As a fiscal conservative, $2.2 trillion of our grandchildren's money is a tough pill to swallow. But this is a two-front war on our economy and on public health. On the economic front, we must provide a lifeline to individuals, businesses…

I find this interesting and sad. Since the last time we were here, for all the handwringing, all of the hues and cries that the President was taking us to the brink of war, that he was a warmonger, that this was so reckless as we are still…

I think it is also worth noting that we still have an American hostage held by the Taliban, just taken in the last few months.

I would just remark that we all know that if we have to fight our way back in, that we will be tending, I think, many more funerals than a current sustained pressure campaign with limited forces.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Today I rise to celebrate one of the most prominent African American women in my community and our Nation's history, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. At an early age, Dr. Bethune took an interest in the power of learning and promoting civil…

Today I rise in support of this important legislation, H.R. 4305, the PAWS Act. As a combat veteran, I have personally relied on service dogs in battle. We all recently witnessed the important role that service dogs play in combat roles…

Today, and as the underlying premise for this legislation, we are hearing a lot of things. Number one, we are hearing that the President recklessly escalated our relationship with Iran. Wrong. The President responded to a series of…

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…

Today I want to recognize three talented high school basketball players in my district, Khadija Faye, Tiera White, and Brianna Ellis. Khadija and Tiera play basketball at Father Lopez High School in Daytona Beach, and Brianna plays…

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

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