I would like to ask about this parliamentary inquiry. I yield myself such time if I can that there was a ruling on. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman have a parliamentary inquiry?

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.

As I mentioned, I am very much opposed to this resolution, and a big part of it is because I think it will cost the American taxpayers and the Federal Government more money. The CBO has a preliminary cost estimate for this resolution, and…

Again, I am a little confused. If the gentleman--if Mr. Griffith's comment was about the fact that we cannot bring up Elon Musk, who is essentially in charge of so many government programs, including everything at the EPA--again, I was in…

I thank our chairman for his work on this bill. Mr. Speaker, the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, was an essential milestone in the progress of all humanity toward a more fair, just, and democratic society. It is…

Well, the problem that I have, Mr. Speaker, unless I misunderstood--yes, it would be a parliamentary inquiry. Unless I misunderstood, Mr. Griffith was criticizing Mr. Tonko because he mentioned Elon Musk in the context of this debate. I…

Mr. President, we are dealing with a crisis that all hundred Members of this body understand has taken the lives of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people, and that is the scourge of fentanyl. One of the things we have been doing as…

In reserving the right to object, this is why I am down here today--really, literally, at this point--and I want to jump here. I thank the Presiding Officer for recognizing me. I truly appreciate that, but this gets me excited because this…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the privileges of the floor be granted to the following members of my staff: Durva Trivedi, during the pendency of her legal fellowship, until September 12, 2025; and Zachary Rosenfeld and…

Mr. President, I just want to clarify because my colleague pounded on the desk, and that was hard for me to watch. I am not here because we haven't been trying to get a bipartisan consensus on this and calling and doing all the work. I…

I am standing in opposition. During their campaigns, Donald Trump and my Republican colleagues promised to get to work to lowering prices for the American people. This budget is a betrayal of that promise. It is a betrayal of millions of…

Today is February 6. It is my 80th birthday, and I should be celebrating, but you know what? I am mourning. You know why? Because Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire donor, has mounted a hostile takeover of the Federal Government. It is an…

I thank my incredible colleague Glenn Ivey for convening us here today and for the opportunity to speak. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in solidarity with our Nation's Federal workers, including the more than 22,000 who live and work in the…

I am grateful not only that you recognized me, but with the respect which you said the State of New Jersey. I know that you love my State. Many of my State residents are moving to Florida, so you are a very Jerseyified State yourself, so…

As co-chair of the Labor Caucus, I am here today to speak on something I didn't think we would ever have to. We have to talk about the hard work of our Federal workforce, those workers who get up every day to go to work, the ones who keep…
