we have these open hearings. These people are going to be managing frontline workers that put their lives on the line. So they better pass an FBI background check.

no one wants to follow that, but I just thought that I should say a few words, as a classmate coming in together--many of us sitting in this back row for so long--back, the class of 2006, 17 years. And I am going to miss Jon Tester. I am…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my bipartisan legislation, the Prove It Act, which gives small businesses a seat at the table during the regulatory process and shields them from the most…

The Prove It Act gives the hardworking American small businesses a voice in the regulatory process. It is time that we strengthen and empower our small business community rather than force them to comply with unnecessary and burdensome…

I will wait for my colleague to receive her hugs of gratitude, and I have a few words I would like to say. Mr. President, I wanted to just take a moment to add my thanks and congratulations to our colleague Senator Laphonza Butler. You…

The Congressional Progressive Caucus has always served as an incredible vehicle for transformative change, justice, and movement building.

as we saw Senator Peters' emotion about our dear friend, I saw that emotion well up in the eyes of so many of her staff, even before she started to speak, and I think that is because of the love that Debbie has engendered for so many years…

I am here to stand in support of my bill, H.R. 8841, to rename the post office in Roseau, Minnesota, in honor of Mr. Floyd B. Olson, who faithfully served as postmaster for the community for 25 years. Floyd was a staple in his community…

I ask unanimous consent that the scheduled vote begin immediately. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I do think it is rich that the Democrats are talking about President Trump going after these groups because the Democrats, both under President Obama and under President Biden, have gone after conservative groups trying to make them look…

I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, once again, I do not believe that any of what my Republican friends are talking about on the floor…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1576 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1576 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the…

My Democrat colleagues continue over and over and over to try to demonize and vilify President-elect Trump. They just spent months trying to turn him into the boogieman who is going to destroy this country and create chaos. Voters flatly…

I just wanted to reiterate what the chief whip has said here: that Senator Stabenow has, over and over again, against all odds, been able to negotiate a bipartisan bill. And when you look at these past bills--and you can correct me if I am…

I just think people should have hearings and you get to the bottom of all this and that was a way-back moment remembering Claire and I cross-examining Dr. Oz about some of these claims.

I don't believe so. I think this is one where you've started to see Republicans standing up, but Democrats have a clear role here.

We must have these hearings. We must ask the questions, and we must do the checks on people's backgrounds.

This doesn't mean we oppose every single one of them. I predict we won't. I think there will be some Democrats who will vote for some, and they won't vote for others.
