I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ____. None of the funds made…

I want to state one more time that the White House has had a reputation of spending funds to protect illegal aliens who have broken our Nation's laws to illegally enter our country. I want to make very clear in this financial services bill…

It is past time that social media companies actually have to come to the table and be held accountable for the use of their platforms in illicit trafficking.

I do not trust this administration with any of the taxpayer funding that they are handling. They are mishandling our taxpayer funds. If the gentleman says that there are no funds and agrees that this is precautionary, then I would urge…

Let me first thank my colleague from Puerto Rico, as well as the chairman and the ranking member for their support, their partnership, and their leadership in helping facilitate this bill in its journey to the House floor today. I thank…

I don't think that this is something that should be opposed. Redirecting $5 million from government bureaucracies to hazardous fuels reduction activities is very common sense. We are to be good stewards of our land, and part of that is…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 46, line 8, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $5,000,000)''. Page 46, line 14, after the…
