Are we ahead or behind them? Mr. Hodges, you might wanna—
Mr. Miller, it seems like we’ve either denied it or [agreed] that China is ahead of us in crypto. What’s the consequences of that if we don’t adjust one way or the other?
So, we just pretty much take it for granted that they’re gonna do the right thing. Right? Because we don’t make it much here, right?
Thank you, Commissioners, for being here. Let’s start where you just finished. How safe do we feel about the ingredients in pharmaceuticals from China? And how can we depend on that safety?
I urge the Senate to pass them quickly so these treasured resources can continue serving Idahoans for generations to come.
There is no question that Idahoans care deeply about our public lands and water systems. The responsible, commonsense bills passed out of committee will help maintain our public lands, prevent critical water infrastructure from falling…
Americans cannot keep paying the price every time a supply chain crisis hits – whether it’s a pandemic, a war, or the whims of the Chinese Communist Party trying to undermine the American economy.
Our doctors, nurses, and support staff are the best of Delaware. They hold us together in our darkest hours.
To defend our nation and what it means is to defend religious freedom. To defend our Constitution is to defend religious freedom. To defend religious freedom is to defend ourselves, our future, and our very republic.
I think freedom of religion is among those most basic and eternal. And I think when we fail to remember that and to give it life, and purpose, and meaning, we no longer deserve the freedoms for which our forebears fought.
Religious freedom, as I’ve said, is a fundamental threat to authoritarianism, and it is because of our commitment to a freedom of faith that we are also, as a nation, committed to an equality of all.
Restoring that trust requires, at minimum, an honest accounting of where the agency stands.
The experience, institutional knowledge, and trusted relationships built by career staff are irreplaceable assets and vital to supporting states and critical infrastructure owners and operators to defend against cyberthreats.
While today is a day to celebrate, it’s also a reminder that it should not take 18 years to build critical energy infrastructure in America.
SunZia becoming fully operational is a milestone more than 18 years in the making and one that I’ve been fighting for since I first came to Congress.
Don't fund litigation, do fund conservation, and try to have some transparency, so we make good investments in that conservation.
The basin needs compromise, shared sacrifice, investment, and leadership, and it needs them now.
Without a seven-state agreement, the consequences are clear: more litigation, unplanned water shortages, economic disruption, and heightened risk to communities least able to absorb it.
The Colorado River is the backbone of water supply for millions of people, a cornerstone of Western agriculture and energy production, and a lifeline for tribal communities, fish, wildlife, and working landscapes across the basin in New…
“AI has opened the door for bad actors to produce explicit images quickly and cheaply to abuse or harass more victims, especially targeting young women,” said Senator Blackburn.
“No one should fall victim to unwanted flashing, whether in real-life or online,” said Senator Schatz, a senior member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
President Reagan understood peace is best preserved through unquestioned strength, and this legislation carries this legacy forward.
From modernizing the nuclear triad and advancing space and missile defense capabilities to improving quality of life for our military families, this bill ensures our armed forces remain the strongest and most capable in the world.
