I recognize Wayne County Commissioner Abdul ``Al'' Haidous for his more than 40 years of public service to the city of Wayne and Wayne County and congratulate him on his retirement. We lovingly call him Al. He was born in Lebanon and came…

I honor the incredible life and legacy of Romulus Councilwoman Virginia Williams, who unexpectedly passed away. She has left a void in our community and in our hearts. Councilwoman Williams was a relentless advocate for our families…

I honor the life of former Dearborn Mayor Jack O'Reilly, Jr. Our community lost an extraordinary leader whose dedication to public service shaped the city of Dearborn and our communities in Michigan forever. Mayor O'Reilly served as the…

I would call attention to the fact that, in this bill, we offer no requirement for any type of invasive checks on women or men. They simply have to go to the birth certificate. That will give the answer. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 218, nays 206, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 9, as…

Certainly. That bill doesn't deal with this at all. It deals with men in sports.

I continue to hear the talk about invasion of privacy of young kids. It is just not true. On the other hand, let me explain to my colleagues what is invasive. Last year, Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky swimmer, testified in…

I am shocked at that description of this legislation and would ask where in the world that information is found in this bill. There is no requirement for inspections, and there is no necessary effort other than going to a person's birth…

I thank the incredible families of Michigan's 12th Congressional District for sending me back to Congress. I am truly honored to be able to be your voice in the people's House. As one of the only Members of the United States Congress who…

I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered read three times and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The bill (S. 5639)…

as if in legislative session and notwithstanding rule XXII, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. 5639, which was introduced earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the…

as we near the deadline to fund the government tonight without a clear path from my Republican colleagues in the House, it appears that we are once again on the brink of a government shutdown. When the clock runs out at midnight, the…

in a few moments, I will be asking unanimous consent for a really special person to be the Federal Cochair of the Great Lakes Authority, but let me speak a little bit, first, about him. Matthew Kaplan has been nominated to serve as the…

I rise today to pay tribute to a wonderful staffer who has been indispensable to me and the entire Stabenow team. She has left us now; so she is in the Gallery, rather than sitting next to me. But I am so grateful for Anne Stanski and her…

We all know that water is life. Safe, accessible, affordable drinking water is a human right. In 2021, I was proud to be able to work with the Energy and Commerce Committee and Congresswoman Dingell to establish the Low Income Household…

My residents still pay the highest auto insurance rates in the Nation. Auto insurance discrimination continues to keep our residents in the cycle of poverty. I want to ask the American people and the auto insurance industry: What does your…

Social Security is a vital part of our social safety net in our country. It keeps more people out of poverty than any other governmental program, nearly 23 million people. I wasn't surprised when the number one question and concern that…
