We need to go back and support all of our nursing homes--I don't know what we're doing wrong, but clearly that nursing home was not prepared for this.

There are few briefs that really make the hair on the back of my neck stand up, like what our adversaries are doing in space.

You agree with me, and I want to get out there on the record, those are two totally separate, divorced, independent moves.

We have to get to a deterrence model, and we can't get to a deterrence model with our adversaries in the world understanding what we are capable of doing unless we can talk about it.

This capability is, in my opinion, which we know well, has been long overdue and needed.

I wouldn't be alive today and wouldn't be sitting here representing north Florida if it weren't for the United States Air Force.

This is only going to stop when the other side understands that we have the capability and will to impose costs on their system.

I think you are doing a fantastic job. Things are far better than they were in 2016.

I can't imagine doubling this authorization and not adjusting a 30-year-old formula to reflect population needs.

Most states do not currently receive appropriated funds in proportion to their reported needs or population, which demonstrates the inadequacy of the current allotment.

I am here today to discuss an issue that is important to every State, including the State of Florida.

I think the concern from Ms. Cheney, myself, and others is that signal that we are prepared to draw down and withdraw from Afghanistan...

This is a concerted effort. Would you agree with me that actually the strength of the United States but also of our adversary, China, is their economy?

I don't think Moscow or Beijing ever got that message. They are currently in a cold war with us.

The Iranian economy is tanking. They came to the table in the first place in 2012 to enter into negotiations because the sanctions were working, and they will come to the table again. But this time, this administration will strike a better…

I completely agree with you, Ms. Flournoy, in counting ships and counting planes, one, isn't the right metric.

It really is a perfect storm in many ways for them to make that essentially a fait accompli for the United States.

There is a large body of analysis out there that I have seen that essentially wants China or believes that China is going to follow that same model.

I don't think the United States in many ways across our whole of society has fully woken up to what Xi has explicitly stated he wants to go.

I think we are in a new Cold War with China.

I am a Green Beret and a proud veteran, but this process does not make me proud. I fought all over the world, from Africa to Afghanistan, and I have seen fair and more transparent processes than this. Since the Democrats lost the election…

We need to be very careful in equating mistakes, perhaps bad judgment calls, with a war crime.

I am proud to join my colleague, Representative Crow, in that expansion of the SIV program which I think is critical to our local allies and to our ability to move forward.

I would submit to my colleagues that is a war criminal and we need to be very careful about very loosely throwing around that term.

My legislation simply allows surviving spouses to continue to move forward with their lives, allow them to remarry free of fear for losing their benefits owed to them for their family's noble sacrifice.
