“What documents remain, why they haven't been turned over... We're going to try to determine whether or not there can be more documents legally turned over. I want every document, I don't want anything held back.

“My constituents are hurting. Gas is almost $5 a gallon, diesel is almost $6 a gallon, and the farmers here in Kentucky can't afford the fertilizer to put on their fields. So, heck yes, I would support it! We don't know what the terms of it are, but if Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz were crashing out last night, I'd say it's probably a pretty good deal.
“[Massie said he would be in favor of a short-term deal with Iran that would allow for more negotiations on the nuclear issue.]
“So, the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick.
“Welcome to the most expensive congressional primary ever in the 250-year history of this country. It's not just the most expensive. This thing went on longer than Vietnam.
“I've never heard of someone negotiating with themselves and making a plea bargain with themselves.
“We stirred up something. There is a yearning in this country for someone who will vote for principles over party.
“If the legislative branch always votes with the president, we do have a king.
“This committee will not let Senate Democrats block paychecks for our border patrol and other law enforcement. We will not let them shut down inspections for fentanyl, weapons or nuclear material. And we will not stand idly by while they defund the interdiction of child sex trafficking across the border.
“I'm not for adding more debt, I think adding more [debt] makes us less safe. I think the war should come to a conclusion as soon as possible.
“He wasn't 100% truthful with whether or not he had been on the island. If we find that there were any misstatements by Mr. Lutnick, it's a felony to lie to Congress.
“Right off the bat he corrected his statement on the time that he came to the island. I feel like Lutnick has been very transparent. He came in voluntarily.
“The War Powers Act means something. The president cannot simply declare the war over by pointing to a fragile ceasefire while continuing to project military force in the region. Congress must vote.
“I've been consistent: presidents of both parties need congressional authorization before taking the country into military or paramilitary confrontation. The Cuba blockade is no exception.
“Many of the documents DOJ allows Members of Congress to view remain redacted because they were received with redactions imposed by the FBI and US Attorneys, and Blanche has, as far as we can tell, neither requested nor obtained the original versions as required by EFTA.
“We already know the Department of Justice failed to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act under former Attorney General Bondi and they continue to withhold required documents under Acting Attorney General Blanche.
“Congress ought to fund border security but we should be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars and fully pay for the $70 billion to secure our borders.
“I will be voting NO on final passage of the FISA 702 Reauthorization Bill if it does not include a warrant provision and other reforms to protect US citizens' right to privacy.
“We'll talk about it.
“I don't think we should be looking at the White House piecemeal. Today is the ballroom. Tomorrow, it could be some modifications to — I guess, it's the colonnade between the main building and the West Wing. The day after that, it could be some addition to the West Wing.
“I support Trump firing Pam Bondi. Do you? I hope the next AG will release all the Epstein files according to the law and follow up with investigations, prosecutions, and arrests.
“The Oversight Committee is investigating the possible mismanagement of the federal government's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The American people deserve answers about how the Department of Justice handled these files. The subpoena was issued to compel that testimony, and we will work with the Department of Justice to ensure it is honored.
“The congressional leadership, resigned to their own irrelevance, will gladly hand the president the power to initiate war in exchange for plausible deniability. Our Founding Fathers thought that war happened too often, war should be the last resort, and that is why we should have Congress vote on it first. It's very difficult after it starts to have a debate over this — once the soldiers are in the field, it's very hard.
“The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war.
“There is this sticking point of the Constitution that we won't let presidents bomb countries just when they feel like it. They're supposed to ask the people, through the Congress, for permission.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran made 'death to America; death to Israel' a central pillar of its brutal rule. For decades, it wielded violence and repression at home and exported violence and terrorism abroad. A regime that relishes killing Arabs, Israelis, Americans, and its own people deserves no sympathy.
“I think shooting unarmed people floundering in the water, clinging to wreckage, is not who we are as a people.
“What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial. Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation?
