The security of our Nation's seaports is vital to the success of our economy.

Today I honor the centennial legacy of empowerment and service embodied by the Tau Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, celebrating 100 years of unwavering commitment to sisterhood, scholarship, service, and social action. Chartered in…

I think it is interesting that it was not until Donald Trump lost the 2020 election that my Republican colleagues began to take issues with CISA's disinformation activities.

For nearly a year, Ranking Member Thompson has been calling for TSA to require all passengers to go through TSA's own identity verification processes.

Addressing these vulnerabilities does not require any futuristic technology or creative solution; it simply requires TSA to stop outsourcing identity verification functions to a corporation seeking to make a profit.

This is important. You know, I'm a scientist by training. I'm an innovator. I love technology...

TSA must prioritize protections for privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, even to an extreme degree.

Funding our Government 45 days at a time has consequences.

But for the second time this year, the dysfunctional Republican Majority has brought our Government to the brink of a shutdown after weeks of infighting.

In Congress, our mission is clear: to serve the people. However, a pattern has emerged that is troubling. We are seeing an endless cycle of censure resolutions and impeachment measures from some factions within the Republican Party. This…

I would like to see Congress provide sustained funding for checkpoint security technologies, which is why I am a cosponsor of Ranking Member Thompson's bill, the Fund the TSA Act.

We must support small businesses, since they are some of the biggest drivers of innovation and progress.

It's good business to be good and take care of your staff, your employees.

To build on this progress, we must provide additional funding to not only preserve those pay raises for this fiscal year, but to empower TSA workers with next-generation technology that will maximize TSA's detection capabilities.

For too long, some passenger populations have been disproportionately subjected to invasive pat-downs due to alarms from screening technology.

I'm bothered by the huge turnover in these hardworking people, because we've got to compete for their services.

Under the Biden administration, TSA has made impressive progress in addressing these issues by deploying an updated algorithm that reduces false alarms by 50 percent.

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H.R. 3881, the Credit Card Competition Act. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's request is granted. ____________________

The uncertainty created by the right-wing Republicans hearkens back to the 2019 shutdown that left Coast Guard members working without pay for weeks.

Without immediate action, Government funding will run out on Saturday at 11:59 p.m.

Congress must act immediately to ensure operations in the Indo-Pacific and around the globe are fully funded for this fiscal year.

The climate change represents the greatest existential threat to small Pacific Island nations facing rising sea levels and depleting fishing stock.

I want to applaud your work fighting the previous administration's inhumane policies.

the hardship of being an immigrant is something that is often forgotten when speaking about border policy.
