We need a holistic look at military pay and compensation.

I think we all agree that we shouldn't have any servicemembers that qualify for SNAP.

The issue of sexual assault in the military remains dire, and the problem only seems to be getting worse.

We must continue to build on this and protect our servicemembers.

It is despicable for servicemembers and their families to be subject to deplorable housing conditions.

It is imperative that we prioritize their well-being and guarantee their optimal readiness.

What those cuts would mean for our servicemembers.

I think we all know this would have extremely detrimental effects on government programs that affect all Americans.

If the public loses its faith in Congress' ability to be a fair arbiter of oversight disputes, then what does Congress have ultimately?

Their move also clearly shows that when Republicans are in charge, they use the levers of power to weaponize government.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Florida will be postponed. Amendment No. 131 Offered by Mr. Schneider

I have an amendment at the desk. It is amendment No. 75. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Sessions). The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 9, strike the closing quotation mark and the final…

White supremacy and other extremist movements thrive in social media cases, in part because algorithms drive user engagement which promotes increasingly extreme content.

We have to address how social media fuels extremism. It can't function as an extremist recruitment tool.

This is shocking. I don't understand how this has not been treated with urgency.

I don't understand why the Department of Defense and military services have not used this opportunity... to ensure that we don't have predators who are supervising our young people in the JROTC program.

It's really troubling that so many bad actors appear to have slipped through the JROTC instructor vetting process.

That's not vetting. You do realize that an attestation is not vetting, right?

So, I would think it should be at the top of the short list.

The Defense Department needs to, quote, 'take a hard look at our current background investigation process for JROTC instructors.'

In Florida, a JROTC instructor was charged with sexual battery after driving one of his students home.

The military-certified instructors who oversee these impressionable young people deployed to classrooms with very little oversight or training.

No one should be able to take that freedom away.

Republicans know that abortion restrictions are a losing issue.

There are no right reasons or wrong reasons to have an abortion.
