Lloyd Doggett
@lloyddoggett· Democratic · TX· Sep 18, 2024

This bill wrongfully seeks to codify Trump's one-state solution. Strangely, Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas completely agree on one subject, they want from the river to the sea. The only question is: Who gets to control and subjugates the…

As Houstonians, Texans, and Americans, we want to thank him for his service and sacrifice, and, most of all, we thank his family. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I ask the House to observe a moment of silence to honor Corporal Maher Husseini…

I would happily yield to Senator Cornyn for a question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.

@tedcruz· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

As usual, my friend, the fellow Senator from Texas, you are not missing something. That is precisely what is going on. This is not lawmaking. This is politics. This is partisan politics. This is an election campaign commercial that the…

@tedcruz· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

The Senator from Texas is exactly correct. As Senator Cornyn knows well, there are multiple ways to draft a bill. What the Democrats have drafted is a bill that is intended to force Republicans to vote no because that is the objective…

I thank Senator Britt for that question. No, no Democrat has spoken to me. I am, like you, unequivocally in support of IVF, but, understand, the Democrats do not want to pass legislation protecting IVF. If you are trying to pass…

John Cornyn
@johncornyn· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

So if Senator Schumer and Senator Murray--the Senate Democrats who offered this bill--were actually serious about passing a bill to protect IVF, wouldn't the logical approach be to make sure there was an opportunity to offer and vote on an…

My colleagues and I are here tonight to honor the life of Harris County Precinct 4 Constable, Corporal Maher Husseini, who was senselessly murdered on September 3. Maher was an American by choice, immigrating here 30 years ago. He was my…

John Cornyn
@johncornyn· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

I am a little confused. If the Democrats sincerely want to pass a law relative to IVF, wouldn't they ordinarily work to have an amendment process where we can actually have debate and maybe achieve some consensus? It seems to me that by…

Al Green
@algreen· Democratic · TX· Sep 17, 2024

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I speak with a heavy heart because on occasions such as this, we are all reminded of the realistic possibility of losing a loved one without notice. It was without notice that a wife has lost her…

John Cornyn
@johncornyn· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

the Biden-Harris apparent strategy for handling the massive influx of migrants on the southern border has been to funnel them into allegedly temporary parole programs and act like the Biden-Harris border crisis has been resolved. Far from…

Ted Cruz
@tedcruz· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

I want to thank my friend Senator Britt for her powerful and passionate defense of in vitro fertilization. Senator Britt has been an incredible partner as she and I have worked to pass landmark Federal legislation protecting IVF for every…

John Cornyn
@johncornyn· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. The bill (S…

Ted Cruz
@tedcruz· Republican · TX· Sep 17, 2024

I would note there is one reason and one reason only that the Senate has not passed 100 to nothing a clear, unequivocal Federal protection of IVF: because Senate Democrats cynically chose to object. The Senator from Washington raised all…

Lloyd Doggett
@lloyddoggett· Democratic · TX· Sep 12, 2024

Republicans are true masters, masters at naming bills that do exactly the opposite of what they say they do. They sure have the wrong name on this bill. They call it: End Chinese Domination Act. It ought to be called the ``guarantee act.''…

U.S.-Mexico relations are at risk as President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador continues to take unprecedented and irresponsible steps to unlawfully seize American property. President AMLO is planning to take control of a quarry and port owned…
