What resources do you need to successfully implement this Indo-Pacific Strategy so that we can be a continued presence not just in the Arctic but also in the Indo-Pacific?

I also would like to begin by acknowledging the Coast Guard's ongoing search and rescue efforts out of Boston to find the submersible that went missing near the wreck of the Titanic.

Please keep my office apprised if there are any of these that you feel like are being insufficiently addressed.

I completely support President Biden's goal of reaching 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030.

It is, to me, both a violation of medical best practice and immoral to say to patients... that they have to have out-of-pocket cost.

You are not going to be able to offshore your thievery, OK? That is not going to stand in the United States.

I thank Representative Hill for his partnership and leadership on this subject. The benefits that the United States enjoys due to the dollar's global reserve status have been called an exorbitant privilege, but that privilege rests in part…

The best way to reduce inflation, though, is to expand the productive capacity of our economy.

Congratulations, Admiral, on your historic appointment.

It's just so heartening to have a Secretary of the Transportation Department, a former mayor who took on parking minimums.

It seeks to replace America's post-war pattern of development, a very brittle one focused on automobile traffic and single-family zoning, with a much more vital and socioeconomically rich pattern of multifamily development and streets…

As a former city councilor, I chaired the Transportation and Public Safety Committee and was a member of the Land Use Committee in my hometown.

I am also glad that over the course of this session, you have really cleared up that you agree that you require congressional authorization to issue a CBDC.

When we make transportation options accessible for everybody, regardless of ability, we make them better transportation options for all of the United States.
