The PATRIOT Act was passed in response to 9/11 to combat international terrorism. This administration is now employing it to target concerned parents.

When did it become the role of the government to decide what children should be taught without informing their parents?

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the following letter from the Government Accountability Office be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: Decision…

I am afraid that the budget you are advocating for today picks winners and losers.

My home State of Louisiana is responsible for over 60 percent of LNG produced and exported from the United States.

We must increase the domestic production of energy.

What is the Department of Energy doing to facilitate the export of American LNG to our allies?

There is a crisis with American energy independence, and our country must cut back on its reliance on foreign oil.

the laws of this land should be made by Congress, not by any Federal agency.

It is really important that any member of a community is able to stand up before a school board and voice their opinion.

There is absolutely no evidence to support the MAGA conspiracy theories about far ranging Federal government effort to chill parents' speech.

There are private conversations happening between teachers and counselors and children behind the backs of parents without their consent or knowledge.

I also want to thank the Ranking Member Ms. Scanlon and congratulate her formally for her appointment to this position and for making history as the first woman in Congress to serve in this important post.

The chilling of parental rights is absolutely clear.

We are joyful warriors. We are going to fight like hell for the future of this country with a smile on our face because our children are watching.

The DOJ betrayed the trust of the American people. There must be accountability.

the evidence shows clearly that this is exactly what is happening.

The vilification of concerned parents by this administration is a gross assault by the Federal government.
