Many of us have love-hate relationships with the news media and with various reporters, but today I wanted to rise and express my condolences for a reporter in Los Angeles whom we mostly had a love relationship with and very little hate…

Thank you, Mr. Garamendi, for having the leadership, certainly, on Make It In America, but really reminding our colleagues and all Americans how important these projects are in terms of repairing our infrastructure, as well as creating…

In World War II, more than 200,000 brave Americans answered the call of duty by joining the merchant marine, braving troubled seas to deliver crucial supplies to the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific. They faced enemy attack…

Amendment I: ``Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to…

I am rising in solidarity today with millions of American working families who are deeply concerned about the impact that harmful trade deals have on our Nation. I am proud to join with my colleagues in the Progressive Caucus in explaining…

Thank you. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to speak today about a friend and predecessor who served some of the same communities that I now represent. Today, we are voting on a piece of legislation that will recognize the life and legacy of the…

Today the House will vote on the bipartisan Howard Coble Coast Guard & Maritime Transportation Act of 2014. This bill is a great step for our nation's Coast Guard and federal maritime transportation. Under the constraints of limited…

Across the country, many people will begin their holiday shopping just after Thanksgiving on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But Small Business Saturday, November 29, gives us an opportunity to celebrate and support the locally owned shops…

Again, I think it is important to remember what our health care system was like before Congress passed the Affordable Care Act.

For years, small businesses in every sector have struggled with the rising cost of health care.

In 2010, Congress made history with the passage of the Affordable Care Act. And while this law is not perfect, it has benefitted families across the country.

Families no longer find themselves at the mercy of insurance companies. People with preexisting conditions can no longer be denied coverage.

I do not think any of us can foretell what is going to happen to us, but we know a lot of people were wiped out financially in this country.

The Affordable Care Act has not just helped families; it has helped small businesses also.

About 5 months ago, we were shocked and disturbed by the news that 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped from their beds in Nigeria by the militant terrorist group Boko Haram. The #bringbackourgirls raised awareness around the world of the plight…

if it had not been for Food for Peace bringing that emergency money and agriculture in, many more lives would have been lost.

I want to point out that there is a thought process out there that asserts we would do better to give our money, our foreign aid, directly to the country and help support their agriculture and their farmers.

The news that the White House will not take action this summer on immigration reform came as a huge disappointment, not just to me, but to millions across this country. Our broken immigration system hurts millions of families, and every…

Where are the women? Oh, they are all here.

I also ask unanimous consent to bring up H.R. 377, the Paycheck Fairness Act, to jump-start our middle class, instead of this partisan lawsuit attacking our President. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair understands that the gentleman from…

While the House Republicans are busy wasting taxpayer dollars on conspiracy theories and a lawsuit to nowhere, Democrats have unveiled an agenda to put working families and the middle class first. For millions of Americans struggling to…

Woman, I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 10, line 5, strike ``and the'' and insert ``the most recent national average cohort default rate, and…

Woman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I am proud to support the legislation that we are considering today, and I applaud my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for coming together to work on this important bill. As we have…

Far too many of our young girls have fallen victim to modern day slavery. Last fall, I witnessed human trafficking firsthand during a visit to Costa Rica with my colleague from Texas, Ted Poe. The stories we heard were heartwrenching…

Sadly, 3 months ago this week, 300 girls were abducted in the middle of the night from their beds in a school in rural Nigeria. As time passes, we cannot allow ourselves to forget these girls. Kummai, Kwanta--these girls are our daughters…
