U.S. House of Representatives

I think it's critical we protect the sanctity of every American's right to vote.

They get up here and they start voting against the wishes of the American people over and over and over again.

And then we get to today where we say, shouldn't we make sure our men and women in uniform have the tools they need to do their job safely?

Maybe they voted against that bill because they want to defund the police, not help police officers and firefighters have a little bit more money in their pocket with no tax on overtime, no tax on tips.

Over and over again, we see nothing but obstruction from Democrats. It's sad to say. It's sad to see.

It also prioritizes investment in the forces and capabilities needed to strengthen deterrence and improve military readiness to maintain a strong U.S. posture.

The legislation enhances the quality of life for servicemembers by increasing their pay by 5 to 7 percent, as well as improving housing, education, and access to childcare for military families.

The NDAA for Fiscal Year 2027 will help rebuild the arsenal of freedom, restore peace through strength, and support our brave servicemembers.

The United States faces a growing threat of national security challenges every day, and our military must have the resources, training, and capabilities necessary to keep us all safe.

I urge the Senate to quickly pass the budget resolution so we can begin the process of securing our elections, supporting our troops, and providing certainty for our food supply.

The SAVE and Protect America Act will help restore American greatness by protecting and strengthening our homeland and bolstering our election integrity.

Today, House Republicans took the first step in the budget reconciliation process to address urgent national priorities that the American people have been asking for.

But I really say that as we did under Ronald Reagan – I was here all eight years he was president – and George Bush, we rarely shut down the government. Under Joe Biden with a Republican Congress, we didn't shut down the government at all…

I believe these proposals do exactly the opposite of what we need to do in the sense that I think they weaken greatly the Congress and strengthen – even more than has happened today – the presidency, making the executive extraordinarily…

The Trump Administration should be ashamed of itself for proposing this pay disparity, and I urge the Senate to address it and insist on parity.

That disparity is wrong, and it’s why I did not support this bill, which balloons the defense budget by over 28% and will cost more than a trillion dollars but cannot find enough funds to ensure parity in raises between civilian and…

Hardworking civilian federal employees at the Defense Department are no less deserving of an annual raise than their compatriots in uniform.

Chaco is central to New Mexico’s identity — a living cultural landscape, a sacred place and an irreplaceable unit of our national public lands. The Administration’s attempt to revoke the protections of this landscape, built through years…

Chaco Canyon is not for sale! As one the most sacred places on the planet — the Greater Chaco Landscape has been a sacred landscape for Pueblo and Diné people since time immemorial.

There is not a single molecule of gas worth sacrificing a landscape that holds more than 4,700 archaeological sites, the prayers and history of generations, and the living culture of Chaco Canyon.

Chaco Canyon is more than a place on a map — it is thousands of years of culture, history, and the enduring spirit of the Pueblo peoples. Protecting Chaco is our sacred responsibility. Once Chaco is damaged, it cannot be undone. That’s why…

Chaco Canyon is not for sale. New Mexico has an important role to play producing energy for the nation. We're the second largest producer of oil in the country, we produce far more electrons than we consume, and we have never had to…

I want to ask you, what are you going to do this time around to ensure that the proposed relief dollars that we're talking about today, that those funds go to American producers — instead of to the very foreign corporations who have…

I want to see the Strait open again. And I want to see it open where shippers can transit that Strait without being extorted by Iran.
