The ratio of Federal workers to American citizens right now is the lowest it's been since 1960.

I think that is really important because some would have us believe that this is no different than previous policy, and your own report finds quite the opposite. It was a drastic change in previous policy and deliberate.

I want to reserve my outrage for the fact that the United States of America found itself putting children in cages and deliberately using children as pawns to separate them from their families for an ideological commitment to a rigid…

I thank my dear friend for yielding to me and for his leadership. Mr. Speaker, when I served in local government, I helped write and pass 14 consecutive budgets--all balanced. And what the budget writing process taught me was that a budget…

I thank my friend for yielding. The American people are asking: Is there any depravity too low? Is there any outrage too far? Is there any blood and violence too much to turn hearts and minds in this body instead of the usual…

I thank the distinguished chairwoman of our committee for her graciousness in not only bringing this bill back to the floor, but making it the first legislative bill we are going to consider in the new Congress. I thank my good friend from…

Thank you for holding this hearing.

President Trump actually instructed leaders of Federal agencies not to recognize the Biden victory and to block cooperation with President-elect Biden's transition team.

I may ask you to take over the chair while I vote, if you can do that.

I will end by echoing Ranking Member Hice's concerns, concerns shared by my constituents that widespread voting irregularities and even reports of outright fraud may have disenfranchised their votes.

I sent a letter to the White House last month demanding the administration comply with their responsibilities under the Presidential Records Act.

Throughout his administration, President Trump has chosen to put his personal interests before the needs of the country.

That is why today I plan to introduce the Midnight Regulations Review Act with Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, Chairman Raja Krishnamoorthi, and Representative Jackie Speier.

I just think it is scandalous that this administration has abandoned refugees.

I wish we had equal fervor in protecting the President and the country from misrepresentations about a duly elected President-Elect and the process where a record number of Americans participated in a free and fair election that resulted…

Putting aside whether they can afford it or want to continue with it, that in many ways it is a double-edged sword for them.

One is you can add--in terms of Russia's diminishment as a power, you should also add the demographic imperative.

We have got to have the reapportionment data to be able to reapportion in time for our elections next November.

That's not just the chairman's opinion; that is a series of analyses based on documents not denied by the White House.

When a Member of Congress calls a Federal agency that falls under our purview, I expect an answer--not through a third party.
