I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for the motion to recommit.

I thank Representative Manning for yielding me time and for her leadership. I thank Representative Frankel for her phenomenal leadership on this issue and so many other issues. I rise today to urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle…

On October 7, 2023, Hamas infiltrated Israel and brutally attacked and murdered thousands of men, women, children, and babies, taking 240 hostages, including those that were so unbelievably innocent. Women were beaten. Women were raped…

Let me remind everyone how we got here. State and local taxes were always deductible--State and local taxes-- since the Civil War, before we even had a tax code, until the House Republicans and Mr. Trump stole the deduction in the 2017…

That fact should surprise no one, since it was Republicans that stole away that middle-class tax help in the first place. This is a very critical issue, Mr. Speaker. I hope we address it sooner rather than later. The SPEAKER pro tempore…

We know that on TikTok, which is supported by the Chinese Government, the CCP is continuing to spread disinformation. Disinformation is also coming out from many of these organizations. We must stand up against it. This legislation does…

I would like to express my strong support for the Uyghur Policy Act, of which I am a proud cosponsor. But more than expressing strong support for this necessary piece of legislation, all of us must continue to show strong support for the…

I want to thank my good friend Mr. Lawler for authoring the IGO Anti-Boycott Act, which amends the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 to apply its provisions also to international governmental organizations. When this bill becomes law, it will…

I speak in strong support of H.R. 533, which would amend the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002. This bill was introduced by Congressman Jim McGovern, House ranking member on the Congressional Executive Commission on China, which I chair, along…

I thank Representative Manning for her leadership on this and so many important issues for our country. Madam Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in passing the IGO Anti-Boycott Act. I am…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 5856, as amended, will be followed by…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey is recognized for 5 minutes.

Republicans are pointing to the Congressional Budget Office's score of their bill as proof that healthcare programs are already using the QALY to discriminate against people, but that is simply not what the CBO score says. It is ironic…

I appreciate and respect the views of the disability community and their strongly held belief that the use of QALYs in Federal health programs is discriminatory. That is why I do not oppose this amendment. However, the amendment does not…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 211, noes 208, not voting 11, as follows: [Roll No. 40] AYES--211…

Republicans don't want Americans to know the baseless and completely unprecedented nature of this impeachment, and that is that antimigrant hate groups form the foundation of the case that we are listening to today. I stand with my…

The enhanced Child Tax Credit enacted by Democrats in 2021 slashed childhood poverty in half. I repeat: in half. It is not hyperbole to call it one of the most successful policies ever passed by this Congress. And it is a tragedy its…

I think it merits a lot of consideration.
