I speak in opposition to this amendment because it puts American security at risk. Plutonium pits, a key component of nuclear warhead production, have not been regularly produced in the United States since 1989. We are forced to refurbish…

What an extraordinary day that we have, the beginning of the speakership of Mike Johnson of Louisiana. I hope everyone will see his acceptance speech last night. They need to look at that. It was a conservative, very clear voice calling…

My amendment cuts the salary of the Secretary of the Department of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, to $1. The job that she has done is far below standard by any measure. She testified and promoted a company in Greenville--my State, not in my…

My amendment is similar to the others that I have proposed. It prohibits funding for the American Climate Corps that the Biden administration recently established through an executive order. Thank God it is not binding after his…

This is my amendment, which is similar to what we talked about before on the DEI lunacy. My amendment would prohibit funds from being used by the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases. The interagency working…

My amendment would prohibit funding for policies that advance the Biden administration's radical DEI agenda, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Specifically, my amendment would prohibit the use of funds for the Department of Energy's Office…
