We ought to stop treating you like an afterthought.

There is nothing about this budget that demonstrates a respect for the growing and critical nature of your missions.

We know we are not where we should be on the Polar Security Cutter program.

We have very strong concerns about the recapitalization and how it is actually synchronized.

My deepest concern is the growing evidence that Congress has allowed the FAA to delegate increasingly more authority to Boeing to certify the safety of its own airplanes--which is directly jeopardizing the lives of air travelers.

It was 'unconscionable that a manufacturer, the FAA, and the airlines would have pilots flying an airplane without adequately training.'

Has the FAA considered requiring that pilots that fly the MAX get simulator training?

How can it be that we didn't tell the pilots about MCAS?

It just seems like common sense should have taken control.

So the opposite of data is common sense?

I express my sadness at the loss of the individuals and for the parents to be present here, and all the relatives.

If you give people a step up, it's really important not only for them but for the whole society.

This is not going to happen. Trump and Barr would fire whoever tried to do it.

I think this is the most contemptuous conduct towards Congress we've ever had. He's lied to Congress, he's refused to attend, he's tried to dictate the terms of oversight and that's never happened before.

He's being utterly contemptuous to Congress. He has lied to the Congress.

I have no reason to believe they'll do anything that is in keeping with the traditions of the relationship between the executive and the judicial as equal branches of government. I think they will stonewall at all costs because they…

Thank you for your participation and helping to re-codify this law.

Thank you, Ms. Allen. And thank you for your efforts.

To give you an idea about how much the Congress has changed, when that 2006 law passed 330-somethning to 33, it was overwhelming republican majority.

The Trump Administration is in the Fifth Circuit right now arguing to take away your healthcare.

It hurts my heart that we are dealing with this, and 2020 is going to be the year of the hack, the year of oppression, and suppression.

Elections matter because maybe in this judiciary committee we will be able to have a hearing on H.R. 40 reparations.

Without a Section 5, minority voters are in jeopardy in Texas.
