I'm pleased that the budget devotes increases to the Cancer Moonshot and significant resources to the Advanced Research Project Agency for Health or ARPA-H to focus on finding cures and treatments for cancer.
Recent estimates show more than 106,000 Americans, and more than 1,500 West Virginians, died from drug-related overdoses in the last year.
If we learned anything during these energy price spikes last year, it's that Americans cannot afford for their government to blindly prioritize climate goals over the reliable and affordable energy they need to go about their daily lives.
I'm disappointed in some of the overall funding levels in the NIH proposed budget.
In my view, Interior's failures to comply with laws Congress has passed is not a question of funding, it is a question of misplaced priorities.
That's simply unconscionable to me, especially as the Administration is hypocritically happy to target producers for not producing more while pursuing a regulatory environment and efforts designed to kill the industry by a thousand cuts.
I have been very vocal about how concerned I am that we are still waiting for the next five-year offshore program of oil and gas lease sales.

Please don't put this drug on the market. They overrule and you all put it on the market.
Are you willing to commit to help us with LNG facilities from Alaska and other places?
You would agree that our environmental standards are the best and that this is an important way to help our allies with these LNG exports?
Please don't put this drug on the market. They overrule and you all put it on the market.
The FDA is holding an advisory committee meeting on opiates today in particular on the questionable clinical trial practice known as enriched enrollment.
If the pharmaceutical--I mean, you talk about the fox in the henhouse, that's our problem.
I truly believe that the President should be sitting down with Republicans and Democrats, working through a credit deal so we don't hit the debt ceiling.
If the pharmaceutical--I mean, you talk about the fox in the henhouse, that's our problem.
We discussed America's efforts to ensure the Ukrainian people can beat back President Putin's illegal and immoral invasion.
I think a free trade agreement is in order, but also, helping them sustain themselves.
We need help on that. I was alarmed to see that the meeting that was going on today and how it was put together.
