My amendment prohibits funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the CFPB's rule entitled ``Registry of Nonbank Covered Persons Subject to Certain Agency and Court Orders.'' Mr. Chairman, there is a recurring theme here. That is…

Again, I want to point out in its Janus decision, the Supreme Court affirmed that employees have a First Amendment right to opt out. The decision didn't say that the employee has a First Amendment right 1 month out of the year. It said…

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 would argue that it is time that Congress empowers any President to be able to staff their office, and if they have a member of their administration who is undermining their policies that they are able to--and it is not that we are…

I thank my colleague for his comments. We have civil service protections to protect career Federal employees from being fired or demoted just because the President or their supervisor disagrees with them politically. We must allow an…

Our Republic depends on our bureaucracies faithfully implementing the laws and policies set forth by our elected officials. A misguided rule proposed by the Office of Personnel Management could threaten a President's ability to ensure that…

I urge adoption, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Ogles). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared…

I guess that is Common Core math because attempting to block an increase isn't a cut. We are talking about $12 million off the current appropriations. That is a modest cut. By the way, the gas stoves, that was attempted through rulemaking…

My amendment reduces funding for the Consumer Product Safety Commission, CPSC, to fiscal year 2019 levels, something that Republicans have made a central piece of any spending arrangements in this Congress. Under the Democrats' fiscal year…
