There is a clear and overwhelming need to control the size of the Federal estate.

My colleagues on the far right are on a mission to attack, discredit and ultimately dismantle the FBI.

The individuals that we saw today have not alleged any misconduct by the FBI.

The law has not determined that they are whistleblowers, his attorneys is just asserting that.

This is a really concerted effort to undermine Americans' confidence in the rule of law, in the Department of Justice, in the FBI.

Everyone here should be alarmed when that amplification pushes out false and dangerous narratives: False narratives such as January 6th being a deep State effort.

The debt ceiling is looming over the American economy, and Speaker McCarthy and the Republican Conference are holding the debt hostage right now.
