I thank my friend from Louisiana for arranging the time to talk to the Nation today about these very important issues. Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk about the reckless spending plans put forward by Democrats, which I think, without a…

Madam President, I appreciate my colleague from Missouri and his remarks about how we need the other side to work with us. And that is so very true because this administration, the Biden administration, has refused to drag themselves away…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller), and thank him for his better-than-lackluster handling of this event tonight. It is much appreciated. Madam Speaker, for the past several weeks, I have been coming down here to make the…

I thank Vice Chairman Johnson for yielding to me and the adequate job that he is doing. Madam Speaker, I recently overheard some East Tennesseans talking at the gas pumps at the local Pilot station. And a fellow said, it is almost like…

Contrary to the remarks from my friend from South Carolina, leading economists in this country say that the Build Back Better bill will help on inflation. It will ease inflationary measures. It is important that we pass the Build Back…

Mr. President, last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued an emergency stay on President Biden's sweeping vaccine mandate. The court granted the stay, citing ``grave statutory and constitutional issues'' with the…

Mr. President, months ago, as Americans watched harrowing video footage of the Afghanistan evacuation efforts, service men and women from around the world rose to the challenge of a complex mission. As the chaos persisted, the 82nd…

Individual freedom just scored a huge victory. Last weekend, a court of appeals ruled what we already know. Joe Biden overstepped his authority with his vaccine mandate. No more jobs will be threatened by the administration over…

Madam President, as I have been saying, it has been so difficult to get people to realize what we are facing from the Chinese Communist Party. They are an adversary, and seeing the evidence of genocide in Xinjiang didn't seem to be enough…

Madam President, last week, the Senate passed the Sergeant First Class Sean Cooley and Specialist Christopher Horton Congressional Gold Star Family Fellowship Program Act. I would like to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Duckworth). Without objection, it is so ordered. Sergeant First Class Sean Cooley and Specialist Christopher Horton…

Today is a major day. Not as major as the day we had about 10 days ago when the House passed, with bipartisan support, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but we are going to have a bill signing in the White House in just a few minutes by…

The President is trying to help America, help the middle class, help the forgotten. The Build Back Better bill will give people childcare that they need and women to go to work. It will give a child tax credit and make it permanent…

So today I am offering a bill that would help with this situation. My No Forced Vaccination for COVID-19 Act would prevent the President of the United States or any executive branch agency from issuing a general vaccine mandate, including…

Mr. President, I have introduced 12 bills against President Biden's vaccine mandate. Most of these bills should have been supremely noncontroversial. Some of the bills would have made sure that the exemptions President Biden announced were…

Mr. President, this isn't about whether we are against the virus; we are. It is not about whether we are for the vaccine; we are. It is about the fact that only 14 percent of Americans believe that it is fair, just, and proper to fire…

Mr. President, the United States is facing economic challenges that we haven't experienced in this country for decades. The supply chain crunch is leading to backlogged ports, and that, in turn, is spilling over into empty shelves…

In closing, I would once again like to thank my good friends, Mr. Deutch, Mr. Sires, and Ms. Salazar for leading this measure. I am proud to join my colleagues in this effort, and I yield back the balance of my time.
