I am grateful. The majority has taken regulation, a subject on which there is a basis for areas of consensus, and has polarized it. They have broken their promises on jobs--look, no jobs bill--and on reducing Federal power by trying to literally usurp power from a local jurisdiction and dictate to that local jurisdiction from the Federal Government what it should be doing.
The speaker addresses the majority's failure to deliver on job creation and overreach of federal power.

I will use every tool at my disposal to stop these riders from becoming law, and I commit to reminding my fellow lawmakers across the aisle that D.C. residents deserve the same consideration as their own constituents at every opportunity.
I am outraged at the number and scope of anti-D.C. home rule riders in the bill released today.
D.C.'s local courts have faced chronic judicial vacancies for far too long, delaying justice for residents and placing an unnecessary strain on the administration of our local court system.
