I am not convinced that reentering the JCPOA will stop them.

It leads me to wonder, is the Monroe Doctrine dead or at least on life support?

A whole-of-government approach to combat the trafficking of illegal narcotics and other contraband into the United States is essential to the protection of the homeland from transnational criminal organizations (TCOs).

So now we are going to have male and female standards for the infantry, for Special Forces, for artillery, and last I checked, enemies' bullets don't care.

I want to associate myself with the comments from General Nagata, particularly in the language training.

I feel very strongly that participating in counterterrorism is often allowing us access and placement for great power competition.

I think we need to be very careful about that kind of zero-sum mentality.

I pushed for female engagement teams because there was a need on the battlefield.

I fully support that effort.

I can tell you from 24 years in the military, our military is there to win wars.

I'm looking at some holistic, across the services, across the branches actual numbers, and I'm just not seeing it.

All forms of extremism are repugnant. Whether it is communism, fascism, white extremism, Islamic extremism, they're repugnant.

This notion is incredibly corrosive--can be incredibly corrosive to morale and to good discipline and order.

January 6 was horrible. Everybody should be prosecuted that participated. But I`m just not seeing this specific threat that keeps these soldiers here.

Today I rise to recognize someone very special on my team, a real-life superwoman, a warrior, a hard worker, an Air Force lieutenant colonel, and--perhaps her most important job--a mother of five. Her name is Amanda Naylor, and she has…

This is why I offered an amendment to replace the critical materials text in H.R. 4447 with the American Critical Mineral Exploration Act, and I was disappointed to see it was not made in order. I find this surprising, since my bill serves…

As a combat veteran, I think a lot about my past experiences in battle and personally have dealt with my own struggles, from PTS to survivor's guilt. But this year, we are in a collective battle, and the front lines look very different. We…

I am concerned about the challenges you identified for the government to find and maintain an adequate AI literate workforce.

Looking forward, there will continue to be a need for the government to pave the way on very specific innovations that satisfy specific government needs.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight a glaring deficiency in this bill and a missed opportunity to improve America's clean water infrastructure. The infrastructure package before us today…
