Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mayor Ken Miyagishima on the occasion of his retirement and to recognize his more than three decades of work as a public servant who has tirelessly represented Las Cruces as the longest serving mayor in…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. We have seen the Republicans kill a lot of their own rules. A record number of Republican rules have been killed on the floor of the House. I think it is a little too early to crow…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Pascrell made a really important point, and that is that this problem arose and impacted middle-class Americans. That happened because Republicans and the Trump tax…

Mr. Speaker, this report details the massive tax breaks that the Trump and Republican 2018 tax bill primarily benefited the wealthiest Americans, and we constantly hear them want to make it permanent. We constantly hear them say: Oh, those…

I think it was an educational hearing for my colleagues who are newly being introduced to the concept of natural capital.

Mr. Speaker, I remind everybody here that Democrats offered an amendment in the Rules Committee so that we could have fixed the SALT problem not just for tax year 2023, which is when you pay your taxes now in 2024, but fixed it for 2…

Mr. Speaker, let's go back to who caused this problem in the first place. It was those Republicans with their Republican tax cut. The Trump tax cut is the one that caused this problem. Let's not forget why we are facing this. Let's not…

I especially appreciate Mr. Westerman's comments about how the United States is behind other nations, and needs to standardize the way in which we do economic accounting of our natural resources.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, the Republicans' fix needs a fix. Really. They are proposing that instead of actually fixing the SALT problem, they keep trying to say: Oh, it is all right for us to do…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, we just have to keep saying it over and over again: How dare the majority scold us for not fixing a problem that they created. How dare they scold us, and how dare they…
