We hope that the PRC understands that any such action would see a response from the international community, not just from the United States.

A CCP controlled Taiwan would be an unprecedented blow to our economic and national security.

Today, the Chinese Communist Party is trying to dominate the region and push the U.S. military out through military expansion and debt trap diplomacy.

And Putin and all members of his criminal regime that bear responsibility for his horrifying assault on an independent and peaceful nature and should suffer the consequences of their actions.

the Chinese Communist Party and the PRC has spent years promoting the lie that Taiwan is part of the PRC which it is absolutely not part of China nor has it ever been.

All I can say is having authored this language, I don't know what the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Harris) is referring to. When we talk about illiberal forces within the NATO alliance, it is all-inclusive. The New York Times did an…

But the CCP is undermining this hard-won freedom and prosperity.

I have been championing trying to replace the vehicle fleet.

I am very worried about the assumptions that went in or didn't go in to the environmental report that the Postal Service came up with, gasoline being one of them.

We can and must do better to enhance program integrity in the Federal Government and ensuring Federal assistance goes to everyone Congress intended to receive it and nobody we didn't.

Clearly, things have to change.
