Ending hunger is something that we as Americans can do, and it absolutely should be a bipartisan effort.

As Chairman McGovern said earlier, you know, this is completely solvable, and the money is there.

The people who are hungry, who are dealing with hunger, deserve respect. They deserve dignity.

People used to say hunger is a nonpartisan issue, and I really want to stand here today... to say that we all need to be kid-partisan, without question.

I think if we are going to move forward, we need to hear from those with lived experiences.

In closing, ending hunger begins with the safety net, but it does not stop there.

If you are hungry, you can't focus. A worker who is hungry, they are not productive in the workforce.

There is no one committee that deals with hunger here, and there is no one committee that deals with nutrition here in Congress.

We will not be able to solve climate change. We will not be--our food insecurity will be heightened.

China is moving at a more rapid pace than we are, in terms of internet connection.

We built broadband programs during the last farm bill which promote fast, future-proof networks that will stand the test of time.

We have 24 million of our people not connected to the internet, which means, in the rural area, we have our farmers not connected to the internet.

An updated AUMF is legally important to give our military clear statutory authority to fight terrorist groups that threaten the United States today.

We ought to have the courage to be able to debate these issues.

Do you people in Congress even know what the hell is going on over here?

It can't be easier to get into a war than it is to get out of one.

I am convinced that Congress can come together to agree on a new AUMF that provides the President and our military the clear legislative authorization.

I am in full agreement with my colleagues who support reforming the 2001 AUMF, but I would also caution that we should not simply repeal these authorities without ensuring there is an appropriate replacement.

I have long advocated revising the 2001 AUMF to update it to address contemporary terrorist threats.

the process for how we wage war and establish peace in this country is broken. It is badly broken.

The Framers put the power to declare war in the hands of Congress.

Part of the problem is the executive branch wanting to take as much power as it can possibly get.

I do think that it is--that there are cases where the United States can stumble into wars that are mistaken wars.

There is this what I call moral cowardice that exists and has existed for some time.

I am not sure I would do it again because I never thought that that could be twisted and interpreted in so many different ways.
