The reality of an already weakened supply-chain is that the situation could get much worse if the Federal Government doesn't act immediately.

All I know that they`re for is relitigating the 2020 election and getting back at Jamie Raskin. I can`t figure out one other thing that the Republican Party stands for.

I hope he stays with it. I hope he stays engaged and in charge like he was today. And I think it`s -- like I say, he planted an oak tree.

I`m not in favor of throwing in the towel on it. We got some -- we got a favorable map. It is not so favorable in 2024. And you can get a lot done. I`m not -- I`m not willing to give up on the election.

You gloat and you promote. You run on what you got. You don’t run on what you didn’t get. Don’t talk about what you didn’t get. That’s what these -- Democrats whine too much, Chuck.

Madam Speaker, 20 States, including Louisiana, still have the same hourly pay floor as the Federal minimum wage: $7.25. Louisiana also has the second highest poverty rate of any State. That is because minimum wage is a poverty wage--a…

Madam Speaker, on the school bill, I know one of the big concerns many people have been raising is trying to get schools open again. Last week it was reported that 5,200 different schools were closed last week. And I know this Congress has…

And I would hope the government would drop that mandate, but if not, it is hopeful that the Court would make it clear that the government doesn't have the authority to require that people get fired if they don't get vaccinated, encourage…

Madam Speaker, I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for next week. Madam Speaker, I yield to my friend, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the majority leader of the House.

Madam Speaker, our teachers have been true heroes through this, our frontline hospital workers, people that work at grocery stores; we have seen so many people rising up to the challenge, and even where governments failed their ability to…

What the effects of spending trillions of dollars would have. And Build Back Better, as the gentleman brought up, would be about $4.5 trillion of higher taxes, additional spending, things that, by many accounts, would increase inflation…

The problem with President Biden's plan is that it has been reactionary and not visionary. When he was presented with a plan in October to make sure that every American that needed a test would have it in December, when they in October…

Madam Speaker, under President Trump, when he created Operation Warp Speed, the one thing he did say is that we are going to move red tape so we can focus the entire scientific community, both the Federal agencies but also the private…

Clearly, we have some disagreements, but as we both have advocated for the vaccine, I do think one of the differences that we may have is that I strongly feel that it is a personal decision. It is a medical decision. And if government…

To be clear, I never said it was for health reasons. I said it was a health decision. So this is a medical decision that people are making. Again, in the past we have seen this suggested by some in the medical community inaccurately that…

Madam Speaker, I appreciate that. Maybe we can work on something that would ensure that as tax dollars are going to school systems that it is going to keep the schools open, not to allow them to then shut down on the kids because, as we…

Clearly, some of those bills that have been discussed and offered up in the past to address the inflationary problems but also the policies of this administration that have caused that. And as we know from the energy crisis, it is not…

Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 5746, which contains the text of H.R. 4, the so-called John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. With H.R. 4, Democrats are attempting to…
