I want to point out some of the inconsistencies in the argument. They have talked about healthcare, and I pointed out three or four times already that Congress put $50 billion into the Working Families Tax Cuts Act specifically to…

I am constantly amazed at what my colleagues across the aisle say in response to these bills. They make this claim that prescribed burns will increase air pollution, when the fact is that we are trying to prevent wildfires. When you…

once again, it is as though we are debating two different bills. I have no idea where industry comes into this. This is about protecting forests. It is about promoting wildlife. It is about reducing emissions by prescribed burns. If my…

Mr. Speaker, I am amazed at what my Democratic colleagues say about these issues as far as quoting data. The data shows, as I have already pointed out, that the emissions from controlled burns, from prescribed burns, could be as low as 17…

I don't think we want to follow the California model for America's economic future, with their high energy prices, the highest poverty rate in the country, and destructive economic policies driving businesses out of the State. I think with…

In 2025, the Supreme Court decision in Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County, Colorado, ruled that upstream-downstream impacts of Federal action fall outside the scope of the environmental impact statement under NEPA. In…

I will remind them again that, in particular, the State of Ohio received $202,030,262 from the Rural Health Transformation Fund that every Democrat voted against. I remind my colleagues that the Republicans have made a major investment in…

I rise in support of H.R. 3632, the Power Plant Reliability Act, sponsored by my colleague Mr. Griffith from Virginia's Ninth Congressional District. H.R. 3632 enhances existing authority under the Federal Power Act to protect the…

Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate that we acknowledge the passing of the last of the Tuskegee Airmen. I will share a little bit about them. They trained on Moton Field and on Tuskegee Army Air Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, and later formed…

For four years, the Biden-Harris administration waged war on American energy and did nothing to make the U.S. less dependent on adversarial nations like China for critical minerals. This has become a serious threat to our national security.

Dependence on China for critical minerals is an undeniable threat to our national security.

I rise to congratulate Second Lieutenant Caroline Robinson on her graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point. A little over 4 years ago, I had the honor of nominating Caroline to West Point when she was a student at…

I rise today to recognize my alma mater, Hackleburg High School, on winning the 1A baseball State championship. In the fourth inning, the Panthers were tied with Leroy High School 4-4. Ross Hudson, who was named MVP, singled, driving in…

It is amazing to me to listen to my Democratic colleagues talk about the cost of living going up. Mr. Speaker, during the first week of the Biden administration, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle shut down the Keystone XL…
