God save us if there is another pandemic. These guys can’t organize themselves out of a paper bag.

Because the purpose is making as much money to make the owners filthy rich. Right?

This is just a choice to decide to commoditize our healthcare system, in Connecticut, in Louisiana, in Massachusetts, in every state across this country.

How have we let American capitalism get so off the rails? So, unmoored from the common good that anybody thinks it's Okay to make a billion dollars off of degrading healthcare for poor people in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Had Europe listened to the Trump administration on the need to increase its defense spending... Europe would have been in a much stronger position.

We can no longer afford to give participation trophies to free riding allies unwilling to do their part.

Let us be clear. Xi Jinping wants and is invested in Putin winning.

If President Trump does win, I would encourage Europe at this time to adopt a more constructive approach.

Only strong actions do that.

One of China's most effective national security tools is propaganda and misinformation.

That means we are not playing on a level playing field.

I will make it clear, as chairman of this committee I am willing to sit down with any member to try to find that common path.

The Gaza ceasefire will be the break point where we can do something really important in both directions.

My impression is that since the chairman's hold has been in place the Egyptian government has really failed to engage in any meaningful cooperation with the United States.

But you cannot fill in. USAID cannot fill in for the gap that has been created.

I worry that that greatly misunderstands the risk tolerance of our Arab friends.

We cannot spend money effectively in Gaza if we do not have a governance structure that keeps Israel safe and understands political realities on the ground in Gaza.

We will not only further empower the people of the Middle East and North Africa to forge a more promising and prosperous future, but also ensure security for America and its allies.

We are going to convene the subcommittee today to discuss the fiscal year 2025 budget request for the Middle East and North Africa.

In Connecticut we often hear from our physicians that we should not labor under the belief that there are safe states.

But we know what the agenda is. We know that the agenda of Republicans in the Senate and Congress is to pass a national abortion ban.

A credible pathway to a Palestinian state is very different than a Palestinian state.
