If my colleagues across the aisle were concerned about police reform, I don't think that their colleagues in the Senate would have described Senator Tim Scott's bill as a token bill.

This hearing is about politics and I apologize to you and the rest of the officers in the United States Park Police for having to endure a political attack.

A very thoughtful, bipartisan bill was put out on police reform by Senator Scott and it was essentially laughed at.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole), my friend. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this legislation. Over the last 3 months, we have put together a series of bipartisan bills that are extraordinary, and they…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this rule change. Rather than taking time to implement a bipartisan plan to safely open this House and our work on the Hill, as suggested by the Republican leader, the House majority is taking the lazy…

Mr. Speaker, why is it not too big of a health concern to call us back from all across the country to vote on a useless messaging bill that will wither on the vine outside this Chamber, but it is too much to ask us to come back and hold…

Mr. Speaker, born from the people, the work of Congress is an integral part of our Nation. Or is it? Judging from the legislation that is before us right now, I am not so sure. But tracing back to the Civil War, the Great Depression, World…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, let me say before I get to the contents of my remarks, not lost on me is the work that Mr. Cole is doing today as a Rules Committee member and managing the debate that we just…

Madam President, I rise today to recognize the National Police Week in honor of the men and women who serve and protect our communities. The individuals called to uphold the rule of law do so in times of crisis, and they serve their…

Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding. I rise in support of the Paycheck Protection Program Increase Act. In Arkansas, there are more than 13,000 pending PPP loan applications, representing over $1.1 billion, Madam Speaker, of…

We must ensure our efforts are targeted to help the needy, not prop up the opportunistic.

Our response, just as this situation, has been unprecedented.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 748, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. This bill will provide much-needed relief and help Arkansas' families…

Mr. Speaker, we have a responsibility to the people we serve, and the moment is now to mitigate the damage to our people and our economy. For those who question the price tag, for those who question certain features in the bill, think of…

Mr. Speaker, the health and economic crisis caused by COVID-19 is unprecedented in our lifetimes. We are seeing the number of cases rise throughout the country, including in my home state of Arkansas. After being in nearly constant…

Mr. President, the deadly coronavirus that emerged from China late last year has now spread across the globe. The Chinese Communist Party deceived the world, even their own people, and unleashed the worst pandemic in a century on us all…

Mr. President, I arrived in Washington in November of 2001, after winning a special election to serve the people of the Third District of Arkansas in the House of Representatives. This was shortly after 9/11. It was a very anxious time in…
