I am prepared to close and yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, they can say it all they want. It doesn't make it true. This bill demonizes no one. It doesn't prohibit anyone from participating in sports. We have heard a lot…

I flatly reject any talk of fearmongering on behalf of Republicans on this side of the aisle. Talk about fearmongering, we have just heard from our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that, according to this bill, female student…

This is the bill that they say is demonizing: ``H.R. 734, to amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a…

We have heard our Democratic colleagues across the aisle talk about Republicans not caring about sexual abuse of female athletes and it is going underreported. But not a single Democrat voted for H.R. 5 which has language in it in the…

It is this last letter from Virginia's attorney general that makes an important point. I am quoting directly from the letter, ``Unfortunately, due to the proximity of our communities, D.C.'s crime problem has become Virginia's crime…

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Leger Fernandez), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 298 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 298 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker…

I spoke the truth with passion. And when you speak the truth with passion and protecting my constituents, it is with passion.

The respect I have for you, I think we have had personal conversations, I appreciate that. I just don't want anybody to misinterpret maybe my volume for my passion. It is not an insult.

You claimed the withdrawal that you forced upon my constituents is in the boundary waters. That is wrong.

The work that you and the Biden Administration have done following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act to invest in innovative strategies to cut climate pollution, create good-paying jobs for Minnesotans, and accelerate our…

I am concerned about the EPA's approach with regard to this clean energy transition.

I am concerned that these proposals are not practical for the agriculture community.

Why does the EPA wait until the last minute every single summer to issue the waiver?
