Ted Lieu

I am urging the Adminstration to quickly step up our efforts in the Caribbean.

We should be proud of the fact that the vaccines for those in the United States are the most effective in the world.

We must do more to help the Haitian people overcome the economic and political security crisis they are facing.

We need to step up our efforts to support climate resilience and energy security in the region.

We should step up and send vaccines to our partners in need.

Representative Ted Lieu of California and I recently wrote to the House Appropriations Committee, Homeland Security Subcommittee, to request $400 million of funding for this program for fiscal year 2022.

I was glad to see that President Biden's budget requests no funding for border wall construction, and instead focuses on investing in effective and modern methods of securing the border and addressing the root causes of migration.

Mandatory minimum sentences are stupid, and they're stupid because we stupidly force every fact pattern... into these rigid little boxes that don't reflect reality.

I have two of them, and I look forward to working with this Subcommittee to get those bills marked up.

Anyone involved in this, who is still at the Justice Department, needs to resign.

The time has come for the FBI to confront this threat directly.

I appreciate that you earlier had stated that you investigated alleged voter fraud and you could not find any fraud sufficient to overturn the results of the election.

The FBI must prioritize this threat.

Our constitutional responsibility on that day, on January the 6th, was to certify the election results in the electoral college, correct?

If you are watching this and you believe COVID-19 is a bioweapon, you can protect yourself: Go get vaccinated.

That's why I have introduced legislation to provide incentives for people to go into the cyber-security field.

It is past time for the FBI to begin what the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon have already begun.

The threat of White nationalism and far-right extremism is very real.

Imagine what they are going to do if they ever get back in power.

I do not think it is actually true in terms of emitters because there were much smaller countries that emitted far less that were also invited to this meeting.

What the military did in Burma was wrong. They should be removed from power and doing a coup is completely unacceptable.

the State Department just needs to be sensitive to potential snubs.

I request that we not recognize this National Unity Government until they commit to having a representative of the Rohingya in their National Unity Government.

I hope the State Department honors that thought.

Both Democratic and Republican Administrations have ignored Congressional Subpoenas, and it is wrong when Republicans do it. It is wrong when Democrats do it.
