This is not about Secretary Mayorkas. This is straight-up sabotage. MAGA Republicans have never accepted President Biden as the President, from the day they led an insurrection into this Chamber to this day, where they are trying to sabotage solutions at the border. Any shortcomings with Mayorkas are the Republicans' fault. The Republicans won't give him the authority that he needs to carry out more security at the border. All we have heard for years is noun, verb, border. You get your border deal, led by the second most conservative in the Senate, and you are walking away from it. You are walking away from it because Trump says you can't have it. This place with you all in charge is looking less and less like the House Chamber and more and more like Trump's echo chamber. What we need right now are solutions, not chaos. With you all in charge, you are a party of followers. With President Biden's leadership, Democrats continue to show that we are a party of leaders. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair. ____________________

For Democrats, I think the message we have to convey is Republicans. They're going to fight for the rich. We're for the rest.

Well, they should understand, my colleagues, that people are scared. They're pissed off. They don't want us to be nice. They want us to use the leverage that we have.

We aren’t delayed because moderates whose constituents will be completely screwed are holding out.
