Your question is prescient.

We think it is probably something that we would love to work with you on.

It is encouraging to hear you tell us of the leading role that the State of Michigan is playing toward beginning to create this corridor of charging stations and fueling stations.

Thank you also for sending us Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow, two of our best.

I am concerned that if the U.S. lags on EV policy, investments in manufacturing will flow to other parts of the world.

When it comes to creating these corridors of charging stations and fueling stations, it really is all hands on deck.

Like a number of my colleagues, throughout our time in public service we have sought to live our lives in the spirit of Matthew 25, which calls on us to look out for the least of these among us.

I do not know if anybody picked up the phone and called somebody in charge and said, 'We have a problem here...'

Maybe part of it is for Members of Congress to make clear if there were to be a commission, our efforts should certainly include focusing on the root causes of the threat posed by domestic terrorism and make sure that the leaders of that…

I think we should create a 9/11 style commission to look at the failures that led to the devastating attack on our Capitol on January 6th.

Somebody knew something awful could happen. Somebody knew. They sent an email the evening before the event.

How can we ensure that a new 9/11 style commission examines the root causes, not just the symptoms or problems?

I think we certainly should.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Somehow all of that work and all the intelligence that was gathered by the FBI and Homeland Security never found its way to the people who right here in D.C. could have used it the most to have avoided the tragedy of January 6th.

I have worked for years with Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton in support of legislation to admit Washington, D.C., as our 51st State.

One of our major jobs is to do oversight.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

The Constitution... calls for the creation of the post office really to unite us as a country.

I call it 'my to-do list.'

I do not mind paying my fair share of taxes, and I do not think any of us do.

I believe if things are worth having, they are worth paying for.

If you want to know what it feels like to not be listened to, try being a Democrat in the Trump administration.

It is unclear whether Secretary Regan, if confirmed, would have any authority or had the authority to stop the regulatory march toward the Green New Deal.

I wanted to share that with all of you.
