Mr. President, 200 years ago this month, a man was born into slavery in a cabin not far from here in Maryland. The child knew his mother only briefly; they were cruelly separated when he was young. He knew his father only by the rumors. He…

I am proud to rise today in support of the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond to Health and Wellness Act, which is the acronym SOAR. In April of 2016, I worked with the Department of Homeland Security to host a Human Trafficking Awareness…

I want to thank Congressman Evans for his tremendous leadership and his friendship, and I thank him for hosting this very important Special Order hour. His leadership in our caucus to fight the epidemic of gun violence in America is bold…

We have been out of session for a week, and much has happened in America. Of course, the most dreadful thing is Parkland, Florida, and the Douglas High School. I shed quite a few tears thinking about those students and looking at the…

This House generally jumps into action once there has been a mass shooting by having a moment of silence. Today we didn't even have a moment of silence because the House knows that those are meaningless acts that don't have any effect on…

Again, I thank the vice chairman and the ranking member for their persistence on this measure. I also commend Mr. Gohmert, who has worked with Kari's dad and has seen this through. We are pleased to get this on its way to the President's…

Mr. President, we find ourselves in another position like those we have found ourselves in before. We find ourselves in a position in which the government's spending authority is set to expire in just a few hours. We have known this was…

Mr. President, there is good news, there is great news, and then there is the story of Lucas Warren of Dalton, GA. I don't personally know Lucas. In fact, he is only 18 months old. So he, of course, has the good sense not to engage with or…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Gerber Spokesbaby of 2018

It is so interesting to listen to this debate. I just want to make three points. First, on the military funding, I represent Fort Campbell. When you walk on that post and talk to the men and women in uniform and talk to them about their…

This continuing resolution fails to honor the temporary protective status for immigrants. It fails to raise budget caps for defense and nondefense spending, and it neglects to provide desperately needed funding for hurricane- and…

I want to thank the gentlewoman for yielding and, once again, for her tremendous leadership on so many issues as our ranking member. As a member of the Appropriations Committee and the Budget Committee, I rise in strong opposition to this…

This is something that allows them to have that quality of life. Why would you vote against lifting these caps and giving seniors what they deserve? They have paid for Medicare through their working life. What they are seeking is to be…
