Americans are crying out tonight for targeted relief; and, instead, this bill sends money straight to Speaker Pelosi's pet project in California, the Bay Area Rapid Transit Silicon Valley phase 2. How insulting to the frontline workers who…

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mrs. Hinson moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1319 to the Committee on the Budget. The material…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 205, nays 218, not voting 8, as…

The ability to have FaceTime and Skype and the ability to see our children and our grandchildren, incredibly important.
