Poor program design combines with unequal access to resources to worsen every single climate disaster that hits this country.

As a Senator who has heard from countless Missouri parents on this very issue, and as a parent and grandparent myself, this is a huge concern of mine as well.

I call on my colleagues to support President Biden's Build Back Better Act.

The National Flood Insurance Program only supports people who can afford to buy flood insurance; almost precisely the opposite of how this program should work.

Hurricane Ida was yet another graphic example of how unprepared our Nation is for increasingly dangerous climate disasters driven by fossil fuels.

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 365, nays 51, not voting 15, as…

To close. Again, Mr. Speaker, this process has been horribly managed, and it is unfortunate that we didn't take this action before transportation programs were shut down and people were furloughed. Having said that, we need to provide this…

I think that we actually have a template in place which shows how we can fix the problems at SBA.

Community banks have played a significant role in assisting and rescuing small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Increases to the corporate tax rate, increases to the individual rates, and the increases to the capital gains rate will all crush our country's small businesses.

I truly hope that my Democrat colleagues don't believe the garbage that they have been spouting, but I would say that they probably do. Unfortunately, for months Democrats have been pursuing a radical partisan agenda that contains the most…
