We can update the AAV all we want, but it is, you know, really, you know, dumb muscle usage instead of actually, you know, brainpower and management.

This audit is a sham. Why would you hire anyone named Cyber Ninjas?

The fact is if Puerto Rico were a state, there would be no financial control board.

The single most egregious example of colonialism is the financial control board, which represents a cardinal sin against the sovereignty and self-determination of Puerto Rico.

Puerto Ricans on the island are citizens of the United States, and we are here today to debate whether those citizens should be equal.

This reeks of a sort of paternalism from us stateside Members of Congress.

It would be extremely hypocritical of me to somehow use those two standards.

If you get fifty plus one, that's a mandate.

I do find it odd that some Democrats are arguing that this last election, that Puerto Rico had a referendum is somehow illegitimate.

I've never understood why the Puerto Ricans I served with were treated as second-class citizens and that their citizenship could be decided by their zip codes.

Copper is one of the most important metals needed to build our clean energy future, and Arizona is fortunate to have a plentiful supply.

The House Veterans Affairs Committee is currently conducting an investigation into the prevalence of white supremacy in the veteran community.

We really should censure them and, if possible, remove them from Congress.

We need to admit that this election was a free and fair election and that -- and that Donald Trump lost in a free and fair election.

Referendums are expensive but I will raise the money to kill this democracy-killing bill. Follow this bill. If it passes, we will have 90 days after it is signed into law to collect the necessary signatures to get it on the ballot and then…

I am the proud son of immigrants. Growing up, I heard stories about parties, politicians, and Presidents invalidating elections when the people took power for themselves. That is why, when I joined the Marine Corps, the most sacred part of…

I urge my colleagues to support the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

My fellow Floridians, Congressman Crist and Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, have presented important reforms here today.

In my own home state, Florida's coasts remain in danger of offshore oil drilling, and our great Florida reef is in danger of massive coral bleaching from warming seas.

The path forward is clear. We need to come together to pass bipartisan bills, and to continue to act on climate.

The best deterrence, obviously, is having a strong alliance that, you know, trusts each other and believes in each other.

I would hope that they would have some urgency right now.
