This legislation would take a parcel of land into restricted fee status for the Oglala Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.

We have a tendency to think about dark days like Wounded Knee as in the ancient past.

I think now it is altogether appropriate for the Federal Government to step up in partnership to try to make sure that this sacred site is protected in the right way.

Let us not use polite phrases to ignore the reality: this was no battle, this was a massacre.

December 29, 1890 was most assuredly one of those dark days.

A central part of the American experience has been our journey toward a more perfect union.

Yes, I think that is very well said. I think there is all the evidence in the world that there are robust customer protections within that regime, that the CFTC is a strong market regulator.

This is the best debt ceiling deal that Republicans have ever cut.

I think it caused many Americans to believe that he was being stubborn and intransigent, and I think it really -- it put his negotiators in a weaker position than if they just would have come to the table a hundred days ago.

There will be hits and misses with digital assets.

I'm excited to note our unprecedented cooperation with the House Financial Services Committee in this effort.

We are tasked with examining digital asset markets and I think, most importantly, understanding what are the gaps in this regulatory framework.

Instead of engaging in divisive policy making, we encourage you to focus on present efforts that bolster the domestic supply of liquid fuels.

This proposal, paired with efforts to subsidize the purchase of electric vehicles, is unfairly choosing winners and losers in a sector that is actively working to decarbonize.

We are concerned that in furthering the Administration's goal of lowering emissions in the transportation sector, the EPA is forgoing existing technologies and methods for decarbonization in favor of pushing an 'all-electric' future.

Last Congress on a bipartisan vote this House voted to allow year-round E15 across the country.

Yes, it is my understanding and my hope that giving them the same Reid Vapor Pressure waiver that E10 has would mean that both products would be available.
