Maybe that is one of the reasons why we haven't gotten anywhere with it.

I waived on to this subcommittee because I have had this issue as one of mine when I was the chair of the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Subcommittee for the last three general assemblies.

The truth matters. The truth matters. Hiding information and stating a lie over and over again does not make it true.

My Republican colleagues would like me and others to believe that they've suddenly found religion when it comes to misconduct in law enforcement. Give me a break.

This is defunding the police on steroids.

The real divide in America is not between Democrats and Republicans. It's between people who love this country, who believe in the rule of law, who want to follow the law, and those who will fight to make our union more perfect and the…

This is not a Committee on the Weaponization of Government. This is a Committee for the Weaponization of Government.

What's clear from these hearings is that Donald Trump knows, just as well as I do, that the danger to him and his MAGA movement is the rule of law.

This Committee is a clearinghouse for testing conspiracy theories for Donald Trump to use in his 2024 Presidential Campaign.

My Republican colleagues aren't here, representing their constituents, not my constituents. They're representing Donald Trump.

When the FBI is rifling through personal correspondence of people of color, when law enforcement tries to push policies to limit the freedom of people practicing a different religion, or unjustly pursuing people in cars who look like…

Instead of trying to make their constituents lives' better, they're wasting time and taxpayer dollars on an endless, fruitless string of partisan investigations.

My colleagues on the far right are on a mission to attack, discredit, and ultimately dismantle the FBI.

The Flight School Association of North America (FSANA) which was formed in 2009 would like to go on record as fully supporting that the '1,500-hour' rule remain in place with no changes.

The United States has continued to experience the safest 13 years in the history of airline transportation in America in large part because of the '1,500-hour' minimum requirement for pilot training as passed by Congress in 2010.

The aviation industry is approaching a critical juncture with respect to its talent development, especially the recruitment, training, and retention of individuals in its workforce.

A deviation from current regulatory practices that have served to produce the safest period of airline travel in the United States since they were implemented represents a major risk to the flying public.

A decade earlier, this Committee also came together, again in bipartisan fashion, to address another crisis in U.S. aviation: the unacceptably high number of airline passenger fatalities.

I applaud the FAA, Congress, and the aviation stakeholders for their efforts thus far in helping move the needle in the right direction to develop the U.S. aerospace workforce.

It's the first 2-year program of its kind in Tennessee and is poised to help diversify the aviation workforce.

The reality is that without a robust workforce, planes cannot fly and people cannot travel safely.

They have continued working with HBCUs to break down barriers for Black students.
