I have not abandoned it. I voted to fund these agreements that we have had with Israel, each and every one of them. But I did it because I thought we would have a two-state solution. And without a two-state solution, I don't see a path to…

I rise today to salute the people of Michigan past and present who have served in our Armed Forces and to honor their families. There are few actions as selfless as serving in our military. When our Nation called, these brave Michiganders…

I rise today to speak about rural communities like my hometown of Clare, MI. It was a great place to grow up. My dad and my grandpa ran the local Oldsmobile dealership on Main Street, and my mom was director of nursing at the local…

We cannot allow this hearing to become a distraction action by my colleagues across the aisle from 23 days of legislative inaction.

Should former President Trump be denounced for allowing Iraq to buy electricity from Iran?

And I think that your opening statement by this last discussion from our colleagues does tell us this is a bipartisan hearing.

I would ask unanimous consent that John Schmidt, a detailee in my office, be granted floor privileges until December 31 of this year. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection. ____________________

That is completely unacceptable because the folks--and, Mr. Camp, you made this point with the case you raised--these are not cases to be processed.

Not a scintilla of a cent has been released to Iran.

the Act is designed, and typically implemented, in a manner that carefully takes account of its potential effects on commercial activity.

a conclusion by NMFS that the proposed action is likely to jeopardize a listed species or result in adverse modification of its critical habitat does not automatically prevent that action from proceeding.

How does the ESA manage to protect these and other species without causing a shutdown or collapse of commercial activity along the Gulf coast?

Our Republican majority this year passed H.R. 5, the Parents Bill of Rights, that protects students, and ensures parents of their rights to know what books are in school libraries.

Not one of my Democratic friends voted yes. Not one.

I do not think we should ever put a 7 year old in that predicament.

Inappropriate books in school libraries, and local communities are within their right to remove them.

I would like to see Congress provide sustained funding for checkpoint security technologies, which is why I am a cosponsor of Ranking Member Thompson's bill, the Fund the TSA Act.

To build on this progress, we must provide additional funding to not only preserve those pay raises for this fiscal year, but to empower TSA workers with next-generation technology that will maximize TSA's detection capabilities.
