Nancy Mace

We should not reward individuals unlawfully present in the United States with benefits that were created for American citizens.

No one is in charge. No one is responsible. No one is ever going to be held accountable, and everybody gets to keep their job.

In the business sector, if you lose $1 billion, you lose your job, or you have an audit.

We are wasting billions of dollars every single year. And no one, no one that comes before these Committees ever have any answers.

So, what is the plan going forward? Do you plan to stay with the Defense Travel System for another 25 years?

Do you believe if you are in charge of wasting $374 million on a contract that you should keep your job? "Yes" or "no."

So, why should the Congress believe the department now will meet this goal when it has never done so in its history?

If you filibuster, I will interrupt you.

America, we all know, must be at the forefront of AI integration to counter our enemies abroad, but also use it for good.

The AI Training Expansion Act is a substantial bipartisan bill to help our Federal workforce win the race for AI.

I especially, again, want to thank Representative Katie Porter of California for her support as an original co-sponsor of H.R. 4502.

Only 1 in 16 Federal cybersecurity workers are actually under the age of 30.

Today, a brilliant computer whiz who drops out of Harvard for a year or two, like Bill Gates and other billionaires, would stand little chance of securing a Federal job in IT and cybersecurity.

There is a shortage of over 700,000 cybersecurity professionals in the public and private sector.

You cannot deem one applicant more qualified for a Federal cybersecurity job just because he or she has a degree in underwater basket weaving.

Representative Nancy Mace's simple bill ensures that the Federal Government can hire any qualified cybersecurity professional as long as they have the right knowledge and skills, even if they do not have a fancy degree.

I would encourage us to show leadership on the Federal level and the national level how we all can join hands and do something for the good of every single taxpayer in this country.

We are actually working together, working across the aisle to make government work better, run better, be more efficient and save taxpayer dollars.

Sometimes small parts make a huge difference in the Federal Government.

I request a recorded vote.

We have seen dozens of Federal agencies hacked by agents of China and Russia, and we have got to be prepared for the future.

I will tell you, my impression--and this is an opinion and impression of what I have seen--the FBI did more work than the others, in my opinion.

I do care if science is tainted by politics, as the Proximal Origin authors wrote in their own emails.

Recent developments in AI will change the way we live and work, and we must maintain our edge over China in AI development.

There have been a lot of concerns about AI and technologies, robotics, et cetera.
