"Mr. Chairman, thank you very much for calling this important hearing."
"The problem is getting more serious."
"The Postal Service's proposal focuses on hardening physical infrastructure, which is, of course, helpful in terms of preventing mail theft."
"That just seems baffling to me."
"It seems to me that it is a little counterintuitive if the officers are assigned just to the physical station."

"To be clear, Democrats condemn violence in every form-- ideologically-motivated or otherwise."
"Every single Republican opposed my amendment."
"Democrats do not court the vote or support of far-left extremist groups."
"Not only did the former President fail to condemn far-right groups and ideologies, he allowed them to flourish."
"Historical data makes clear that far-right extremists--particularly white supremacists--are a clear and present threat to homeland security."
"Unfortunately, my Republican colleagues choose to ignore the threats posed by right-wing extremism in favor of playing politics."
