I am proud that our Committee has played a leading role in the enactment of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.

This summer's widespread extreme heat has been really staggering, including a month... of temperatures over 110 degrees in your own city of Phoenix.

Thank you, Senator Capito.

That is quite a disparity.

Thank you for your leadership on these issues and your leadership on the Subcommittee you chair.

Categorical grants from Congress make up 25 percent of my entire operating and staffing budget.

What a day.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided more than $55 billion for drinking water and wastewater improvements, the largest investment in our Nation's history.

We are trying to change the narrative, change the culture where it is a true profession, it is a great, noble profession.

I think it is, I would use the word shameful, in the way that the city has delayed consideration of nominees for judicial posts in the District of Columbia too often and in past years.

For justice delayed is justice denied. We want to make sure that these positions are filled, filled with well-qualified jurors.
