I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina for her remarks, and I yield to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Auchincloss).

I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for his words. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Trone).

Republicans won't release that testimony, and they are not being honest with the American people, because, as they ramp up their own misinformation campaign before the 2024 election, they need free rein to elevate hate, to engage in voter…

There's no evidence of this collusion. In fact, this Committee has heard closed-door testimony from 29 witnesses who have said on the record--government as well as social media individuals--that the alleged collusion and supposed…

We're not having discussions. Congress is not engaged in making any headway on those things that Americans are most concerned with.

Terrorists use the platforms to terrorize target populations, and Hamas even used the personal accounts of hostages and victims to live stream their brutality.

Since the October 7th attack, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate speech has exploded online.

If a Homeland Security official echoed your opinion, you would call it censorship.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I rise in strong opposition to this spending bill. In it, House Republicans have reduced funding to the NIH and the National Cancer Institute and virtually eliminated funding for medical and…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his longstanding support of this important legislation that really reflects the values that we stand for here in the United States of America. I particularly thank the gentleman from California…

Two years ago, thousands of Cubans peacefully demonstrated for their basic rights, and their corrupt rulers responded with a brutal, indiscriminate crackdown. Maykel Castillo Perez and Luis Manuel Otero Alcantara both helped forge the…

The VOICE Act expresses the consensus view that Venezuelans deserve support in their efforts to advance democracy.

Venezuela has suffered a lost decade under the dictatorial rule of Nicolas Maduro.

So, I ask you to join me in support of the VOICE Act, Mr. Chairman and the AFFECT Human Rights in Venezuela Act so we can put an end to Venezuela's current State of criminality and corruption and initiate a new era of prosperity…

Because of our complete and warranted distrust of the Maduro regime, I foresaw this outcome when I introduced the VOICE Act with Congresswoman Salazar.

I urge my colleagues to join me in support of the AFFECT Human Rights in Venezuela Act and the VOICE Act.

I stand here as a proud member of the Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies for many years. I unfortunately rise in opposition to this harmful bill. Let's start with the two most obvious problems. It raises…

My amendment gives my Republican colleagues a chance to reconsider some of the cruel and reckless partisan riders tacked onto this atrocity of a Homeland Security bill. Republicans are really done, obviously, pretending that they just want…

I will give a couple of examples of the type of torture that the language in this bill supports and endorses. One provision, section 404, prohibits funds for asylum officers to adjudicate fear claims, which is the point of our asylum…
