I actually agree with the spirit and the content of this amendment.

I will carry my firearm in D.C. and in Congress. This caused outrage from Democrats and the media, why? It’s our job in Congress to defend your rights, including your second amendment. And that’s exactly what I’m here to do.

I think, as you said, as a policy matter, Democrats believe in good government. We believe in ethics and government. And that means independent, nonpartisan redistricting, which is you know, Chris, is wildly popular on a bipartisan basis…

Politicians shouldn`t be in charge of drawing district lines. That job should ultimately be one handled by a nonpartisan commission like the one in Colorado.

I hope that the Congress will get the message in doing the same in Washington.

This has been happening for 20 years. We have been fighting this war for 20 years, day in, day out.

I think we can do this in a couple of weeks but we certainly have to be diligent about it and it’s not without risk.

While I would relish the opportunity to respond to the points made by my colleague, we have a lot of enthusiasm on our side to speak in support of this rule. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms…

I have a parliamentary inquiry. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Williams of Georgia). The gentleman will state his parliamentary inquiry.

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. Madam Speaker, we have weak leadership now and a crisis in Afghanistan. We have a crisis at our border because of weak leadership. We have an inflation crisis because of weak leadership. And we have a…

My colleague from California is certainly right about one thing, the Build Back Better plan would raise taxes on billionaires. The tax cuts that ultimately were approved by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle several years ago for…

My inquiry is, if it is appropriate to call the previous President a liar, is it appropriate that we can refer to the current President as a liar also? The SPEAKER pro tempore. As recorded in section 370 of the House Rules and Manual, the…
