It was shocking, but it was also deeply offensive. It was an insult to all of our intelligence.

The facts about what Donald Trump knew and when he knew it are singularly within the control of Donald Trump and the defense.

Donald Trump has left this legacy of domestic terrorism of license and legitimacy, which he gave them and then emboldened and fueled their fantasies and falsehoods.

This panel is an excellent one, and again, my thanks, Mr. Chairman.

We must ensure that justice for these veterans is achieved now, and no longer delayed, the way it was for Blue Water Navy veterans exposed to Agent Orange.

I was proud to support efforts led by Chairman Tester to grant a presumption of service connected for Parkinson's disease, bladder cancer, hypertension, and hyperthyroidism for veterans exposed to certain herbicide agents while serving in…

I appreciate your organizations, Mr. Liermann and Mr. Morosky, supporting my K2 Veterans Care Act.

Supply chain resiliency is critical to our ability as a nation to compete.

The need is really urgent, for example, for semiconductors because our automobile manufacturers are threatened.

It is clear that they don't share our values, that they threaten our economy and our technology lead.

I welcome his Executive Order on America supply chains issued recently which concerns shortages of micro boards and semiconductors.

I am honored and humbled to appear before you and Ranking Member Capito this morning.

I could not imagine a better person to head the Consumer Financial Protection Board at this critical time.

I believe that tough and fair enforcement of consumer protection laws is actually pro-business.

Thank you so much, Chairman Brown and Ranking Member Toomey.

The people who are most persuasive and compelling on an issue of science or medicine are the people who have the credentials of medical doctors or nurses or scientists, who can attest to the efficacy and safety of the vaccine.

Whatever we can do to expand that authority, if necessary, I think there would be strong support for it.

I first want to say how proud I am to know that Connecticut, really, I think it is at the forefront of these efforts to vaccinate veterans.

The semiconductor issue, this shortage is real, urgent, and present right now.

Please do something to help us.

Making our adversaries, Russia, in particular, pay a price for this attack is absolutely necessary.

Our nation is in no way prepared.

Donald Trump should be afraid, very afraid, of a determined, fierce, thoughtful and resourceful prosecutor like Merrick Garland.

And those violent extremists are more dangerous today, much more so than they were then, as Merrick Garland said today in his testimony.

An unsuccessful coup attempt without accountability is a dress rehearsal. That would-be Trump tyrants waiting to mobilize that mob again must be stopped.
