Today, a duly elected President is being impeached by the House of Representatives, by the Democrats compelled by partisanship and not by the facts. I am proud to stand here with President Donald Trump, and I plan to cast my vote against…

It is with a heavy heart and a profound sense of the gravity of this moment that I rise today in support of the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. To be clear, I did not run for Congress to impeach a President. I come to work every…

I thank the ranking member, and I also rise today in support of H.R. 1158, as the majority leader did, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020. While this bill is not perfect, as it was also mentioned--and, quite honestly, I have…

In closing, we must take action to fix the tax deductibility of these donations to the Virginia Beach Tragedy Fund, which has done so much to help the community recover from this unspeakable tragedy. Mr. Speaker, I wish to express my…

I oppose the amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Alabama is recognized for 5 minutes.

I also want to thank the many stakeholder groups that have worked so hard on this bill: the Leadership Council, the Legal Defense Fund, the NAACP, the Lawyers' Committee, the AFL-CIO, MALDEF, and so many more. As we prepare to take this…

I oppose this amendment because it is a mere distraction. It is an attempt to politicize the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by interjecting campaign finance and settlement terms into civil rights legislation. If Republicans were really serious…

I move to table the Paul amendment, but I just want to say a few words. This continuing resolution before the Senate holds spending at the fiscal 2019 levels. An arbitrary 1-percent across-the-board cut on top of this--although it sounds…

I return the gentleman's respect, and I know that he has worked long and hard on this. I agree with him that this is a real problem that is getting worse, but we are not going to make it better if we pass something in this House that will…
