I think if you are going to give input to individuals on housing and safety and what they feel secure, their own background and perspective, I think that should be given to all in that situation.

Hearts and prayers today go out to the folks in Florida. They have had a very difficult past 24 hours, to say the least, and they will have a long recovery process on that.

Again, this should not be a partisan issue. We should go get the best possible people to be able to serve their neighbors and their friends across the Nation, serving in the Federal family on this.

How do we get folks back to work so we can catch up with the backlog?

The Federal Courts and the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) at Department of Justice (DOJ) have both been very clear on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

This is unprecedented for a former President, obviously, to be able to go through this.

The issue with ERA is settled by the Federal Courts or by Congress, not by the 'Arch I vist,' or the 'Ar-chi-vist.'

In the District of Columbia, the law has to be enforced as it does everywhere else in the country.

The position of the Archivist... is a nonpartisan position that there is not a lot of attention to.

Thanks for holding this hearing.

Will you agree to, in the future, making records available at the National Archives to be able to show what the process was and the decisionmaking was, to be able to reach the point to have greater transparency for the American people?

A raid of a former President's house is unprecedented, and it puts the entire process on full display.

I do not want it to be misunderstood in any way that the National Archives could consider the United States Constitution a potentially offensive document.

Thanks for your engagement at this point and the questions you have already answered.

Political Facebook pages have become places for anger and aggression.

There is not a person that crosses our Southern Border into the United States that does not pay the cartel.

How do you make sure it is balanced, not that organization make sure it is balanced...

I just got blocked from Facebook. We are trying to figure out why.

The consistent fear is that conservative voices are silenced, and when I look at some of the groups that actually do the fact-checking I do not find a lot of conservative groups that do this.

Cartels are transnational criminal organizations that are making money off of moving people illegally into our country.

I do not understand why the platforms look at illegally crossing the border as 'we are going to look the other way.'

For China to have the possibility to have access to 100 million Americans, including most of our young people, that is an issue for us, and it is the reason we ask hard questions.

It is unusual to me that Twitter is blocked in many authoritarian countries, but yet the leaders of those countries are allowed to be on Twitter.

But it also seems to be a patchwork of values in these countries.

This is a major Trojan Horse that needs to be dealt with.
