Well, look, let's understand one thing. There's actually -- there's not a lot of questions about what Trump is trying to do. He's basically trying to give Ukraine to Putin, and he wants a better relationship with Russia, and he's willing…
C.Q. Brown is a true patriot. He is intelligent, accomplished, and well respected on both sides of the aisle.
President Trump’s latest Friday Night massacre has unleashed even more chaos with the firing of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Montana will be postponed. Amendment No. 53 Offered by Mr. Norman The Acting CHAIR. It is…
I actually don't have any more arguments on this point other than what I have said. Mr. Chair, I urge opposition, and I yield back the balance of my time.
I will be brief. I don't fundamentally disagree with the idea that we learned a lot about the relative effectiveness of masks. I am not a huge fan of them myself. The main reason they tend not to be effective is people don't wear them or…
