Mr. Speaker, I stand here not as a Member of the Congress, but as a doctor. And as a doctor, health care is about taking care of patients. That is why the bill that might come before us is a bad bill. It raises the cost of care for many…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his leadership and for yielding me the time. When the President campaigned, he said he wanted more benefits, more coverage, and lower premiums. Since he got to the White House, he said, well, health…

Mr. Speaker, I never thought in coming to Congress that I would be voting on legislation that would take away health insurance from 24 million Americans, including my own constituents. The Speaker said that this legislation is an act of…

There must have been a very strong push back, you know, from the White House about the nature of Monday's hearing.

To take evidence that may or may not be related to the investigation through the White House was wholly inappropriate and of course cast grave doubts into the ability to run an incredible investigation.

One of the profound takeaways of the last couple of days is we really do need an independent commission here because the public at the end of the day needs to have confidence that someone has done a thorough investigation, untainted by…

Paints a more complete picture of what they know now and maybe it's not enough for probable cause to actually bring to trial. But enough for a grand jury investigation to look at this issue of coordination, look at this issue of collusion…

Mr. Speaker, today, I celebrate the birth of my twin daughters, Sky and Sage as they turn 2 years old. Happy birthday, Sky; happy birthday, Sage. You both have made your mom, Monica, and me very, very happy. Because of you both, I am the…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition of the effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Simply, my constituents will be stuck paying more. And if they are not losing their coverage, they will know somebody who is going to lose their…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the American Health Care Act and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act 7 years ago, in my district, the uninsured rate has dropped from 19 percent to…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Gallagher for his bipartisan leadership on the term limits initiative, and my friend General Bergman for his leadership on this issue. I don't think term limits are a partisan issue. The Economist had an…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of H.R. 1302, the Terrorist and Foreign Fighter Travel Exercise Act of 2017. Every day, communities across this country are confronted by evolving threats. Since the…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of H.R. 1365, the Department of Homeland Security Acquisition Innovation Act. When the Department of Homeland Security was established in 2002, it was understood…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, Securing Our Agriculture and Food Act passed the House in September of 2016, and the Senate companion bill was reported out of committee last week. Passage of this…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of H.R. 1238, the Securing our Agriculture and Food Act. Mr. Speaker, U.S. agriculture and agriculture-related business represents about 6 percent of our gross…

Mr. Speaker, I understand that major laws often have winners and losers. Unfortunately, I am struggling to figure out who wins under this healthcare plan. We have seen who stands to lose: 24 million fewer people will have insurance; States…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Washington. Mr. Speaker, after 7 years of demanding repeal and replace, the very best that the GOP could do was to put forward a bill to eliminate health care for 24 million Americans. Under…

The foreign policy establishment has spoken. Everything that Putin does is wrong.
