It's clear that we will not win the war in Afghanistan. But there are still many disastrous ways that we can lose.

Irrespective of the Trump administration's failures, this responsibility is now squarely on the shoulders of the Biden administration.

The Trump administration set us on a withdrawal timeline for this month, and it's clear from the testimony this morning that they laid out no clear plans for how that would actually be accomplished.

That's going to take a lot of space.

My bill, the American High-Speed Rail Act, ensures operators are deemed carriers, upholds hard-won protections like Buy America and Davis-Bacon, and requires FRA to promulgate standards and regulations for high-speed rail.

We fully endorse President Biden's initiatives to improve America's passenger rail experience.

We've actually--Judge, we've actually transferred about $158 billion in general funds, so you know, not quite twice as much but almost twice as much as we've invested in Amtrak in its entire history into the Highway Trust Fund.

I have been a huge supporter of Amtrak for many years in Congress and beyond.
