It is not for a lack of money, and you point out correctly that we spend more money than all of our adversaries.

Yesterday, thousands marched in every city across America for racial justice, gender equality, and a moral vision of America. Today, we let them down. It was not complicated what citizens wanted. They wanted a vote, a guaranteed vote in…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from California will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. O'Halleran The Acting CHAIR. It…

I think the point is not that we need to streamline decisions, or if we have to streamline courts to get rid of frivolous lawsuits, that would be fine, but the problem is the power that is being vested in the Secretary of Agriculture…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 27, beginning line 19, strike subtitle B. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 595, the…

I thank Congressman Garamendi for his leadership and showing what is really happening with the scale-back of all these regulations.

You would think we would want a democracy where every citizen has equal access to these tools. Well, who doesn't want that? Some of these big companies that have concentrated economic power and have an interest in making money and not for…

I have. I appreciate the Congressman's leadership on this. Net neutrality, as the gentleman knows, is a very simple idea. That means that everyone should have equal access to the internet; that you shouldn't get to pay for faster service…
