Jim, by definition, I believe when you're talking a CR or a debt ceiling, either one, there's enough Republicans who will never vote for it. So, you have to work across the aisle.

So, Plan B is probably going to be something that we had yesterday with maybe some smaller revisions to it. And we are going to have to work with President Trump on the debt ceiling.

All Americans have to live by the law. And we're all accountable for our behavior.

Once we realize there is not a high crime or misdemeanor, we should move on.

It's in our national security interest that Ukraine remain independent.

There's just got to be a bicameral, bipartisan solution.

We want to force the president's hand on the kinds of weapons that we will provide.

Speaker Johnson is an honest man. He truly walks his faith.

When the staff tells you that they can't identify a particular crime, there is a problem.

It establishes research centers at our American land-grant institutions across the nation with a purpose of researching physical and biological cyber threats to American agriculture.

I have been working on a bill for a couple of years called the American Agriculture Security Act of 2024.
