I want to be clear what we are talking about here. We are not talking about ordinary shoplifting committed by individuals working alone.

Many of us have heard from retailers concerned by organized retail crime, and so today's hearing is for us to explore the scope of the problem and determine best how to respond.

I believe in your opening statements, our witnesses verified that assessment today.

Racially- and ethnically-motivated violent extremists present the greatest terror threats to our country.

I am here to speak in opposition to Representative Boebert's bill, H.R. 6009.

I commend the Biden administration for trying to change that, for trying to tip the scales at least a little bit in the direction of working people.

A strong leader and the President of the United States or a Member of Congress would condemn it in no uncertain terms, not say: Fine people on both sides.

There should be investigations as the House language calls, but I would hope that the House in this particular provision stands by its guns during the conference that's now under way.

We, as a Congress, have a responsibility to make sure that kind of intelligence failure does not happen again.

There was a massive intelligence failure in the lead-up to Hamas' attack on Israel.

Make no mistake, as President Biden said, the United States of America stands firmly and unequivocally with Israel and against the evil that is Hamas.

The Iranian regime is a danger to global stability and our own homeland security.

The Honorable Seth Magaziner, a Representative in Congress From the State of Rhode Island:

So, slashing funding from public parks and the National Park Service, opening up protected land to oil and gas drilling, privatization. This is not how you protect national parks, which I am glad to hear my colleagues care so deeply about.

Perhaps because they are so concerned, they will reconsider the budget bill that they are trying to move that would cut $436 million from the National Park Service, a 13 percent cut from last year.

As a Government and as a Congress, we need to constantly be anticipating threats to the United States homeland...

Terrorist attacks are increasing across the continent of Africa, making this a critical and timely oversight topic for this committee.

It is in America's national security interest to be a good partner to those nations in Africa who are aligned with our values.

Terrorism is increasing across the continent of Africa, making this a critical and timely oversight topic for this committee.

Our Republican colleagues are trying actively to pass a budget that would force you to pick up the entire tab.

It's not fair for municipalities to bear the cost.

We could be and should be working together in a bipartisan way to address the humanitarian crisis at the border.

We do have a humanitarian crisis at the border and the way you deal with a humanitarian crisis is with humanity.

Yes, and on that, and I know you spoke to this earlier, but I think this is an important point, in addition to sourcing these critical minerals, we need to be focused on recycling them and using them efficiently because they are scarce.

I have heard some of my colleagues from the other side intimate that because there are critical minerals found in clean energy development, that that means that we should pump the brakes on rolling out clean energy to reverse climate…
