We have approached this on a very bipartisan basis, and we would like that same approach going forward.

There are massive capital investment needs on the Northeast Corridor which are way beyond the capacity of Amtrak in any way, shape, or form alone just on revenue, fares, et cetera to pay for, including bridges and track safety.

One of those bad decisions is the President's shortsighted proposal to privatize our Nation's air traffic control system.

President Trump's tweet in May that we need a good shutdown in September and many of his budget proposals that make cuts for cuts' sake only add anxiety, exacerbate uncertainty, and promote bad strategic decisions.

We need a budget deal that provides essential increases to meet the needs of the Nation, as well as parity between defense and non-defense discretionary spending.

I am concerned about the impact that elimination of long-distance service would have on shared infrastructure with state-supported routes.

I am also disappointed by the changes being proposed to the Essential Air Service program that keeps much of rural America connected to the transportation network.

The elimination of the highly effective and popular TIGER program, for which I have advocated consistently since its creation nearly a decade ago, is a mistake.

Your budget will be what we finally, on a bipartisan basis, vote for.

Russia's plotting with proxies inside Montenegro and the failed attempt to overthrow the pro-Western government and assassinate the Prime Minister marks a dangerous escalation of its malign influence activities.

Russia has used a range of coercive tools at its disposal, including political pressure, economic manipulation, collaboration with corrupt local networks, propaganda, deception and denials, and increasingly military force.

These events are a pattern of Russian aggression that has occurred repeatedly across Europe and the United States.

We must take our own side in this fight, not as Republicans, not as Democrats, but as Americans.

As you cut long-distance routes, ironically it appears from our analysis that it is going to cost more overall.

Not only the reaffirmation of Article 5, but also a positive statement about the common threat of cyber against the United States.

I share your concern that the President really has to take the lead here for obvious reasons.

Are we taking it serious enough? I guess that's the issue.

So we're, again, about 18 months away from election. We have to be able to develop, not technical infrastructure, but an organizational infrastructure that could react, maybe on very short notice, to discovery that actual votes were being…

On Thursday, June 15, 2017, I was unable to vote on rollcall No. 308: Passage of H.R. 2579, ``Broader Options for Americans Act.'' Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes.''

I would expect at some point, not right away, but at some point that Mr. Mueller would feel he has to depose the president.

The President, I would think, is downplaying the seriousness of this threat.

You've testified that the President asked you to lift the cloud by essentially making public statement that exonerated him...

There have been press reports that the President, in addition to asking you to drop the Flynn investigation...

Was that a rather unsubtle attempt to intimidate you from testifying and intimidate anyone else who seriously crosses his path, of not doing it?

Undermining the very core of our democracy and our elections is not a discrete event.
