Mr. Speaker, Hyde amendment protections need to be added to this bill. Taxpayer funds should not be forced to subsidize the killing of an unborn child by dismemberment or by baby poison pills. The Hyde amendment was not--I will say it…
Yesterday our Nation witnessed the killing of a fellow American in broad daylight, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her name was Renee Nicole Good. She was a concerned citizen and a mother. The loss of her life was entirely preventable. This…
The Republicans have never supported the Affordable Care Act. When we passed it--and I was one of the drafters how many years ago now--I think there were none--certainly almost no Republican votes. They were not there when we tried to…
Mr. Speaker, House Republicans ended 2025 by failing to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits causing healthcare costs to skyrocket for millions of Americans. Since President Trump took office, electricity prices have gone up by 13…
there is no more important bill than Leader Jeffries' bill to make healthcare more affordable for more than 20 million Americans whose monthly health premiums have skyrocketed because of Republican inaction and indifference. When I was…
I rise to recognize Christine Orosz and Melanie Panarese, two exceptional educators in Lodi, New Jersey, whose dedication to their students and community exemplifies the very best of public education. A graduate of Lodi public schools…
while we are talking about education in America, I want to talk about something more serious: the Department of Education's continued war on our schools. Last month, without warning, the Department informed eight schools in our district…
Five years ago, a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Yet, on the first day of Donald Trump's second term, he pardoned more than 1,500 criminals involved in that insurrection carried…
I totally oppose this bill. I think these decisions should be left with parents and physicians, but more than anything else, I will mention today that Republicans need to do the right thing and bring up the Jeffries discharge petition that…
We, the undersigned medical professional organizations, write in strong opposition to H.R. 3492. Healthcare for transgender young people is individualized, age-appropriate, provided according to longstanding expert clinical guidelines, and…
Mr. Speaker, I just have to correct two comments that were made by my Republican colleagues. First, the sponsor of the bill said that they are just talking about Federal funds. The fact of the matter is, they are not just talking about…
Mr. Speaker, it is shamelessly bold for Republicans to bring a bill to the floor called the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act. That is today's Republican Party. They simply lack any shame. They say that they are doing no harm to Medicaid when…
last April, Jersey and our Nation lost a dedicated father, husband, public servant, and just a real giant. I miss Don Payne, like we all do. He was a Member of Congress for nearly 14 years. The son of Newark was an incredible champion for…
Today would have been Congressman Don Payne, Jr.'s, 67th birthday. Don was more than a colleague to me. He was family. He called me Uncle Frank, and that meant a lot to me. In the House, our names often appeared right next to each other on…
Mr. Speaker, I stress again that the President promised to cut Americans' power bills in half. Instead, he and his Republican accomplices in the House are causing those prices to soar with their backward policies and, essentially, their…
I want to make sure the chairman from Kentucky knows that a middle-class, 60-year-old couple in his district is seeing their premium go up by $1,711 per month unless we extend the ACA tax credits.
before I yield time, I will make sure that the gentleman from Texas knows that without the ACA tax credit extension, a middle-class 60-year-old couple in his district is seeing their premium go up by $2,049 per month.
I just want to commend him for his leadership and for that of some of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, like Lindsey Graham and Mike Lee, who were extraordinary in getting this done. When I got to the Senate about 12 years…
