most of the fentanyl and other drugs that come through our borders actually come through ports of entry.

when you look at the Sackler family, they were punished a bit, but when you really look at the truth is, they got away with creating a crisis that came to 10,000 or more deaths a year.

For decades, satellites have been used for GPS communications and remote sensing.

Today's hearing is indicative of my Republican colleagues' misplaced priorities, and their willingness to sacrifice the health, the safety of the American people, starting with frontline communities like the one that I represent.

These bills will not serve the American people. They are intended to serve fossil fuel companies who continue to see record-shattering profits while everyday Americans pay higher prices at home.

The bills being discussed today are an attack on the environmental and public-interest laws that are most essential to ensuring that our constituents can breathe clean air and drink clean water.

As Members of Congress, we have been entrusted with the duty to protect and improve constituents' quality of life, their health, and overall well-being.

I am proud of the fact that I live in a country where we do have rigorous regulations.

It is about rightsizing it. It is about making sure that we don't overburden industries and individuals.

Thank you so much for everything you do in the space of mental health.

Our money is much more better spent on prevention, education, and treatment.

It is a chronic, treatable disease of the brain, and it is driven by cravings.

The promise of 988 and the momentum... offers some much-needed hope for those struggling with their mental health.

I am concerned that this class-wide scheduling approach sets a precedent of guilty until proven innocent.

We could be overlooking the next naloxone, which has saved countless lives from opioid overdose because our focus is solely punitive.

This is a complex, multifaceted public health crisis that requires a robust public health response.

Incarceration won't help them. It won't cure them, because they will do exactly what your son said they will do.

While there is much work to be done, I believe that the promise of 988... offers some much-needed hope for those struggling with their mental health.

Incarceration won't help them. It won't cure them.

I think that is a grave error with immense consequences.

I have always enjoyed working with you and looking forward to working with you as the chairman of this very important committee.

If we make good policy here, we are going to create more lucky ones, right, if we do it right.

Overdose deaths are skyrocketing in this country, and I share my colleagues' horror at the devastation we have seen at the hands of the fentanyl crisis.

Unfortunately, my Republican colleagues are beholden to the special interests of the fossil fuel industry and continue to fight for the expansion of oil, gas, and coal.

That is the responsible way that government should be involved in trying to manage what is good for the American people, not just consider it to be a laissez-faire, let the markets take care of it themselves.
