Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the Republican majority to act immediately on the administration's request for emergency funds to combat the Zika virus epidemic. It is shameful that we have waited 7 months to act while the threat from…

Mr. Speaker, I rise to ask, to beseech, really, that this House take immediate action to fully fund our country's response to the spreading horror of Zika. Mr. Speaker, there are now thousands of confirmed cases of Zika in the United…

Mr. President, I rise to talk about an epidemic that is affecting my State of Ohio and every State represented in this Chamber. Senator Whitehouse just spoke. He worked with me over a period of about 3 years to put together legislation to…

I thank the chairman of the committee and the ranking member for their support on this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I was in Georgia in 2008 when the Russians invaded that sovereign country and took one-fifth of their nation away from them. I…

Mr. Speaker, during the week of July Fourth celebrations of our Nation's independence, I was diagnosed with leukemia. After entering the best cancer center in the world, MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas, my hometown, in just 8 weeks…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak out against the paralysis in Congress over funding Zika virus eradication efforts. I have been warning my colleagues in Congress for months that the Zika virus would severely impact our Nation, and…

Mr. Speaker, as we observe Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and shed light on the types of cancer that afflict approximately 16,000 children every year, I would like to recognize the work of the Live Like Bella Childhood Cancer Foundation…

that turned out to be an utter falsehood, as less than a month later with zero consultation with the Congress, the administration announced what has proven to be a complete failure of a deal with the Castro regime.

Would you send them back? Would you put them back into harm's way, incarcerated in Iran?

Mr. President, on Christmas Eve 2009 on the floor of the Senate, I and the other 99 Members of the Senate voted on what is known as the Affordable Care Act, which later became known as ObamaCare. It has been 7 years since that debate, and…

Very clear question. Forget the hostages.

I don't trust them either. And actually, it sounds like my friends on the other side trust them more than I do.

There have been settlements that inured to the benefit of Americans totaling about $2.5 billion.

I think the judgment--the questioning of judgment on any settlement is a fair question.

I hope you understand this is a political game to try once again to, number one, trash the Obama Administration; number two, trash the Iran nuclear deal.

Today is about headlines, not headway.
