At the end of the day, that is all I think any of us care about, if we are going to save lives.

I am certainly supportive of any effective, efficient means of taxpayer dollars to save lives.
Buprenorphine has been crucial to the treatment of disease for opioid addiction.
Transportation is about more than getting from one place to another. It's job creation, economic growth, revitalizing neighborhoods; improving public health through cleaner air and water.
These poor rankings underscore how our infrastructure is woefully lacking and a daily inconvenience to the citizens of Silicon Valley and other regions across our nation.
The United States was once among the world leaders in quality infrastructure. Now, we rank just 11th according to the World Economic Forum.
Infrastructure, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member, are not partisan issues. This is about making sure America wins the 21st century.
I support a bold, robust, and comprehensive infrastructure package along the lines discussed by the Speaker, the President, and Majority Leader Schumer yesterday, a $2 trillion level that will make America competitive.
In 2017 the American Society of Civil Engineers gave our Nation's infrastructure a rank and grade of a D+. These poor rankings underscore, as all of you know, how infrastructure is woefully lacking.

Well, it's just a delay tactic. Don McGahn has already waived his executive privilege by giving this information to Mueller. And the executive privilege doesn't apply when there are issues of possible fraud or obstruction.
Congress' power to subpoena is at its maximum when you have misconduct in the White House or allegations of misconduct.
Well, it's important because the American people should know whether there was misconduct. Whether the president or any of its subordinates violated the law or engaged in behavior that is inappropriate.
I think in an investigation like this, if you work for the president, especially as a White House counsel, you should assume that this is going to become public.
The White House did not calculate their White House counsel cooperated with Mueller and spent over 30 hours testifying to Mueller.
Is there a single American, in your view, Secretary Kerry or Secretary Hagel, democrat, republican, I don't care what party, who believes that America should lose the green energy race to China?
Let me say I actually agree with my friend, Representative Jordan, about the history, that the Green New Deal isn't a new idea.
But the serious issue here is why is the president attacking separation of powers?
