It is even more important now that we have Members who are actually threatening witnesses with arrest and prosecution for clearly imaginary offenses.

But this morning, we returned not to focus on advancing this robust agenda of progress, but instead to take up an authentically trivial pursuit, all based on the obsessive victimology of right-wing politics in America.

I agree with you, Mr. Chairman.

The violence and the chaos that was reaped upon this institution, not far from where we sit today, on January 6, the attempt to topple a Presidential election and install someone who had not been elected as President, was facilitated by…

There is a collective responsibility across the private sector and the public sector to address our shared threats.

Did I hear you correctly to say that there were thousands or even hundreds of thousands of counterfeit Twitter accounts set up by Russian propaganda?

But instead of letting this trivial pursuit go, my colleagues have tried to whip up a full scandal about this two-day lapse in their ability to spread Hunter Biden propaganda on a private media platform.

I believe that would be a profound failure.

Thank you kindly, Mr. Chairman. Last night in his State of the Union address, over all the heckling, President Biden reviewed significant achievements his Administration and congressional Democrats are delivering for the American people.

The whole hearing was predicated on the idea that the FBI directed Twitter to take down the New York Post story to protect Biden, but, once again, not a single witness testified that the FBI even communicated with Twitter about the New…

Today's witnesses, each and every one, testified that no U.S. Government official directed any of them to censor, remove, or take down the New York Post story.

86 percent of the people convicted of fentanyl smuggling in 2021 were American citizens, not foreign nationals.

But all we have to go on otherwise are prior statements that people have made.

The purpose of oversight is to collect facts that will allow us to legislate effectively to promote the common good and solve the Nation's problems.

We are a land premised on opportunity and freedom and dedicated to the proposition that all of us are created equal.

It says: Good morning to everyone, except Oversight members who are using today's hearing to amplify White nationalist conspiracy theories instead of a comprehensive solution.

I would love nothing more than to have every member of this committee together, you and I could issue a statement together on behalf of the entire committee, denouncing the great replacement theory.

It's been a long day, but very productive day.

It would be great if people will just say we don't believe that, and we would like to turn down the temperature on this.

It actually--that's not what it says, Mr. Chairman. I'm happy to read it.

No one has said that. And I disavow and renounce and denounce that sentiment.

The gentlewoman makes an interesting argument. Of course, if physical presence in Washington is necessary, then that agency never should have been stripped from Washington and relocated in Colorado in the first place. One could say that…

To address two points. One, let's grab the bull by the horns with this IRS point. The President's budget included $80 billion to increase staffing and to update technology at the IRS so our constituents can get their calls returned. If you…

We strongly oppose this bill, which is an assault on all the progress we have made over the last several years in telework policy. Telework has strengthened private and public workplaces across the land, enhanced productivity, increased…

I will tell you a story about a couple that both work for the Federal Government. Earlier this month, the spouse of an Army servicemember, seeking approval to go work overseas for the State Department, contacted the Oversight Committee…
