Nothing is perfect. We can always make a mistake; we can always miss something. But let us not ignore the good work that has been done previously.

Are they included in this Muslim ban? Yes.

I thank my colleagues for joining me tonight to stand in solidarity with our neighbors in Canada, and honor the victims of the January 29 terrorist attack at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Center in Quebec City. A house of worship is a place…

We must shore up vulnerabilities that exist throughout all transportation systems.

I look forward to your testimony about disparities between the rights of these Federal employees in comparison to those in the other workforce.

I look forward to working in a bipartisan way to ensure that we have efficiency, effectiveness, and a robust traveling economy.

TSA needs stability. It needs the access to the fees that are being diverted for other reasons, because that money can be used for purposes of improving technology.

It is so important that we recognize the significance of the people on line and recognize that, because things have not happened that are bad, don't ignore the problems that exist as it relates to them.

I look forward to hearing your perspective on how we can enhance security while facilitating an efficient experience for travelers.

I also look forward to your perspective on ensuring that the aviation security fee... is utilized as a resource for enhancing aviation security.

We support the work that you need to do, the resources that you need to do it, and the independence that you need to do it.

So then would you take the information that you have and the need that you would have to interview individuals no longer with government to some other element in the Justice Department and ask that it be pursued there, or is there no other…

I'm glad to hear that and sorry to have to deal with that issue, because I certainly am alarmed by the tone that the President Trump has said in his first few days in office.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.

I thank the gentleman. In his first full week as President, Donald Trump continued to make a mockery of the ideas upon which our Nation was founded. In addition, his de facto Muslim ban is contrary to the national security interests of the…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. H.R. 7 will make permanent the harmful and discriminatory Hyde amendment, penalizing small businesses who want to provide comprehensive health coverage to their employees and, once again, trampling on…

We are in week 2 of this 115th Congress, and, as promised, my colleagues and I are here to stand up for this good Nation. Unfortunately, House Republicans cannot say the same. Last night, they decided that nursing home coverage for…

By nominating Tom Price as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, President-elect Trump will continue his assault on the health of Americans. The HHS nominee has made a career on lining the pockets of insurance companies at the…

I thank my colleague for sharing his insights and his experience with us. We have a lot of work to do, and we are ready to do it. Mr. Speaker, in addition to those that my colleague has mentioned, I would like to bring attention to some of…

I thank the Congresswoman. It is true. As we see the unfolding of some of the drama that is taking place, including that which affects us and is associated with Russia, it is even more important than ever that the President show us that he…

I want to thank my colleague for coming and taking the time and speaking on behalf of public education and students everywhere. We talked about it before, and I am happy to announce that we will be working as part of the House Public…

I am here this evening representing the Congressional Progressive Caucus in this Special Order hour, and I will be joined by colleagues as we will examine what our future appears to look like as we plan for the transition which is taking…

What is more important than being the President of the United States? For all of us here, that is a no- brainer; but, each day, I find myself asking that of the President- elect. Last night, we watched President Obama say farewell to the…

I thank my colleagues who have spoken this evening. As I have said, I would have liked to have spent this transition period working with the President-elect on ways to solve our Nation's issues. I would have liked to have been reassured…
