I'd like to hear about how you at FDA are pushing back against this administration's deregulatory approach.

I will be very focused on making sure we are committed to strong congressional oversight, rejecting this administration's efforts to roll back and undermine patient protections.

I rise today to talk about Dreamers in Virginia. Congress is engaged in a discussion about many topics in December, one of which is what to do about the DACA Program. A couple of months ago, President Trump said he was going to terminate…

I want to hear more about what NIH is doing to bolster your researchers' work to further science over extreme ideology.

I actually think that he is right that this refugee crisis, at any point in time with tens of millions of people as refugees or migrants, it does raise concerns about terrorists sneaking over borders.

I think we, frankly, have to view them as sort of normal and likely to be somewhat permanent, based on weather emergencies, violence, civil war, corruption.

The President's announcement today about Jerusalem, this body has long recognized the reality of Jerusalem as the center of government for Israel.

may I ask that amendment No. 1846 be called up? The PRESIDING OFFICER. It is already called up.
