I am prepared to close, I have no further speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, I have already talked about the fact that this bill did not go through regular order. It is even questionable whether the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 216, nays 206, not voting 8, as follows: [Roll No. 521] YEAS--216 Adams Aguilar…

The latest inflation numbers are in. Inflation has increased 7.1 percent in the last year, and in my home State of Pennsylvania, it has increased 12 percent. Despite the Biden administration celebrating, nobody in my district is…

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 ordering the previous question will be followed by 5- minute votes on: Adoption of the…

I thank the distinguished gentleman and my good friend from California for yielding me the customary 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, the rule before us provides for consideration of four pieces of…

Once again, this rule provides for four pieces of legislation that, once again, are just missed opportunities to actually address the problems we are facing. Let's talk about one of the biggest problems, and that is the southern border. To…

Madam President, I would ask consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Instead of addressing any of the crises that are actually facing this Nation, House Democrats are allowing the Senate to ram through a huge omnibus spending bill that was written without the input of House Republicans and was written…

Madam President, I rise as so many of us are talking about today and reflecting upon the massacre in Newtown, CT, Sandy Hook Elementary School, 10 years ago today. I rise for two purposes: One is to commemorate those who lost their lives…

There are few times in our lives when we really get to honor true heroes. Today is one of those days that we have by naming a post office after him. I am going to read through this document that I have to give you an idea of just who…

Throughout his career, Fred Keller has had many titles. He's been a CEO, State representative, Congressman, and deacon. But the title that I know Representative Keller is most proud of is ``grandfather.'' Madam Speaker, I rise today to…

I yield to my colleague from Louisiana. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.

Mr. President, I just want to add parenthetically before I offer the unanimous consent request--Senator Murray made reference to the overwhelming support. This bill, when it comes to a final vote, will have at least 60 votes in the Senate…

Mr. President, I rise today to talk about the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which is a bill I first introduced in 2012 with Senator Shaheen of New Hampshire. Senator Cassidy from Louisiana has worked hard for years with me and with others…
