I have been looking at trying to create the equivalent of an R&D tax credit for employers that actually up-skill their workforce.

No one in America should be working full-time and not be able to feed their family or put a roof over their head.

My fear is we have got an unlevel playing field from a tax accounting and reporting system in terms of investment in human capital versus investment in tangible goods.

I do think we need a Federal minimum wage. It is not a top-end wage.

I introduced bipartisan legislation, the PREVENT DIABETES Act, with Senator Tim Scott.

If confirmed as Secretary, I commit to working with you on this and other models to reduce health disparities.

I hope we also have your commitment to focus on identifying the perpetrator of these heinous attacks.

I commit not only to trying to get to the bottom of who's responsible, but also to ensure that my future colleagues get the care that they and their families deserve.

This program, which will put $9 billion of tier one capital into these institutions, can be leveraged for up to $90 billion of additional lending.

I think the time has come to go in that direction. I think Senator Collins was either ahead of her time or the rest of us were behind our time.

I think the sooner we make even more fulsome attribution, the better because we need to call out our adversary.

Senator Collins was way ahead of all of us on this issue, literally years and years ago, when she and Senator Lieberman first put forward legislation that required this critical, mandatory reporting on critical infrastructure.

I tend to agree I think we do need to make a sizable investment right now.

I would argue over the last 11 months we have seen that broadband is a necessity.

It is not going to disappear with Donald Trump.

The images of those marauders across the whole world is going to be a price that we will be paying for many years to come.

We cannot always be saying we are going to do better next time when this threat has been around for years.

I appreciate Ms. Sanborn's appropriate response that you cannot arbitrarily collect off of American citizens if there is not some nexus.

I have to tell you, respectfully, I am pretty disappointed at both of your answers.

Domestic violent extremists did not start with January 6th. They did not start with Donald Trump.

I hope on a going-forward basis we are going to be able to be more coordinated in terms of taking on antigovernment extremism, whether it comes from the left or the right.

I fear at times that while the FBI and others have pointed this out, that it did not get the level of serious review that it should have with the prior administration.

I actually have concerns whether the deployment of the Guard was affirmatively slowed down.

I would like to see that move forward, but even short of that, trying to ensure that the Mayor has appropriate powers going forward.

I think this is an ongoing threat to national security.
