Given Secretary Mattis' commitment to restoring military readiness, is it still wise to stand down the center?

In 2006, GAO found that DOD is working to improve the stigma associated with servicemembers who want to access mental health services.

The Army's regulation that governs a soldier's assignment to recruiting duty requires that he or she provide a mental evaluation statement proving no record of emotional or mental instability without defining 'instability.'

last week TrumpCare died, and lots of people are trying to figure out exactly what happened. In my view, it was not a lack of strategy; it was not a lack of effort; it was not a lack of personal relationship between the Speaker and the…

I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. Under the previous order, the joint resolution having been read the third time, the question is, Shall the joint…

I would like to talk about U.S. support for Israel. It used to be that U.S. support for Israel was bipartisan. One of the most deeply disappointing realities in Washington today is that this support is becoming characterized as…

today, we will vote on a resolution that will take away privacy protections from the American people. By voting for this resolution, Congress is ignoring the fact that people want more protections online, not fewer. In 2016, Pew did a…

Thank you, Mr. President. It is really a simple proposition and it is a scary one. As soon as this legislation is enacted, internet service providers can collect your browsing data and sell it without your permission. Right now there is a…

There are 20 regulations mandated by Dodd-Frank that the SEC has not yet drafted or finalized.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

They could start by observing the rule of law.

OMB has put us on a course for some substantial cuts to the Coast Guard.

Thank you, Admiral, for your great work. Thank you for everything you do in Hawaii.

I guess my question is it still seems to me that we could use a couple of cutters in the Pacific...

How critical is your partnership with the Department of State in terms of, for instance, the Asia-Pacific Rebalance?

what should we call it? What do we call this new bill the Republicans are rushing through to take away healthcare from millions of Americans? Is it TrumpCare? Is it RyanCare? It is important to remember that both Paul Ryan and President…

What does it mean to be credible but not precise?

As you know, by statute FEMA is required to reevaluate the flood insurance maps every 5 years.

last night the Republicans in the House revealed their plan to scrap the ACA and replace it with something much worse--TrumpCare. There are so many things that are wrong with this bill. A lot of us are still going through the 184 pages and…

The Senate should have confirmed her to a term last year, and I'm counting on everyone to honor their original commitment.

yesterday the New York Times published a story about the nearly 100 Federal protections this administration has attacked. The article highlighted a few of the outcomes of these attacks. For example, telecommunication companies are no…

So it's really critical that we do the same here in the U.S.

We all want faster Internet service and better wireless service coverage that will result from the current incentive auction.

Isn't there a way to balance these concerns and make sure that member companies can deploy quickly after the auction while also protecting our constituents' access to local news?

The value that that spectrum delivers to the economy is hard to overstate.
