The threat is very real. And one of the distinctions of this particular era that we`re living in that I find so disturbing is the normalization of political violence.

It`s just as vitriolic as it was before.

He chose to choose ultimately rather a country over party and put country over party during the course of that impeachment trial and refuse to capitulate to President Trump.

I think, as you said, as a policy matter, Democrats believe in good government. We believe in ethics and government. And that means independent, nonpartisan redistricting, which is you know, Chris, is wildly popular on a bipartisan basis…

I hope that the Congress will get the message in doing the same in Washington.

Politicians shouldn`t be in charge of drawing district lines. That job should ultimately be one handled by a nonpartisan commission like the one in Colorado.

While I would relish the opportunity to respond to the points made by my colleague, we have a lot of enthusiasm on our side to speak in support of this rule. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms…

I must say with great respect for my colleague from Minnesota, I think the Republican minority leader of the United States Senate, Mitch McConnell, would disagree with the gentlewoman's characterization of the bipartisan infrastructure…

Earlier today, the Rules Committee met and reported a rule, House Resolution 601, providing for consideration of three measures. First, the rule provides for consideration of H.R. 4 under a closed rule. The rule provides 1 hour of debate…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 601 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 601 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

My colleague from California is certainly right about one thing, the Build Back Better plan would raise taxes on billionaires. The tax cuts that ultimately were approved by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle several years ago for…

You know what is interesting? I don't remember the ranking member complaining about the deficit 3 years ago when they passed tax cuts for billionaires across our country to the tune of $2 trillion in terms of adding it to the deficit. I…

the time for inaction is over, and that it’s time for folks to put politics aside and to take decisive action to stop the climate crisis.

we’re going to work to make sure that the reconciliation bill, which as I said, includes incredible investments in the fight against climate change, like a climate conservation corps, get across the finish line and get to the president’s…

the reality, as I said, is that climate change is here today and anyone who lives in the Rocky Mountain West here in my state of Colorado knows that to be true, given the visceral impacts of climate change that we’re experiencing every day.

This is an outrage. Connecticut is exercising its sovereign police powers against the Sacklers.

Connecticut sued Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers. Now, importantly, we focused on the Sacklers for their direct participation in helping to cause the addiction crisis.

The Sacklers personally have no basis to seek the protections of the bankruptcy court.

I, again, thank the gentlewoman from California, and I certainly could not have said it any better, because we were proud to take the steps that were necessary to help constituents across the country. The problems, the challenges that we…

I thank the distinguished gentleman from California. If the distinguished gentleman from California might be willing to engage in a brief colloquy with me, I would be interested in yielding to him. I was fully aware that the House…

Wednesday, tomorrow, marks 200 days of this Congress and 200 days of House Democrats delivering for the people. Together, with President Biden we have created millions of jobs since he took office at a faster pace than any President in…

Well, Mr. Lieu, I couldn't agree with you more. And you make a very interesting and salient point, because as we reflect on the 200 days with House Democrats leading the charge here in the Congress, pushing to get money in pockets and…

It is funny that you ask that question, Mr. Lieu, because not a single Republican, not one, voted for the child tax credit; no laughing matter, as it were.

I agree with Liz Cheney. Clearly, Minority Leader McCarthy has probative evidence to share with the committee.

We have proposed a similar plan, a Civilian Climate Corps proposal for $10 billion of investment to do reforestation and other important critical work on our public lands.
