Just because Congress hasn't used this power in a while doesn't mean we don't have the power of inherit contempt.

Just because we believe we have a good President doesn't mean that we won't have future Presidents that won't do exactly what the former President did and run roughshod over the Constitution and Congress and the American people.

This practice is offensive and disrespectful.

I want you to consider eliminating the practice in its entirety.

The Republicans cannot stop the full truth from coming out. So, the speaker is either going to have a select committee or empower the standing congressional committees to look at January 6th to find out exactly what happened before January…

We are watching the radicalization of the Republican Party in real-time, and specifically on Mike Pence. I just have to say that for most normal people, if one I worked colleagues incited a bunch of people to try and kill me, I wouldn`t…

It`s ridiculous that it takes over two years to get a witness in to testify, which shows we had to reform the congressional subpoena process.

I introduced legislation that would allow the House to execute our power of inherent contempt, which is that we can fine witnesses up to $100,000 for disobeying congressional subpoenas.

I don`t know why people don`t want to find out the truth about January 6th. It is something that all Americans should care about because we need to make sure something like this never happens again.

Thank you, Chairman Johnson and Ranking Member Issa, for holding this important hearing.

We are grateful to Chair Jackson Lee and Congresswoman DeLauro for their leadership on this issue.

Congress should prioritize Congresswoman McBath's H.R. 2377 to create an extreme risk process in the federal courts.

Several bills introduced this year would also address ghost guns including H.R. 3088 introduced by Congressman Cicilline.

Gun safety is police safety.

This Congress has the chance to right this wrong and should repeat PLCAA by passing legislation like H.R. 2814 from Congressman Schiff.

Had extreme risk-protection orders been in place before the Parkland shooting, it is likely that shooting never would have happened.

It was their final most essential command. And now you see multiple members of the Republican Party, essentially distorting reality and simply trying to have people forget what happened on January 6.

Dear Representative Clyde, is that you in the picture? Do you remember insurrectionists we`re trying to stop the election certification. This was not as you now say a normal tourist visit. 140 police officers were injured, some severely…

I think we need to question what that partnership has gotten us in the region to begin with.

We can`t have a functioning democracy if people don`t believe in the results of the vote. That is probably the most central part of our democracy.

I am thrilled that the United States Space Command has chosen to locate Space Systems Command, one of three major commands under the Space Force, at Los Angeles Air Force Base.

I am working on legislation that would, in fact, designate space as an infrastructure sector.

I cannot support your National Unity Government and I will oppose efforts for the United States to support the National Unity Government until you commit to having at least a representative from the Rohingya people.

So let me--let me just tell you the problem there.

the military coup is unacceptable, and I would hope that the military would stop killing people and we need to reverse the coup.
