The Public Record
Unfortunately, though, under this administration when we see an administration, a president of the United States, use Federal troops to literally walk over innocent protestors for a photo op in front of a church and to send Federal police…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Redesignate section 5 as section 6. After section 4, insert the following: SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION…

As a businessman, I know firsthand the power of small businesses as a driver of economic growth, not just for the owners but for the 60 million small business employees in the United States. While the underlying bill makes the playing…
The EPA's actions are a direct attack on the health and welfare of pregnant women, infants, and children.
We know the current MATS rules protect our most vulnerable: our children, our unborn, and our pregnant moms.
Instead of protecting children, the Trump administration is fulfilling an industry's list of desires in exchange for corrupt contributions.

By attempting to gut several regulations, including the MATS rule, the Trump administration is placing the most vulnerable among us in harm's way.

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I appreciate the opportunity to speak in strong support of the TRACED Act. The bipartisan provision I co-led with Representatives Clarke, Van Drew, Bilirakis, Foxx, and Walberg to address one-ring…
It is time to clean up the legacy of PFAS contamination, especially at our military bases.
the majority has called as their star witness an actor. That is right, an actor.
If we do not act now to protect the right to clean air and clean water, if we don't work to address the existential crisis of climate change, then all of our lives are at risk.
