Meet me on the debate stage. Let's have another debate. There is more to talk about and the voters of America deserve to hear the conversations that I think we should be having on substance, on issues, on policies.

In 2010 it began to be used widely, primarily by Black Americans to bring awareness to social inequities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBTQ+ rights. Today, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines ``woke'' as ``aware of…

On Roll Call No. 438, I was not recorded, but I intended to vote NAY. ____________________

In recent months there has been a lot of rhetoric around Project 2025, but many Americans still don't understand its very dangerous implications. Donald Trump's Project 2025 is a well- funded Presidential transition plan which would…

I also point out that this bill is opposed by over 40 organizations and investor advocates. I include in the Record the letter these groups signed indicating their opposition to H.R. 4790. September 17, 2024. Re Opposition to anti-ESG…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 215, nays 203, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 12…

One of the most important things that has happened in this Congress is the exposure of the alarming state of affairs at American universities. Our institutions of higher learning have been gripped by retrograde prejudices and abhorrent…

Too often, students arrive on campus without an understanding of why free speech is important or how it has been such an important force for progress throughout our Nation's history. This legislation will make sure the First Amendment…

We could just call this give America over to private equity. The whole thing is designed to enrich a small group of people. Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Huffman for his dedication.

I thank Mr. Huffman, my colleague from the north coast of California, for yielding. Whether north or south, we Californians value things like a woman's right to choose, basic civil rights, human rights, and LGBTQ rights, so I thank him for…

I thank the gentlewoman very much, and I am glad she spoke to the so-called civil service reform element of Project 2025. They call it Schedule F. It is an innocuous-sounding thing, but again, like so many parts of Project 2025, when you…

I now am proud to yield to the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania, Mary Gay Scanlon.

Maybe a nonpolitical civil service is actually a good idea, just like Teddy Roosevelt concluded that it was a century ago.

I thank the gentlewoman very much. I now yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Jackson), a man who you might say has civil rights and social justice in his blood. I am sure he has some things to say about Trump's Project 2025.

I thank the gentleman from Illinois for speaking to the extremism and cruelty of Trump's Project 2025 so eloquently, and he is exactly right. Healthcare is in the crosshairs. One of the many ways in which Project 2025 would take us…

Earlier this year I founded the Congressional Task Force to Stop Project 2025. Some people might be curious as to why I did that. I have served in Congress for almost 12 years, and throughout that period, I have seen a lot of wild and…

I thank the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse) and agree with him. Many of our Republican colleagues have been trying to disown Project 2025. Certainly their nominee, Donald Trump, has been trying to do that in ways that are quite…

I thank the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett) for her support. As I prepare to yield to the gentlewoman from Vermont (Ms. Balint), I will just observe that my colleague's comments caused me to think about the fact that we…
