the amount of money that Russia and China are spending on propaganda unfortunately dwarfs the amount that we are allocating to fight misinformation.

Most immediately, any default on America's debts and obligations would be an irreparable self-inflicted wound.

I think this subcommittee and more broadly the Appropriations Subcommittee has to pretty rigorously guard our equities when it comes to getting information from the Army and from the Administration when it comes to contract awards.

I hope this committee will continue to work on what I think is a misaligned equilibrium right now between the Administration, the Department of Defense, and this committee when it comes to how much information is shared.

Nothing would better serve the interests of our adversaries. Let us work together on a bipartisan basis to keep America strong at home and around the world.

I rise today to honor the 10-year anniversary of an organization that has been instrumental in our efforts to protect kids and families from gun violence: Giffords, the organization founded by former Congresswoman and gun violence victim…

This evening, I will be talking on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. I have been a physician now for over 30 years and have dealt with a lot of different types of individuals, and there is a difference medically between men…

We've got to change the nation's gun laws. We've got to put more trauma resources into our schools.

Only in America does this happen.

I want to ban assault weapons. I think it's just absolutely unconscionable that we allow these weapons of war to be in commercial circulation.

A proper red flag law in Tennessee could have made a difference here.

What if we said, before you get an AR-15, you have to show that you are responsible, that you know how to operate it.

What we know is that more weapons don't equal less crime.

I think we have to do all of the above.

More school shootings than days in the year so far in 2023.
