Yes, I think that`s right. And I think that where we started yesterday`s hearing -- thank you for having me, Joy -- was a continuation of the police officers, the D.C. Metro Police officers and Capitol Police officers, that we heard from…

I think it`s clear the connection to people around the former president to groups like this, just like you said. The Proud Boys using recruiting tools like 'Stand back and stand by' is code names, and to help boost membership.

We cannot just sweep this under the rug. We need to know why it happened, who did it and people need to be held accountable for it.

Madam Speaker, all government officials must be held accountable, especially those entrusted with the power to interpret our country's laws. Repeated scandals and lax ethics requirements for Federal judges are eroding Americans' confidence…

Madam Speaker, as someone who lost one of my own siblings to suicide by a gun, I personally am proud to stand in this Chamber today in her memory, Carmen, to see my bill come to a vote. This measure is popular, bipartisan, and common…

Madam Speaker, I thank Representative McBath for yielding time. Madam Speaker, 8 years ago, my own community of Isla Vista near UC Santa Barbara saw firsthand the horror and the trauma that a mass shooting brings. In 8 years since that…

Madam Speaker, I believe I am the only Member of this House that is a victim of gun violence. My body is riddled with bullets. I have a divot in my leg that is the size of a football. I have skin grafts on all parts of my body. I live with…

Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Protecting Our Kids Act. Over the last 20 years, we have lost thousands of lives--thousands of lives-- to mass shootings. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death of children in America…

Madam Speaker, gun violence, as we know, is plaguing our Nation. In 2022, this year, there have already been 200 mass shootings in the United States. Think about that. It is absolutely horrific. We ask ourselves, when is enough enough? Our…

Madam Speaker, I rise today also to celebrate Dia de Portugal, which is a significant holiday for Portuguese people all over the world. My grandparents came to the United States from the Azore Islands in the late 19th century and the turn…

Many of us say a prayer, the Lord's prayer. And at the end we say: And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding. Madam Speaker, where is the soul of America in this Chamber? I have listened to every speaker since the debate began. I think that Shakespeare would say: Thou dost protest too much. We have…

Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the rule, which would deem and pass a resolution condemning great replacement theory and white supremacy. The recent mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, that claimed the lives of 10 Americans was…

I believe we have an opportunity and an obligation to strengthen Social Security for the next century.

Social Security is one of the most effective programs in our nation's history, and we are at a critical crossroads to determine whether we will build upon its success.

However, I believe that this approach minimizes the specific threats posed by domestic violent extremism carried out by white supremacists.

Madam Speaker, we cannot let America be like this. Children shouldn't be texting their family good-bye as they lay barricaded behind desks. Parents shouldn't dread having to drop a child off at school, wondering if this is a death…

Trust me. I know, not as a son of refugees but as a son of immigrants, like so many others from around the world, over the course of generations that have come to the United States in pursuit of the American dream.
