I do think it is a new world, with nation-state attackers attacking the local levels.

The whole democratic process, even if you do not have the problem of hostile actors, often hinges in trying to find out who really won an election with how old this equipment is.

Last fall Chairman Quigley and Representative Katko invited me to demonstrate a hack here on Capitol Hill in a mock election with a voting machine used in 18 States.

Congress should also immediately pass regulation to ensure that online platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, are not used as tools of foreign influence.

Congress should authorize and appropriate regular ongoing federal funding focused on improving the security of our elections.

State election officials are on the front lines of defending democracy, and it has been a pleasure to work with them over the past several years.

We know that in the lead-up to the 2016 elections, the Russians targeted at least 21 State election systems.

Yet many of the vulnerabilities that existed in 2016 continue to persist across the country.

For the past two years, I have done my best with others to sound the alarm about the vulnerabilities of our election system.

Forty percent of homeless youth are LGBTQ.

I claim the time in opposition, although I do not oppose the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Illinois is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I just ask my colleagues, let us join together. There was never a more important time to treasure our democracy and fund the programs that protect them.

If the local government has to pay back the loans, that is a local share.

You are finding an excuse to kill the project.

Because it speaks to the whole country and our economic opportunities that we care about each other and recognize in a sense that we are stronger together than divided.

If not, she is hiding in plain sight. I mean, Helen Foster has been on TV for some some time.

We should never forget that the breadth and scope of participation in our markets by the American public is the envy of the world.

A well-functioning Federal court system is a key pillar to our democracy and is fundamental to ensuring the constitutional rights of all Americans are not infringed.

I am extremely disappointed and confused as to why the GSA scrapped a decades long plan to build a new FBI headquarters in the DC metro area.

The economic and national security justifications provided by GSA remain insufficient, and I am encouraged that the GSA's inspector general is investigating this sudden reversal.
