Nancy Pelosi is dragging the entire House of Representatives back here to Washington, D.C., on taxpayer dollars for an unnecessary political vote. Speaker Pelosi is choosing to vote on a political conspiracy theory regarding the United…

Mr. President, ``Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows''--so wrote novelist George Orwell. In the late 1980s, I traveled to the former Soviet Union as part of a youth soccer…

I thank the ranking member, my good friend, for yielding to me. You know, the legislation we have been talking about has a lot of good merits, but I was on the floor last week talking about the mice that get into a good bill and destroy it…

Just 5 months ago, we had the hottest economy in 37 years. Running a business--starting it from Main Street as a little company-- it was lucky enough to grow over those 37 years. Three of my four kids run it now. The reason I ran for the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and thank him for his good work on this bill. My amendment supports the important Water Power Technologies Office in the Department of Energy. This office offers grants to deploy hydropower, pumped…

Mr. President, I rise to discuss the HEALS Act. As we continue to confront this coronavirus pandemic, we have to ensure that our schools and our employers can safely reopen. Our healthcare providers must also have the resources they need…

On rollcall Vote No. 167, I was unavoidably detained and unable to cast my vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall Vote No. 167.

I thank my friend for yielding. Like my great colleague from the great State of Texas, I love America, but I want to know: Why does it seem like some want America to fail this test? We should all be rooting for America's success in its…

I thank my friend and colleague from the great State of Texas for organizing this important conversation that we are having here this evening. There is so much, as the gentleman has already said, that makes America great, our history, our…

John Lewis was certainly a leader amongst men. He was a mentor. He was a friend. And my heart goes out to his family. Our hearts go out to his family. I can remember, Mr. Speaker, during the healthcare vote, I was coming out of Cannon and…

Madam President, Senator Grassley and I share a passion that I think most Americans do in that it is time that we end this stranglehold that the healthcare industry has on all of us because they pose as free enterprisers, but there is…

I thank the ranking member for yielding, and I want to congratulate him on a tremendous record of service to our Nation and to our men and women in uniform. It seems fitting that this piece of legislation would be named after him. It…

As the fair season begins, I want to wish the best of luck to all 4-H'rs across Indiana's Sixth District. Though this year's fairs are virtual and may look very different, the hard work they have put in throughout this past year I want to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition of H.R. 2, an ultra-partisan bill that puts urban centers above my rural communities. I was frankly stunned at how few people showed up here in Washington, D.C…

This is a Nancy Pelosi power grab again. I remind my colleagues that there is no challenge too great when we unite as Americans, yet here we are. House Democrats choose to bring this bill which is nothing more than the latest progressive…

First of all, I want to echo all the points made by Mr. Walden in his opening statement. A decade ago, ObamaCare became the law of the land. This massive, near government takeover of our Nation's healthcare system came full of empty…

Mr. President, there has been a lot of talk on this floor about border security in recent years. It is amazing how much of what is said resembles what was said a quarter century ago. I am equally amazed by how the politics of border…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Endless Frontier Act
