What would be the most effective way for Congress to improve the ability of States and the Federal Government to recover species more quickly and protect species before they reach the point of becoming severely threatened or endangered?

If the Federal role under the Endangered Species Act is diminished, how are States going to protect critical habitat for conservation if many do not have the authority under their own States to do so in the first place?

How has access to quality and affordable health care for these patients helped control health care costs?

I am particularly concerned about the more than 1.9 million older adults between the ages of 55 and 64 who have a chronic or pre-existing condition and rely on existing protections in order to access basic health care.

Given that on average an American with multiple chronic conditions will end up spending up to 14 times more on health care services than someone without chronic conditions, it is imperative that these Americans continue to have access to…

I think a lot of women woke up this morning and said, this is not over.

Our voices do matter. Our stories do matter, and we are going to take the courage of Dr. Blasey Ford and project it because she spoke for all of us.

I just looked at her, and I said, we are not going to give up. We are going to keep fighting.

I think it's both actually. I think Dr. Ford's testimony was so profound and so inspiring. I think that she showed such courage that people really see her as a hero.

I think what Dr. Blasey Ford accomplished yesterday was really important. She told her truth, and she had so much courage and so much determination and was so honest.

I understand. But, I think there's even more authority that you should seek, especially in giving more support to the National Guard.

I think that's a mistake. So, one thing that I hope you will do is seek the authorities that you think you need from this committee.

I believe that better coordination, more holistic coordination, through the National Guard perhaps, so that the States can have on-the-ground expertise.

I'm very concerned that foreign adversaries have abused the borderless nature of the Internet to stage cyberattacks on our domestic critical infrastructure, such as our election system.

What does the White House have to hide? What does Judge Kavanaugh have to hide? Why will the Senate Republicans not allow a fair process?

Deborah Ramirez, again, has asked the FBI to investigate her allegations from the 'New Yorker' piece.

I've heard from both sides, and I believe Dr. Blasey Ford and I believe Ms. Ramirez. Both of their stories are credible, unlike his.

No. He's entitled to tell his story, but he kept asking for a fair hearing, and the only way to guarantee a fair hearing is for the FBI to do a thorough background check, which now is not a complete background check because there's two…

Well, a Fox News interview is not the same as an FBI interview, and if he's willing to talk to Fox News about his views, I don't understand why he's unwilling to talk to the FBI so they can do a proper investigation.

The Administration goes up and down on trade, it has real world consequences, and one of them, sadly, is a lot of businesses are struggling.

Despite all of this, President Trump's past two budgets have called for the elimination of the Commission.

The Northern Border Regional Commission has invested more than $57.6 million in Federal funds in some of the most distressed areas in New York State's Northern Border Region.

This bill would curtail and limit the authority of New York and other States to protect their own water quality resources and the health, safety and welfare of their residents.

What she wanted to do was raise the funding fee from 2.25 to 2.4 percent.

I think it is important, in this hearing, that we directly address the pay-for in H.R. 299 that will offset the nearly $1 billion cost of caring for our Blue Water Navy veterans.
