I support Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism, and I would say the same for any other country.

I ask my colleagues across the aisle if they have the bravery to show that they are not beholden to Big Oil's bidding and will stand up for consumers and taxpayers to lower costs? This vote will show where your allegiance is.

Our country needs energy to flourish, and Democrats know that this means authorizing energy projects. If we are going to authorize energy projects, then we need to require any energy developer, including Big Oil, to fully cover the cost of…

Congress has been told time and time and time again that the Leahy laws apply to everyone, to every country, and on paper they do.

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. 6009 to the Committee on Natural Resources…

Israel should be treated like any other country, but is it?

Both parties have let us down on fighting influence peddling and tackling corruption.

The impeachment inquiry is dead. If it was on life support, my colleague Ocasio-Cortez just killed it.

In a time when books and libraries are under attack, I rise to celebrate National Library Week which begins April 7. Libraries bring people together and foster growth and collaboration in our communities. From story time and summer lunches…

This is the kind of good government reform that Americans of all political stripes support, and I should know.

The American people, regardless of party, should know that an investigation was conducted into whether Joe Biden did anything wrong.

I think executive action is really important. It's the only way that we've been able to make any progress at addressing immigration at all.

I'm really heartened that President Biden is going to the border. Of course, we would love to have him come visit the border here in California.

This is absolutely an election issue. Look, reproductive freedom is an issue about people being able to choose when and if to start a family.

That's the big challenge we face is housing affordability. Washington needs to focus on it. It's California's biggest problem.

Well, I think what a horrible tragedy like this happens, I think whenever were dealing with violent crime, there is a sense of outrage, of sadness and loss. But I think the important thing to focus on is any one instance shouldn't shape…
