The recent revision is little more than a thinly veiled attempt to stack the deck in favor of extremely costly new regulations.

Had the CTP done its job over the last decade, there should have been tobacco harm reduction products approved.

It is hard to believe that an Agency that has doubled its staff... is still not meeting the deadline for these PMTAs.

The Center for Tobacco Product, or CTP, must make timely decisions on whether products... can be allowed for sale or not.

This country deserves public leaders who fulfill their duties rather than shirk responsibilities and point the finger of blame at others.

I am really deeply disappointed that it took dogged work from Chairman Good and me to get you and the Department of Labor to see reason...

The Biden administration is desperate to shore up support before the November election. It is so desperate, in fact, it has announced its intent to co-opt the Federal Work-Study Program and begin paying college students to register voters…

We have a duty as Members of Congress, not only to represent our constituents but also to conduct oversight of Federal spending programs.

I am very concerned, not only from the chronic absenteeism but from other pandemic effects in schools, that we have a culture problem in schools.

Isn't it a transfer of debt from the people who took it out to people who did not take out the debt?

I do not think those priorities are as focused on the K-12 challenges that we are facing

The Department of Education does not seem to be focusing on this. Instead, it seems to be spending all its time pursuing radical, far-left agenda items, such as college loan forgiveness.
