if judges start legislating from the bench on this kind of medicine, it could be anything.

I watched as politician after politician has gotten up on daises like this and held hearings like this and said, oh, I am so sorry, we should address this crisis, but then actually wouldn't do anything because it is just political theater.

We know the facts are very clear on this, that 90 percent of fentanyl is coming into the United States across legal ports of entry.

I find it disgusting. I find it frustrating. It is why I ran for office, because I am sick of politicians just coming in front of people and saying, oh, we will fix the problem, and then they go and do their political theater.

What we don't need is a bunch of political theater bringing people into our chambers to tell their stories just so you can go out there and talk to Fox News and make your point.

This is not a new crisis. It is all right there in the report.

what we have heard over and over again, including from all five chiefs of Border Patrol, is they need more resources.

I implore my colleagues across the aisle to not turn this hearing into a partisan hearing.

We know that Congress has to act, and I implore my colleagues to help address this issue.

The fentanyl crisis is not a partisan issue. Opioid addiction...does not know any political party.

climate change is real, it is happening.
