I am so grateful for the question because that is what we said we are here about. We are here to try to elevate the voices of people affected by what they are doing to our government. And, frankly, as they cut the Department of Education…

Oh, man. I have known you for like 25 years. I wanted to talk about you, but you are being so insistent, I will reward your insistence and say I yield for a question while retaining the floor.

More than 700,000 New Jerseyans sent me here to be their voice in Congress and to address the challenges they face each and every day. Many of those constituents have sent me messages advocating for what is most important to them…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of Rule XX, this 15- minute vote on passage will be followed by a 5-minute vote on…

Mr. President, this is an overdraft speech. It is about a commonsense rule that lowers costs for millions and millions of Americans, while carefully targeting, really, the most egregious abusive overdraft practices in the financial…

I missed the following votes, but had I been present, I would have voted: YEA on Roll Call No. 74, NAY on Roll Call No. 75, and NO on Roll Call No. 76. ____________________

May I inquire as to how much time remains on each side. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New Jersey has 12\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Virginia has 19\1/2\ minutes remaining.
