Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the class of 2023 graduates from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the 23 exemplary graduates from the State of Michigan. From plebes to firsties, and now second lieutenants in the U.S…

We had a slogan in Army aviation: ``High Above the Best.'' It was a reminder that the American people entrusted us, me and my men, to provide air support for the soldiers fighting for their lives on the ground each and every single day…

Imagine if all of this, Mr. Chairman, had gone into technologies to stop carbon pollution, methane pollution, other greenhouse gases.

I am calling this Special Order hour the 40-year address, not to self-aggrandize, although I am marking that milestone year on Saturday when the House Chamber is not open and I will not be able to make such an address, but more so to…

I was unable to attend votes due to ongoing treatment from my recent cancer diagnosis. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 274, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 275, and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 276. The SPEAKER pro…

Madam President, let me say two points to my colleague. First, fundamentally, this is about who makes medical decisions. Do we trust women? Do we trust the person who is pregnant? Do we trust their ability to work with their doctor? Who…

I thank all my colleagues for getting involved in this relevant and timely bill. I rise today in support of H.R. 3672 to name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Indian River, Michigan, as the ``Pfc…

I thank the chair for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of H.R. 1615 and in support of our gas stoves. Across southern Michigan, people--including chefs in my district and, most importantly, my wife--are bewildered by the…

For far too long for-profit charter schools have operated without accountability. Without the necessary oversight for charter schools, our children will continue to suffer while taxpayers bankroll charter school fraud, waste, and abuse. I…

I don't think my colleagues on the other side are aware that it is Gun Violence Awareness Month, which should actually be every month. We have already had over 290 mass shootings this year. That is more mass shootings than days in the…
