Clearly, the president, the former president was impeached for inciting the attack on the Capitol, but the subtext was always this conspiracy to ultimately subvert the peaceful transfer of power.

I was on the floor of the House from 8:00 p.m. until 4:00 a.m. until we certified the election results.

The reported words that the Vice President uttered in that entire episode are some of the most chilling that I`ve seen in terms of what happened on January 6.

We had spent weeks preparing rebuttals to the objections that we knew we’d be made on January 6.

if, in fact, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who believe that a Federal abortion ban should be enacted at the Federal level ultimately gain power of the Federal government, then that, of course, would be potentially a ban…

We cannot let that happen. Instead, Congress must Act to ensure that every woman, regardless of geographic location, income, race, or any other fact, retains her constitutional right to access abortion.

Ladies and gentlemen, at base, safe, legal, and accessible abortion continues to be fundamental to individual equality, autonomy, and personal liberty.

Women must have the freedom to make decisions about their reproductive health without anyone questioning their intellect, morals, or honesty.

That freedom is really at the core issue of what we are discussing today.

I represent the State of Colorado. In Colorado, we have codified via State statute the right, the freedom to be able to make these healthcare decisions.

Many Republicans, including Senator McConnell, have left the door open to a potential Federal ban on abortion.

To make this a partisan issue, to blame one party or another, does a disservice to the United States.

I think what we hope to accomplish, generally--certainly, my perspective--is not to take from the rich to give to the poor, but to stop the rich from taking the productivity gains from everyday Americans.

I thank you, Chair Cicilline, for your continued leadership with respect to making sure that we can right-size our economy, free market economy, well-regulated, but one that works for everyday Americans, not against them.

Thank you for extending me and my community that courtesy.

the mandatory reporting legislation is really a game-changer for us.

I think our message is simply, there is consensus around the basic fundamental principles that members of Congress should be serving their stock portfolios, they should be serving that people.

I think it`s going to take a multi-pronged approach. Some of it clearly is going to be gun violence prevention legislation along the lines of what I`ve talked about.

I couldn`t agree with you more. Obviously, no one can make a cogent argument in opposition to that regulation. It is a basic common sense step that we ought to take.

At the end of the day, while there are other steps I think the administration can take, there are limits under -- you know, in terms of the President`s executive authority, and fundamentally, Congress has to step up and begin legislating…

I`m grateful that the President took the important steps that he announced today with respect to the regulation on ghost guns, the finalization of that rule, and then, of course, the announcement regarding a permanent director for ATF…

90 percent of the American public support expanded background checks. That includes a lot of gun owners. It includes a lot of Republicans.

the most important thing we can do, I think, is give our regulatory and enforcement agencies, the ATF, the Department of Justice, local prosecutors the tools that they need to combat gun trafficking in our communities and enhance the…

A 2018 report from the ACEEE found that energy efficiency alone can cut energy use in greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2050.

I wish they would have translated that newfound passion for energy efficiency into legislative action.
