Yes. Joy, sometimes the strongest leaders is the silent leader. And what Donald Trump could have done from the beginning of the COVID outbreak was still have all the White House briefings, the task force briefings, but let the public…

This is a president who is dangerous on matters of national security.

What I would say to my Democratic friends, though, and I don't want to be a skunk at the party but I mean this with conviction, if you're angry about what you're seeing at the RNC this week, don't get angry, get busy.

I think one thing we've learned during Trump years and during these three days of the convention is that white Republican leaders can't talk about racial justice, they can't talk about racism, and they have trouble condemning it.

I think the broader question around all of this with the post office is whether or not Donald Trump is trying to steal this election in plain sight.

Donald Trump cannot win this election if it comes down to how the pandemic was handled, so they have to ignore the reality and create a separate reality. Donald Trump is a populist, and populism can be a very dangerous tool in the midst of…

we have witnessed, quote, 'an impeachable moment.'

I thank my colleague, Ms. Graham. We are down to 4 or 5 minutes. We have two more speakers remaining. I yield to the gentleman from Pinellas County, Florida (Mr. Bilirakis).

I appreciate the opportunity tonight to come to the floor of the House together with a bipartisan group of legislators from the State of Florida to talk about the importance of urgent action on the Zika virus. Perhaps no story has…

My appreciation to Congressman Curbelo. Carlos raises an interesting insight, which is part of getting to the bottom of this early on, that, as stewards of taxpayer dollars, what is the money to be used for? Those questions initially are…

I thank my colleague, Mr. Deutch. That is the urgency. My colleague, Mr. Deutch, mentioned his family, and birthday wishes are in order. Congratulations. My wife and I just got married last year, and we are hoping to have a family…

In the wake of continued terror around the globe and here at home, the American people are rightfully asking what solutions exist within the Halls of Congress, and they are rightfully asking questions about national security and, yes…

It's wrong. Let's reflect the unity of the American people.

Since the tragedy the Nation witnessed in Orlando about 10 days ago--a tragedy that struck at the heart of the American people, that struck at the heart of the LGBT community--we have a Nation that feels less secure, a Nation looking to…

If it's not my bill, that's fine. Let's bring up other options. Let the Congress work its will on behalf of the American people.

I thank my colleague from Texas, and I thank the chairman for a very good bill that I intend to support. This is a strong bill. The chairman has done great work. But I do want to rise in support of the effort of my colleague from Texas. We…

I rise this morning to recognize a group of remarkable young people from Pinellas County, Florida, who have excelled among their peers and answered the call to duty to serve their fellow Americans. These young men and women have tested and…

In closing, I urge my colleagues to support this very important amendment. Do the right thing for the very least among us--those children on the island who are facing significant challenges of poverty--so that we, as a body, might respond…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 114, line 11, insert ``, reduce child poverty,'' before ``and attract''. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to…

Section 409 of this very important legislation creates a congressional task force on economic growth in Puerto Rico. The intent of the task force is to study barriers to economic growth, report back to Congress on changes in Federal law…

I thank the sheriff. I want to associate myself--I know we all do--with our colleague Mr. Gowdy's remarks. This is personal for so many. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of Pinellas County, Florida, the people in the State…

I rise this afternoon to talk about an issue that I started bringing up about 5 or 6 weeks ago and that I intend to talk about every week until we finally force action in this Chamber. For over 20 years, I have had the opportunity to study…

I am sick and tired in this town, and across the country, with people not siding with law enforcement.

I think Apple leadership risks having blood on their hands.

I do not think we need to bring politics into science.
