I am appalled by what is coming before us on the floor today all wrapped up in one big, ugly rule. There are billions for ICE's warrantless searches on Americans and for funds that cut millions of Americans' children's access to food…

today, once again, our Republican colleagues are coming to the House floor to write another blank check to ICE on the backs of the American people. One year ago, Republicans in this Chamber claimed they were going to lower the debt and…

allowing our friends, family, and neighbors to go hungry in the United States of America is a policy decision, a choice--a choice--made by Donald Trump. At a time when food prices are at an alltime high, fuel prices are up because of…

We are here today because some people want to abuse the Congressional Review Act and use it in a way it has never been used before. The Boundary Waters is protected from copper sulfide mining because there was a secretarial order that was…

as a cosponsor of this War Powers Resolution, this debate is making me sick: the lies and colleagues who are so weak that they won't enforce the Constitution to rein in a President who is clearly out of control. As we sit here, thousands…

I don't even know if I can dignify a response to the things that I have heard here this morning. Perhaps we will do another showerhead resolution or utilities or something like that. But it is very clear that there is a war in the Middle…
