It appears that this was going on for many months without the Airman, allegedly, being caught.

Until that new system is in place, I welcome the Department's continued commitment to recapitalizing all of the legacy KC-135 aircraft across the Air Force.

I'm concerned that we now have another major data breach.

We can't fix every problem, but, boy, we ought to be able to fix that one.

Our asylum system is fundamentally broken. Our whole immigration system is broken and I very much look forward to working with you on a bipartisan basis.

Finally, let me very briefly mention and remind you of the pressing need for a new Border Patrol station in Houlton, Maine.

The asylum seekers are eager to work and support themselves and their families. The employers in my state are desperate for more workers, and it would also benefit the municipalities that are under increasing strain as they're supporting…

So if we allowed asylum seekers to work after 1 month vetting period as long as they entered through a legal port of entry, 1 month would give us time to do an initial background check to make sure they weren't on the terrorist watch list…

Senator Sinema and I, along with a bipartisan coalition, have introduced legislation that would shorten the period to 1 month.

We can't fix every problem, but, boy, we ought to be able to fix that one.

I want to tell you a story to illustrate a real problem that we have because of the current law that prohibits asylum seekers from working for a number of months.

I am concerned that the lack of face-to-face meetings may be negatively affecting the FDA's ability to keep pace and retain its scientific and regulatory stature as the gold standard.

Clinical holds can be an important and appropriate tool for the Agency to utilize when a potential concern with an application has surfaced, but they are not a substitute for timely, constructive, and clear communication to sponsors.

For nearly a quarter century the FDA and the manufacturer have brazenly flouted the law and applicable regulations, disregarded holes and red flags and their own safety data, intentionally evaded judicial review, and continually placed…

I also want to point out that we have had very good discussions on Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS).

In Maine, the presence of PFAS... is preventing some of our family farmers from being able to sell their products.

I'm concerned that we now have another major data breach.

The presence of PFAS, and wastewater sludge spread decades ago as fertilizer is preventing some of our family farmers from being able to sell their products, causing them significant financial harm.

I know this is of great interest to the Chairman as well, of that class of forever chemicals that are being found in our soil, our water, our animal feed, our crops, and our livestock.
