Every single Republican Member of this committee actually voted to slash that program, along with other grant programs as well.

I think we should also be as honest about what we are actually doing here.

The far right wants revenge, and they want to revenge on corporations, on working people, on everybody.

The Majority is clearly trying to score political points with some sort of panic around whatever wokeism is.

I also agree that the Port Security Grant Program is critical for ports across the country.

I'm also proud to co-chair the Congressional Ports Caucus and understand how critical port infrastructure is to the Nation's economy.

I'm proud to represent Long Beach and the Port of Long Beach, and Port of Long Beach and LA, of course, are the largest port complex in the United States as it relates to cargo container volume.

We have demonstrated that our government can work better efficiently and still get a lot of progress for the American people.

Republicans are still trying to propose cuts across our government, which is really unacceptable.

Investments in climate change lower the government's fiscal exposure, and that is something that has been pretty clear.

our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, unfortunately, want to propose just damaging spending cuts that would damage a lot of this progress.

We have seen an incredible amount of progress, and a lot of us are really grateful for the work that has happened throughout the Administration.
