So the message that Donald Trump is sending here is that if you're a flag officer and you're doing what you think is right and constitutional, that's not good enough. You do what I tell you to do.

But with the exception of Don Bacon, pretty much every other Republican member of the house and almost every Republican member of the Senate is a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump.

No, never has a history -- in our 250-year history. Has a president said, stop all foreign aid, stop all spending?

I bet he wasn't elected to make people hungry, to make them homeless, and to make sure that they couldn't heat their houses in the winter.

Congress has the power of the purse. And no, the president doesn't have the right to say, sorry, Congress, even though you appropriated it, I'm not going to spend it.

I thank the gentleman from Illinois for his words. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Vermont (Ms. Balint), my fellow New Englander.

I thank the gentleman from California for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Jackson).

I thank the gentleman from Virginia for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Costa).

I'm concerned about the United States going down a path of banning apps and limiting American's access to content.

Yeah, yeah. No. And sadly, there are examples. There have been you'll -- you'll recall a number of years ago, there are examples of military members, you know, breaking the law, doing horrible things. You know, very sadly, as we approach…

And I asked probably in 12 different ways, is any of this federal government operations? You know, there's a lot of rumor out there that this is radiation sniffing or chemical sniffing. This is not a federal government operation.

President is secure. He must not risk that legacy, urging him to step aside.

It's because of those traits and in consideration of that legacy that I hope President Biden will step away from the presidential campaign.

So, yes, of course, it's a danger. It's a danger that my Republican friends like to play up, even though in 30 years there has not been a single terrorist fatality engineered by an undocumented alien.

But yeah, there's lots of Ukrainians dying because China and India in particular, but other countries are purchasing Russian energy.

No, he's not. He's far weaker than he seems. And sadly, I think to some extent the American media is complicit in this.

Well, it signals desperation, frankly. I mean, if Vladimir Putin who believes that he runs the inheritor of the Russian Empire, of the Soviets, is forced to go hat in hand to a country where the GDP per capita is $1,000 per person per…

Well, it's certainly true. I mean, people are using a lot of bombastic language.

I want to go on record as supporting a female as the next Chair of the Board. I think it is time to do that.

I thank the gentlewoman from Texas and the gentleman from Virginia. I support this amendment and will be recommending a ``yes'' vote on this amendment to the minority caucus. I surprised the gentleman from Virginia in asking for a minute…

Freedom of expression really matters.

The only question is how is it that he avoided falling out of a seven-story window?

The man's a murderer. The man is a gangster. The man has violated every tenet of international law and the United Nations charter.

I'm less concerned now. And the reason I'm less concerned is that first of all, I think I think collectively the government believes that he would not use nuclear weapons unless he thought that his own survival, his own personal survival…

If that's the standard, let's just accept that as a standard, then I want to hear Senator Lee to apply precisely the same standard to Donald Trump, who famously said that Viktor Orban was the fabulous leader of Turkey.
