We need to do something that's in advance. We have got to stop something now.
Impaired driving risks the lives not only of the impaired driver but everyone else as well.
The Horseracing Integrity Act introduced by Representatives Barr and Tonko is a critical piece of legislation.
So I think at least Bob Baffert is saying it is a performance-enhancing drug.
Most notably, it places a ban on race-day medication, which I feel is the most important change to the legislation.
I was the lead cosponsor of similar legislation in 2013 with Representative Pitts that addressed some of the same concerns with doping and horseracing.
We need to examine how many of these children have been forcibly separated from their parents and forced into custody of the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Settlement.
Ripping young children away from their parents in order to extort money for a wall is both evil and inhumane.
I believe that time and our Nation would be better served by speaking up and speaking out against the Trump administration's mean-spirited, racist, and immoral new policy of separating immigrant children from their parents.
Now is the time for Congress to grow a spine and reclaim our constitutional duty as an equal and separate branch of Government ready and willing and able to serve as a check to a President who has seemingly gone mad.

Americans are realizing how little control they have over their own information.
I think what I am hearing you say and I would agree that EIS acts as a pipeline for the next generation of health care leaders and contributes to a strong workforce.
I am proud I've introduced H.R. 5998, which is the Securing Experts to Control, Understand, and Respond to Emergencies--or the SECURE Act--to support and build a robust disaster preparedness workforce.
One absolutely essentially part of disaster preparedness is having the workforce in place to respond to public health emergencies.
I think it is really critical that we continue and strengthen the EIS program.
