“It's well past time for the FDA to push back against the false claims of mifepristone's alleged safety. … We've got to make sure that she is committed to ending the abortion drugs' availability in the state of Missouri. … I want to get to the bottom of this. I want to be sure that the FDA is not changing its position. I think this could be news to the court.
“My own view is that the focus right now needs to be on attacking the cost of living issues. [Hawley opposed the resolution, arguing the president is acting within his constitutional authority.]
“To me, the White House should probably be able to determine who, what cameras are in the White House.
“If you haven't heard of Flock, Flock has probably heard of you. … We need the Bill of Rights now more than ever.
“I do think we need to be really worried about superintelligence. [Hawley would not commit to a ban, pointing instead to making tech companies liable for what their AI agents do.]
“The American people deserve to know the details of what went on in the Hugging Face incident and other incidents of AI models going rogue. This investigation will seek those answers.
“As Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Disaster Management, I am investigating your AI agents' hack of Hugging Face in July 2026 in light of new, disturbing evidence regarding the incident. My investigation will probe this AI hacking incident, along with growing allegations of the existential risk of new AI products.
“I want law enforcement to have tools to catch offenders and keep the public safe. But Americans do not surrender their privacy rights when they drive to work, drop their kids off at school, or go to church.
“Well, nothing says honesty like taking the 5th, huh, doc? Yeah, well, silence is admission.
“I do think the oversight's important. Of course, you want to track how every taxpayer dollar is spent. This ought to be for working people whose constitutional rights were violated in their ordinary course of living — pro-life activists and others who might have a claim. The Justice Department should lean into its experience managing other compensation funds, like the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, which has a rigorous claims process.
“This is welcome news. Dr. Makary was uniquely destructive to the prolife movement. He attempted to place pro-abortion lawyers in key positions. He slow walked a vitally necessary review of the abortion drug mifepristone. He used his discretion to approve a new abortion drug when the data shows it sends 1 in 10 women to the emergency room. He froze out prolife leaders and repeatedly stonewalled Congress. His resignation is an opportunity for the FDA to reset.
“There's the 60-day shot clock, so to speak, that we're currently in the midst of.
“Now is the time to prevent any future cuts to Medicaid from going into effect. We should also increase our support for rural hospitals around the country... I want to see Medicaid reductions stopped and rural hospitals fully funded permanently.
