Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. We have just witnessed, once again, that the other side of the aisle has zero--zero--interest in governing. Zero. Republicans apparently have no interest in leading and zero--no agenda on how to lead. Zero. Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to make sure that the programs that our constituents depend on will be able to continue. Democrats are trying to make sure that our troops--you know, the ones that you claim to support--have the resources to defend our country, to defend the Constitution that you have sworn to defend. Democrats are trying to make sure that our hospitals and our health clinics have the resources to help those who are sick with COVID. You can boo all you want, but many of you have continued to spread this pandemic by refusing to wear a mask. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair.
