And to respond, and I will riff a little, the cost is minimal in terms of the medical costs. It is just an excuse for the President to be homophobic. But Speaker Ryan's condemnation of this, or renouncement, did not exist. He responded by…
Speaker Ryan's response, in regard to a potential nuclear war: ``I think the President, in my own view of it, he likes the unpredictability side of this.'' That is right. Speaker Ryan thinks our Commander-in-Chief enjoys the…
Speaker Ryan's response: ``I do believe that he messed up in his comments on Tuesday . . . he has since then cleared that up.'' But Trump never clears up anything. He certainly did not in this case.
Speaker Ryan's response: President Trump ``has tremendous compassion.'' You can see the compassion. ``He is flying to these emergencies as soon as he can . . . it shows me that the people who are suffering from these tragedies are in his…
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of ``Profiles in Courage.'' John F. Kennedy's famous volume tells the stories of eight American leaders who put country before party and patriotism before politics, men for whom…
This weekend, as millions in Puerto Rico trudged through squalor and sewage in search of food, as hospitals ran low on power and medicine, as homes lay in ruins and businesses remained swamped under feet of water, our Commander in Chief…
How much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 32 minutes remaining.
Would you even be able to, by law, use a charter plane according to the funds we are allowed to expense?
While you were talking about that actual regulation, and to see how well and easy it is not to violate the regulation, I literally just typed into Google, ``flights to Philadelphia.'' And there is a flight leaving in 46 minutes. And the…
So what makes Mr. Price think that he is somehow above the law, that he is allowed to do this, considering that he knew, as a Member of Congress, that was not allowed and that somehow he can just take advantage of the situation now that he…
You and I have been Members of Congress since 2015. At any point in any of your flights to and from your work--I am sorry-- from here to your home, have you ever used a charter plane?
Is Donald Trump running a Cabinet or a country club? Because every day it is getting harder to tell. Not only is the President spending vast sums to ferry himself to and from his various golf courses, but now it turns out that top leaders…
President Trump's decision to end DACA was one of the most callous and cruel acts of his Presidency so far--and that is saying something. Mr. Speaker, ending the DACA program means betraying our Nation's promise to protect 800,000 young…
First of all, my experience with the Affordable Care Act actually comes from the State legislature, where, in a bipartisan manner, the Republican governor joined with the minority Democrats and a handful of Republicans in the Senate State…
If you want to hear some ideas--and I think it is important that instead of just us knocking what was introduced, we could also give some ideas--certainly, for me, and I think I am also speaking for Ted Lieu, we would prefer to have…
I like you, too, Ted. You are a good man. But the fact that we the American public knew so little, just knew enough, and said this bill is bad and were able to come out and put pressure on our Senators and our Members of Congress with…
Lastly, I will close with this. If you were one of those Members of Congress, if you are a Republican Senator or a Republican Member of Congress who voted to gut the Affordable Care Act, there is time. There is a way to come back from that…
Again, I thank Congressman Gallagher, Congressman Moulton, and all of the veterans who have sponsored this bill in remembrance of our brothers and sisters from the global war on terrorism. I would like to speak a couple more minutes just…
There is a really disturbing story in Politico today. Speaker Ryan was apparently afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass the defense spending bill, including $1.6 billion for Trump's dumb wall because conservatives wanted to block…
On June 7, 2016, at 5:16 p.m., Donald Trump, Jr., writes: ``How about 3 at our offices? Thanks, Rob, appreciate you helping set it up?''
On July 11, Donald Trump, Jr., released a series of emails regarding his meeting with a Russian Government lawyer and an individual associated with Russian intelligence. Don Trump, Jr.'s, emails are a smoking gun. They prove that the Trump…
If you start seeing and putting it all together, we now know that there is a clear narrative of Jared Kushner's involvements with the Russians. First, he tries to set up a back channel. Then he omits his conversations and meetings in a…
What is the motivation for omitting this meeting? There are clearly emails, there are clearly pointed emails, saying: Why are you going to be attending this meeting? There is a subject line that says, Clinton emails. There is a subject…
The other thing that we have to consider is this: right now, there is a person who is in the White House who has lied on their security clearance--a security clearance that we use to determine whether we shall trust somebody with this top…
On June 8, 2016, at 11:15, Donald Trump, Jr., writes: ``Yes, Rob, I could do that unless they wanted to do 3 today instead. Just let me know and I will lock it in either way.'' That is some eagerness that this man has for this information.
