I think that this is something that Congress should do, not the administration unilaterally.

I think it's seriously time for Congress to consider outlawing ransomware payments.

I think that's one part we have to get right is to make sure you don't have kind-of two classes of kids, the class that learns AI and the class that doesn't have the resources.

As we close out the year, I want to thank the Chairman for what I think has been a pretty productive year on this subcommittee as we've taken on a lot of the challenges in this realm.

It is not always good for Congress to say me, me, me. I'm here to regulate and not ensure that we have the right road map to go forward.

I once again urge my colleagues to reject any proposal that would slash CISA's budget in fiscal year 2024.

These folks think that the American public are fans and that this is just entertaining and we're keeping the chief entertainer, Donald Trump, happy.

We're not sent here to work every day on behalf of one person. He's not eating, and that's why you're here--to feed him.

Most Americans have no idea about the successes that we achieve on behalf of the American people every day.

The idea that we would deliberately blind ourselves to information that is lawfully in our possession just strikes me as crazy.

Could you conceive a greater case of self-sabotage to create a vulnerability to the United States than letting Section 702 lapse at the end of the year?

I also want to thank Director Wray and Secretary Mayorkas for sending to my Congressional district...

This Committee should have a conversation and a hearing about anti-Semitism.

So, Mr. Chair, I want to be just today your accountability partner, your online accountability partner, and just go through your social media.

I, the Chair at the time, Chair Nadler, many people in the Jewish community, asked the Chair, Chair Jordan, to take this down.

What are you doing to make sure that we're not overly reliant on a small number of software vendors?

This time line is not consistent with other Federal cyber incident reporting mandates.
