President Trump called the post office a joke. Is it a joke?

So, the GOP apparently has a strategy of sabotaging the Post Office, thereby creating all kinds of collateral damage for other people.

The democracy is on the ballot in 2020.

We're asking them to solve problems that the Federal Government has been making worse.

So, federalism is on the side of the majority here. It's the administration that is defeating the values of federalism by trying to use money as a threat to force people to meet the will of the President.

If we really want our kids to go back to school safely, the single most important thing we can do has nothing to do with education at all, and that is defeat the virus.

What infuriates me about what is happening today is that it's an unforced error.

As Secretary Duncan observed, we're in this agonizing situation because of the miserable failure of the administration to develop an effective national strategy to defeat COVID-19.

I'm amazed that our distinguished colleague, Mr. Green, rails against the Federal threat to local decisionmaking here when it is precisely President Trump who is trying to dictate to state and local governments.

this administration is doing everything it can to undo a lot of the progress by reversing dozens of air pollution regulations that we have put in place at the EPA.

I remember when critics of the climate change consensus in the scientific community used to deny the existence and reality of climate change.

Is there something illogical or strange about trying to make progress on climate change with the same solutions we're using to try to reduce air pollution?

Agencies required to implement the data center consolidation reported in total $4.7 billion in cost savings from Fiscal Year 2012 through 2019.

Will you commit to working with the subcommittee to track data centers in ways that are consistent with the law and GAO's recommendations to improve cybersecurity and maximize the saving of tax dollars?

OMB's changes to the new guidance no longer allowed the subcommittee and GAO to evaluate agency progress toward data center optimization and consolidation.

In June of last year, the day before the FITARA 8.0 hearing, OMB issued guidance which revised and narrowed the definition of a data center.

The administration has failed on testing.

We've got 4.4 million cases. We lead the world in case count. We lead the world in death count.

I thank both you and Dr. Fauci for restating the absolute imperative importance of everybody wearing their masks.

Blaming other countries is not a plan. Blaming China is not a plan.

A stack of paper is not a plan. A large and unwieldy stack of paper is not a plan.

Without widely available rapid testing, it is nearly impossible to control the spread of the virus.

So, what is the difference? Why are all of the other countries defeating the disease and we're not?

would you agree with me that the critical difference is either the presence or the absence of social cohesion and political leadership to actually develop a plan, execute it, and stick to it?

And if you're trying to still figure out why the administration and our Republican colleagues cannot formulate a plan of action, look no further than the disgraceful diversions and distractions of some of our colleagues today.
