We can strive to value those things that I suspect led most of us to do the work that we do in the first place.

Because of these reckless cuts, there are parents whose kids just got kicked out of Head Start programs who right now are scrambling for a solution.

We just had a young person who went to Russia and Chechnya who blew people up in Boston. So he didn't stay where he went, but he learned something where he went and he came back with a willingness to kill people.

EPA's lack of cooperation is just unacceptable, and only raises further questions regarding the agency's transparency and ultimate intentions regarding fracking.

Policymaking related to fracking should be driven by open public debate based on peer-reviewed science, not political agendas.

I hope they recognize, as I do, that searching for problems as a pretext for regulation rather than focusing on the science is a waste of time, a waste of resources, and runs counter to the national interest.
