Strengthening the antinepotism laws would be a key component if we're trying to clean up the mess that is in the White House right now?

Ivanka Trump, who last I noted was the daughter of the President of the United States, has businesses. And she was granted 34 trademarks in China after her father was elected and she became a member of the administration.

I have a brief 1 minute to say that San Francisco International Airport is in my district. We are being hounded by noise in the middle of the night at 1, 2, and 3 a.m. in the morning. I convened a meeting with the FAA. They joined me at…

I think we should just be on the lookout that if we are just substituting one drug for another and it still has addictive qualities, that that is a problem as well.

You are exceeding the guidelines in some ways significantly from what the CDC is recommending.

I believe you have 7 days as your floor, which to me is more than twice what is being recommended by CDC.

I think the military has the opportunity to lead the Nation to reduce opioid abuse and develop alternative pain management therapies.

Today marks the 120th anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence. About 120 years ago, U.S. actions turned promises of freedom into false hope. Though Filipino rebels fought alongside our troops to end colonial Spanish…

My Republican colleagues have a point. It is really terrible that some people take advantage of free food and drink to continue their slothful lifestyles. I agree. This conduct must stop. Of course, Members of Congress can attend lunches…

Thank you, and I thank my dear friend, Paul Tonko, who loved Louise like no one else in this Chamber, for arranging this for us tonight. Tom Jones had a song, ``She's a Lady.'' Louise Slaughter was that lady, except none of the other…

It is a personal thrill for me to participate in this special hour. I want to thank the gentlewoman from California for doing a very good job of surprising our guest of honor this evening. She did it very well because she did it on policy…

I think the latter probably more than the former. I mean when you have an institution that is no longer credible... when you have them making rogue trips to the UK to try and find Christopher Steele...

It's not complete, but we've been hearing rumors since November of last year that they were going to shut down the committee work at the end of the year.

Let me close by saying this: I wholeheartedly support the letter and the spirit of this law. I recognize how important it is. This law is powerful, but it has been weaponized by lawyers who are trying to make a quick buck. Mr. Chair, I…

The ADA is a powerful and important law that we all respect and embrace. Unfortunately, in States like California, it has created a cottage industry of unscrupulous attorneys abusing title III of the ADA. The amendment I am offering is…

How might cuts to FY19 State Department funding impact SOCOM's missions around the globe?

I was furious by that tweet, Anderson, and I think that virtually anyone men or women who sees the testimony and the photographs of the former wives and the former live-in girlfriend of Mr. Porter, there is a pattern of behavior here that…

When the FBI does a security clearance evaluation, it is completed and handed over to the agency and the individual either gets the security clearance or doesn't get the security clearance.

On the Republican one, you know, the FBI and the Department of Justice both said they had grave concerns that this was reckless action to make this memo public and release what is and in fact classified information. The President before…

This is a White House that doesn't believe the rules apply to them.
