It is a good time for Pennsylvania. Some would say we are on a roll. The Phillies made it to the World Series; Jalen Hurts is the MVP; and the Eagles are the best team in football. Last November, Pennsylvanians spoke loudly. Josh Shapiro…

As political violence rises in our country and abroad, our Nation's leaders should be united in condemning political violence in all forms, as well as the vile rhetoric that fuels it. From Charlottesville to Pittsburgh to El Paso, we have…

The American people expect Congress to address the issues they care about, kitchen table issues like being able to afford prescription drugs or get a good-paying job and addressing the gun violence that is plaguing our neighborhoods. But…

It is a crime now to kill a child born alive. In fact, in May of 2013, a Philadelphia man was convicted of first degree murder in the killing of three infants. He is now serving life without parole. Either my colleagues on the other side…

I thank my friend from Oklahoma for yielding. My friends on the other side of the aisle are so concerned all the time about civil rights, having the majority for the last few years, they are not interested. They are not interested in what…

This week, we will take historic steps to reverse the crises created by President Biden's administration and fulfill our Commitment to America. For the past 2 years, the Biden administration has chosen to appease the radical left that…

I thank my friend from Nebraska for yielding. The idea, Mr. Speaker, of hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to close the tax gap is misguided. I served as revenue secretary for the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We did, in fact, close a tax…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 215, nays 206, not voting 10, as follows: [Roll No. 547] YEAS--215 Adams Aguilar Allred Auchincloss Axne…

I thank the distinguished gentleman from Massachusetts, the chairman of the Rules Committee for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, when I joined the Rules Committee, Chairman…

To my knowledge, this is a lameduck session. I am not sure if Democrats have changed the definition of ``lameduck.'' I know they tried to change the definition of ``recession'' this year, too. So I guess the language is constantly changing…

Let's just talk briefly about all the junk that is in this omnibus. This omnibus increases funding for nondefense programs by 8 percent in addition to the trillions of dollars that have been spent over the last 2 years. There is over $12…

This is completely disgusting. Everything about it is disgusting: the fact that it showed up in the middle of the night, the fact that we knew for essentially a year, everybody in this place knew what was coming, that this had to be done…

I thank my good friend from Arkansas for his leadership on this bill. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong support of S. 1942, the National Heritage Area Act. National Heritage Areas provide countless economic benefits to the communities…

Mr. President, I wish to expand upon the remarks I delivered earlier today on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which this body voted to include in the omnibus spending package. I first introduced this bill in 2012 with Senator Shaheen…

Mr. President, this bill is about protecting pregnant workers. We shouldn't be treating pregnant workers who happen to be State and local government employees differently than we treat private sector employees or differently than we treat…

That is exactly right. We all want to help, but you don't write a check that you can't afford. There is no money in your bank account to pay for somebody's house down the street while leaving your house unpaid for and your back door open…

The shortest day of the year, the darkest day of the year, and now we are voting on it without-- Let's face it, let's talk about some of the things we know that are in it. We already know, as the gentleman from Texas told us, that your tax…

Mr. President, I want to start by saying something very simple about what we are about to vote on. This bill is about two words: reasonable accommodations. It is as simple as that. More than 30 years ago, we passed the Americans with…
