President Trump hit a home run in the State of the Union Address last night. As he said, the way to renew the American spirit is to put Americans first--their jobs, their safety, their education, and their health. He also focused on border…

A recent poll shows that the American people agree with all of President Trump's major executive orders, though they are not likely to learn about it from the liberal media. Fifty-five percent approve of revoking Federal funding for…

I look forward to helping you restrain the EPA's out-of-control regulatory agenda.

It is no surprise that the media's credibility has hit a record low with the American people, according to a recent Gallup Poll. The media attacked President Trump because he proved their predictions wrong and their candidate lost. They…

Despite the saturation of negative media coverage of President Trump, the people have spoken. A recent poll found that President Trump is thought more trustworthy than the news media. The administration is considered truthful by 49 percent…

Now is the time to reaffirm our support for the bold visions and commitments that will shape America's future in space.

I've always felt we ought to have a pin that says one percent for NASA, which would be doubling our current budget.

The liberal national media have two choices. First, they can continue their dislike--some would call it hatred--of President Trump that results in severely slanted coverage. This is the road to self-destruction. The media's credibility has…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I also want to thank Chairman LaHood for holding this joint hearing today.

Here is President Trump's report card after less than a month in office: The President wants to stop terrorist attacks by conducting background checks on refugees from countries that are considered security threats. The President wants to…

A whistleblower has charged that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration falsified data in a study that attempted to disprove the widely accepted 15-year halt in global warming. This was done in an effort to garner public…

For days the media has saturated the news with stories savaging President Trump for his immigration executive orders. The President wants to protect Americans by temporarily halting the admission of refugees from seven countries considered…

Anyone who wants to protect Americans from terrorist attacks should support President Trump's immigration executive orders. Put aside the hysteria of his political opponents. Here are the facts: There will be a temporary halt in the…

NASA has given us a good reason to limit the amount of funds the agency gets for climate change. They recently claimed that a landslide in Alaska, fires in Yellowstone National Park in 1988, and a drought in California were all due to…

I thank Mr. Perlmutter for his comments and again thank him for his work on this legislation. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Knight), who is the vice chairman of the Energy Subcommittee of the Science, Space, and…

Just think what the media would be saying about President Trump if he were a Democrat: He has tremendous energy. He campaigned for 18 months, puts in 15-hour days, and has the stamina of a bull elephant like Teddy Roosevelt. He is…

Whenever you see climate change in the news, remember the difference between actual data and exaggerated predictions. For example, much coverage was given yesterday to the predictions by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that polar bears…

Science, technology, engineering and math are critical to America's future prosperity. Women are unfortunately underrepresented in STEM careers. Despite representing nearly half of the college-educated and total U.S. workforce, women…

I support H.R. 255, the Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act. I thank my Science Committee colleagues Ms. Esty, who authored the bill, and Research and Technology Subcommittee Chairwoman Comstock for their initiative on this issue. H.R…

I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

The NASA Authorization Act of 2018 is a crucial step in continuing the greatness of American space exploration.

This legislation continues our commitment to American leadership.

Mr. Perlmutter began moving the ball forward on space weather legislation in a constructive, bipartisan manner.

Developing an exascale system is critical to enabling scientific discovery, strengthening national security and promoting U.S. industrial competitiveness.

I do support an increase in funding and will look for ways to try to achieve that.
