We are still wrestling with many of those issues today.

Yesterday, some of us were privileged to attend a briefing by Sam Altman on generative AI.

Mr. Chair, I believe today's hearing is a wasteful and ultimately irresponsible use of this Subcommittee's time.

Let me be clear. Democrats stand with the majority of the American public and will always oppose such a radical position.

I should be astonished, but I am not, that the Chair of the Committee would quote from the discredited Durham Report.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 219, nays 213, not voting 3, as follows: [Roll No. 209] YEAS--219 Aderholt…

I now yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz).

When I hear the rhetoric on the other side, it is one of the very few times I say to myself: Thank God for the existence of the United States Senate. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Jayapal).

There were 3.4 million queries of this data base and 30 percent of those were in error.

Seven years later that number has still not been provided.

I, myself, have never voted to reauthorize Section 702, but I recognize that these authorities are also important to national security especially in today's threat environment.

Mr. Chair, violence continues to take the lives of more than 100 Americans every single day.

The reality is that the issues Ms. Rodas and The New York Times have flagged should not be happening under current law and policy.

Unaccompanied children would undergo their first Immigration Court hearing within 14 days of their border screening.

Conditions in their home countries are pushing these people, kids and adults, out.

Even more alarmingly, the Republicans' bill would subject unaccompanied children to detention in jail-like Customs and Border Protection facilities for up to 30 days, 10 times longer than what is permitted under current law.

The majority's supposed concern for the exploited children that are the subject of today's hearing is hard to reconcile with a bill that would render unaccompanied children more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.

This would lead to the summary return of too many children with valid protection claims, the same dangers they fled.

It is critical therefore that federal transportation policies not only try to repair the damage that failed past policies have done, but help prevent such harmful impacts by continuing to protect the ability of communities of all means to…

More proactive and meaningful community participation and engagement on federal projects results in better projects and better use of taxpayer funds.

New York City's murder rate is 18 percent below the national average.

New York City is safer than most cities and even most States in America.

Last year, when we were in control, the Democrats in the House passed very comprehensive gun control legislation.

As a result of DA Bragg's prosecution, two men are currently serving life sentences for the murder of your son.

Most of my friends are so disheartened with you and Mr. Schumer, you don't understand. We wouldn't vote for Mr. Schumer again if we stood on our head.
