I absolutely hate that nothing is done to prevent this from happening.

Something needs to change.

I fully agree with you on the need to solve the fire borrowing issue. I have been an advocate of doing that from day one.

It makes no sense. I am told there are statistics that--it costs four to five times as much to fight a fire as it does to do the kind of work you and I agree needs to be done on the forest.

Hazardous, dangerous, unhealthy air quality smoke from these wildfires is literally choking people to death.

I was a cosponsor of that legislation to do landscape scale collaboratives that we are using in Oregon today.

CMS has to commit itself to implementing and enforcing its own regulations.

Today's hearing is another step forward to improve patient health care.

I appreciate your testimony on all these bills. We have got a lot of work to do, and we do it well on this subcommittee, and I appreciate the leadership of Dr. Burgess and yield back.

This legislation would broaden that authority so that these units could investigate and prosecute abuse and neglect of Medicaid beneficiaries.

Accessing affordable healthcare is a real important issue, and it is one we consistently try to tackle in this committee.

I look forward to our continued bipartisan work in this space.

This bipartisan bill seeks to address that challenge by giving States a new option through the existing health home model.

Let's be clear from the start: Twitter's algorithms have made mistakes and its methods for moderating and policing content have been opaque to consumers.

Banning these so-called 'gag clauses' has gained tremendous bipartisan support.

The Commission's efforts in wildfire and hurricane response, its focus on emergency alerts and implementing improved call routing, location accuracy are key priorities for all of us.

It is my desire to move legislation that will pave the future of transportation fuels into the next decades in the United States.

This hearing is not meant to drive a preordained policy or to settle scores.

This hearing is intended to be educational, and for those of you of a certain vintage, some of you may remember something called encyclopedias like World Book or Britannica.

We reauthorized the FCC for the first time in 28 years under the RAY BAUM'S Act.

So here we do try to work together whenever we can on these issues, 18 bipartisan bills, the RAY BAUM'S Act, and I think we did 57 bills on opioids, virtually all of which were bipartisan.

So, here we do try to work together whenever we can, on these issues -18 bipartisan bills.

I will just add, that while I am pleased the Commission issued its hearing designation order for the Sinclair merger--and in doing so acknowledged the near universal concerns about Sinclair's honesty and candor--I am extremely concerned…

Thank you, Madame Chair, I want to thank you for your leadership on these topics.

These challenges...require a DOE that has the appropriate organization, management focus, and authorities to succeed in its missions.
