I would agree to--we are almost there, but this is actually very important. We are making a lot of progress. And I think the plaque will be there for a long, long time. So here is where we are at, just for a recap. We used to have 10…

But I do believe it. Would you consider modifying the resolution to take that piece out, just to make it clear, the paychecks while we are here, whatever the wording--that you and I sit down and we technically fix that wording so it…

so just to be crystal clear--because, again, this is getting a little deeply ambiguous--is the Senator from Oregon suggesting that we fund the entirety of the Department of Homeland Security--everything, everything, everything, the…

I want to speak to you--honestly, speak to my Democrat colleagues--from the heart. We have a situation in America today in which 260,000 families are without a paycheck. This fiscal year, they have been without a paycheck for more than…

I rise tonight and every day for the families of northwest Ohio and across our country being squeezed due to President Trump's reckless, illegal decisions. Today, the average price of gasoline across our Buckeye State of Ohio was $3.82…

I remember the 2008 financial crisis as follows: It was a situation where any day, you would think, we are going to face total and complete bankruptcy. I had mortgaged everything I owned in my life. I had maxed out my credit cards. I took…

for those who are not familiar with what actually happens here in Washington, DC, as I stated earlier, for the fifth time, Democrats have blocked to end debate on whether 260,000 families should get paid for the work that they have done…

today marks the fifth time that Republicans have asked to end debate and allow us to discuss funding the Department of Homeland Security. So for the people at home that don't keep up with Senate procedures, what the Democrats have actually…

I am not sure what I just heard because I just offered to fund TSA. I just offered to fund the Coast Guard, FEMA, Customs and Border Patrol, Secret Service, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, USCIS, Homeland Security…

I would like to continue exactly the themes my colleague from Vermont brought up, except I think, before we talk about artificial intelligence, we should talk about natural intelligence. It absolutely goes against natural intelligence for…

Look, I appreciate--and I know you are a person of good character, by the way. I genuinely believe that. But that is not what you are asking for. You are asking to fund just TSA, meaning the question is this: Why would we use 260,000…

So Homeland Investigations is part of ICE. There are 7,000 special agents that work for ICE that stop transnational criminals. You are not suggesting that we not fund them, are you?

we rise today with heavy hearts and deep gratitude to honor three courageous Ohio National Guard members who gave their lives in service to our Nation: Captain Seth Koval, Captain Curtis Angst, and Master Sergeant Tyler Simmons of the…

I know my election law. I know my election administration, and I believe Ohio is the gold standard for how to run an election. I made my mission clear in that role to make Ohio a place where it was easy to vote and hard to cheat. And many…

On February 28, President Donald Trump made a unilateral decision to take the United States and the American people to war against the nation of Iran. Iran is a nation of 93 million people with sophistication and fundamentalist religious…

So nobody on your side has agreed to fund USCIS. You have not suggested that. USCIS is an independent part of the Department of Homeland Security.

That has not been suggested by any Democrat. I appreciate that you are. Nobody has agreed to fund the bioweapons of mass destruction Agency-- not been suggested. You have specifically--not you personally--the Democrat Senators have…

Mr. Speaker, let's just step back and understand the Democrats' position for a second. First, they were for a wide-open border. You don't have to take my word for it, just remember what we saw. Every single day for 4 years of the Biden…
