Let's all work together to rebuild America's aging infrastructure, like the century-old pipes running through the Merrimack Valley.

Houses exploding. Just repeat that phrase: houses exploding.

Amidst the tragedies of the Iraq war, I witnessed one of the proudest demonstrations of democracy in modern times. When Iraqis voted for the first time, they dipped their fingers in ink and, rather than hiding those fingers for fear of…

Humans have killed nearly every right whale in existence through our direct and indirect actions over the past two centuries.

Last year I attended a rally where the father of a gunshot victim spoke, and he talked about all the things that he and other people around this country are doing to end senseless gun violence. Then he turned to the crowd and asked: But…

In my experience as an infantry officer on the ground in Iraq, there were many times when I was asked to do jobs that I was unprepared for and untrained for, because they were State Department jobs, but the State Department wasn't there.

So if we want to be an average country, we are doing just fine.

We have seen that the military solution isn't working.

But we certainly have tax-cut our way into it. And the deficits that have been created by the Trump tax cuts are unprecedented in our nation's history.

Today marks our subcommittee's fifth discussion on reforms to the Department of Defense's background investigation and security clearance process.

You're responsible for everything your platoon does or fails to do.

I absolutely believe that NiSource has safety as a core value.

No American family should go home in the evening with the fear that their house might blow up.

This situation is absurd. Your leadership must be held accountable and it must never happen again.

This is not an analytical judgment. You are telling troops when they can go home.

What you are stating is that sending U.S. troops to Syria as part of a strategy to deter Iran, and with the guidance that they will not be withdrawn until Iran withdraws its forces is not a military operation against Iran?

Right now our troops inside Syria are there for one purpose, and that is under the U.N. authorization about defeating ISIS.

Today, we are seeking clarity on the Trump administration's strategies for achieving U.S. political and military objectives in Syria.

What is your strategy? Moreover, we don't even know what your long-term objectives are.

If that is what the troops are hearing--if that is what the American parents and families of these troops are hearing, and you have already said that that is illegal under the authorization given from Congress, then I think the…

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. Thank you for scheduling this hearing--for rescheduling the hearing due to the hurricane.

America is keeping kids in cages. America is keeping kids in cages. Many people across our country have risen to say that this is not who we are. It doesn't represent our values, our ideals, or our Constitution. But the sad reality is that…

I would just like to thank the chairman for his help in supporting this amendment, and ushering it through the process. I think it is a good amendment, and I am proud to have bipartisan support for it. Mr. Chair, I yield the remainder of…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add at the end of title I the following: SEC. __. CORPS OF ENGINEERS CONTINUING AUTHORITIES PROGRAM…

But one of the things we learn in the Marines is that of all of the different leadership steps: coming up with a great plan, doing the reconnaissance to get the intelligence, none of it really matters unless you supervise what happens.
