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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I request a recorded vote.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

We cannot let these benefits fall by the wayside, especially those that empower veterans and help set them on the path to a successful civilian life.

I have long advocated for increased screenings for veterans as they move through the Transition Assistance Program.

The attempted upgrade of the electronic health record at the VA has gone poorly, and that is understated.

Congress must make sure the VA does its job for veterans and those who want to assist them by improving the accreditation application process.
