Craig huey is the author. Mr. Huey, how do you define the deep state . Guest the deep state is not just what most people consider to be the government and government bureaucrats. Its far greater than that. The deep state, many people say there is no deep state.

Syed and his nomination to be deputy administrator of the Small Business administration. Madam president , this republican obstruction has gone on long enough. I ask my colleagues from across the aisle to join me in supporting this important nominee. Dilawar syed is more than qualified to serve in this role at the Small Business administration.
