Today the House majority will likely pass the faulty Health Appropriations bill, which eliminates the protection of the Hyde and Weldon amendments. This will happen despite polling that consistently shows nearly 60 percent of Americans…

I thank the gentleman for making that point, although I am somewhat sorry because I was going to make the same point. But I am going to make another point. First of all, let me say to those who may be watching, the gentleman who just spoke…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Raskin of Maryland moves to reconsider the vote on adoption of House Resolution 567. Motion to Table Mr. McGOVERN. Mr…

I repeat my admiration for the chair and the work that she has done and the staff has done. I thank them very much. I might say that the ranking member, who is speaking on this bill, is, A, a dear friend of mine, and, very frankly, a…

As everybody knows, I had the delightful opportunity of serving on the Appropriations Committee as an active member for 23 years. I am on leave, and I may be on leave forever, who knows, but I care a lot about these bills. These are the…

I want to thank Chairman McGovern for yielding, and also for his leadership on the Rules Committee and, equally important, his relentless leadership in the House to help those that are unacceptably hungry in America. I rise today as a…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Hoyer moves that the resolution be laid on the table. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table…

If you mention Jerry Lewis from California, our Jerry Lewis probably wouldn't be the first one you would think of. You would think of Dean Martin's sidekick. When I first met Jerry Lewis some 40 years ago, I guess, now--how long has Jerry…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate that my colleague from Maryland, the distinguished Anthony Brown, is presiding, having served in Iraq and served in the U.S. Army for a 30-year stint. Mr. Speaker, I want…

I thank the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), for yielding. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning hour and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 10:30 p.m. On Tuesday, the House will…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. He is certainly accurate that the Hyde amendment has been in our bills for a very long period of time. What I think is not completely accurate is that it has been a bipartisan support, has enjoyed…

I think the gentleman can explain it. I think, frankly, your party is hoist on its own petard. We brought to this floor, with Mr. Katko and Mr. Thompson agreeing on the process, offering to the House an equally divided five-and-five…

The legislation we passed said the Speaker would appoint all the members. These Members were not kicked off; they never got on. Liz Cheney was asked whether that was the appropriate thing to do, and her response was--you had her quote: ``I…

Does the gentleman believe that the three Members that the Speaker accepted and was willing to appoint would not have asked those questions?

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Your side had an opportunity to support the Capitol Police. Your side had an opportunity to support law enforcement. Your side had the opportunity to increase the capability of the Capitol Police to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. You had an opportunity to support the police and you voted with those who wanted to defund the police. All of you had an opportunity, just a few weeks ago while we had a bill on the floor, to support, to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We have brought them to the floor. We are going to continue to bring them to the floor, and we hope Republicans support them. We created 3 million new jobs; more jobs in our first 5 months than any…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. It was not radical spending in 2020, because Trump signed the bills. Trump left, and it became radical spending. That is situational ethics, Mr. Speaker. I will leave it at that.
