I announce that the Senator from Colorado (Mr. Bennet), the Senator from New Jersey (Mr. Booker), the Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Fetterman), and the Senator from Virginia (Mr. Warner) are necessarily absent.

Mr. President, pending before the U.S. Senate is the nomination of Darrel Papillion, to be U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana. I want to say a word about this nomination because it indicates a positive development in…

Mr. President, today, the Senate will vote to confirm Darrel James Papillion to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Born in Eunice, LA, Mr. Papillion received his B.A. from Louisiana State University and his J.D…

The first Jews arrived in New York in 1654. This month, we honor the innumerable contributions and storied history of Jewish Americans. I rise today in support of H. Res. 382, honoring Jewish American Heritage Month. I thank my…

As a co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, I am so proud to hold the floor today with the united House Democratic Caucus. Let's be crystal clear: The only reason we are here right now is because Republicans are…

We stand on the precipice of a self- inflicted crisis precipitated by Speaker McCarthy's loyalty to the most extreme members of his caucus. These far-right members are refusing to negotiate in good faith. They have continuously moved the…

Meet Celly, a constituent of mine living in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. He is an Army veteran and a cancer survivor, and he has received 100 percent disabled veterans benefits due to his trauma as he was serving for us in the…

My Republican colleagues are presently fiddling while Rome burns, but I come to praise my Republican colleagues, not to bury them. I come to praise my friend Patrick McHenry for his wisdom just 6 months ago when he said that he opposes…

I strongly oppose President Biden's proposal to force blue-collar workers in my district to pay off the student loans of borrowers who attended universities who are sitting on billion-dollar endowments. In my district, there are 599,500…

Solar energy is one form of electricity generation that is growing in the United States, yet we do not have the economy of scale in manufacturing solar systems to meet supply and demand for industry and consumers. Solar energy accounted…

I oppose this legislation that will harm 43 million student loan borrowers who need debt relief so that the Republicans can spend trillions of dollars in just a few weeks on tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent. Over 100,000 borrowers in…

I thank Congressmen Goldman and Deluzio for the work they are doing in their districts, the work that they do here in Congress, and for their commitment to our country, to our communities before the politics that we are seeing before us…

One thing that needs to be very, very clear, the Bergman bill does not have a TEF issue, a toxic exposure fund issue. That is where the concerns are. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1715

I will, and we will, work on this priority. What we can do is chew gum and walk at the same time, and that means we can go ahead and not only work on homelessness but also this bill, as important as it is. I appreciate the gentleman's…

I encourage all Members to support this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Bost) that the House suspend the…
