We need to do something about Southwest's scheduling system that is straight out of the 1990s.

My Choices for Stranded Travelers Act would require airlines with controllable, significant delays and cancellations to get their passengers faster, alternative transportation or, if the passenger chooses, they can still get that full cash…

Let's advance my Flightmare Prevention Act because we need to do something about Southwest's scheduling system that is straight out of the 1990s.

We should all want better for airline passengers, whether that is somebody making a trip across the country for a funeral or to pitch a new business.

Look, corporate America needs to be held accountable for putting children in danger to boost their profits.

We do not even have the agencies that are responsible for enforcing child labor laws.

I am requesting that my bill, Stop Airplane Seat Shrinking Act, be included in the final FAA Reauthorization package.

I really appreciate that. And one of the things--when I was Subcommittee Chair of Oversight and Investigations last Congress, we had a hearing on disability access in the national parks.

What else does the National Park Service need from Congress to make all national parks accessible to every visitor?

The Great American Outdoors Act was both a necessary investment and an incredible bipartisan achievement.

I do not for one second buy the lie that Republicans on this Committee and Congress give a damn about actually fixing the problem.

With the flightmares that people endure, we can't let a good reauthorization go to waste. Let's get this right, Democrat or Republican.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5- minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute vote on: Passage of the bill, if…

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Porter of California moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1 to the Committee on Natural Resources…

Back in 2017, I took a public stand against Wall Street and its efforts to roll back the financial regulations put in place after the 2008 financial crisis. I opposed S. 2155, a deregulatory bill that ultimately passed into law. Then, in…

Our country needs energy to flourish. Democrats know that means authorizing energy projects. The law requires corporations to engage with communities, follow our bedrock environmental principles, and ultimately advance projects that offer…
