in…

I appreciate that I heard you say yes. That is important to me as we talk about future insulin prices.

There are too many families back home that have shared with me decisions they are making on trying to make that insulin last longer than it should.

Last year, I chaired a hearing in the Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples on Indigenous cultural and environmental preservation...

I just want to say how proud I am to be here today with you, as a New Mexican, to watch your growth, your advocacy for people, and your ability to work across the aisle.

There is still almost 200,000 people in New Mexico that need insulin that don't get the cap.

Do federal climate investments create the highly skilled jobs that communities need to prosper and that the United States needs to stay competitive in the global energy transition?

What is especially amazing about this is how radically out of touch it is with the American public.

I don't want to stifle research. But when we have something that can transform someone's life and save someone's life, there has got to be a better way for us to make this affordable.

I have watched and listened today and seen as this hearing has devolved into yet another crusade in the political culture wars.

One thing I am very proud of is that New Mexico... recently moved to cap insulin at $25 for a 30-day supply.

You are not going to have to worry about getting that insulin to stay alive.

But Congress is probably going to have to take some action here, and I am hoping that Congress is willing to do so.

The plan that came out of the House would devastate investments into tribal communities.

If you're going to buy something you've got to pay for it.
