We really toned down the trash talk against the press team this year because the press is under enough stress.

Data centers cannot come at a cost to neighbors who are already facing high grocery, gas, utility, health care and housing costs.

It’s a unanimous bill on something that is the front burner for everybody across the country right now, and they bury it.

There may be some things to codify that are contained in that settlement, so it doesn’t just apply to Meta, it applies to all platforms.

Tampa International Airport deserves world-class security, rooted in experience and dedication, not instability and uncertainty.

Their sense of duty, pride and belonging cannot be replicated by a private entity.

I have heard directly from TPA TSOs [transportation security officers] who have expressed their deep concern and opposition to privatization.

My neighbors across Florida are grappling with skyrocketing electric bills. Ratepayers should not have to subsidize wealthy corporations’ growing energy demands, especially from AI datacenters.

Our neighbors are suffering an affordability crisis. They want policymakers in Washington, D.C., to help solve problems and bring down the cost of living. Every time the President and congressional Republicans deny that this is happening…

Let's talk about how Republicans in Congress are making it worse, harder for families to afford the cost of living, especially when it comes to their electric bills. Their big, ugly bill, which was passed in July, already is projected to…

It's wrong and fiscally unwise—and will set children back at a time that they need support.

You started this by saying that Gulf of America started as a joke. This is not a joke to the people I represent. They want help. They want help with the cost of living. It seems like that is the last priority on Republicans' list. Instead…

This is a real cry for help, and we need Republicans and Congress focused on Americans' pocketbooks, not trying to distract from the massive tax giveaway to billionaires and special interests. Mr. Pallone is absolutely right. They are out…

They are going to score this for voting records. The majority has to do something and stand up for their Article I constitutional duty and say: We are going to protect Medicaid; We are not going to listen to billionaires; We are going to…

I thank Representative Obernolte for his very thoughtful legislation, along with Representative DelBene. I urge a ``yes'' vote on H.R. 6020, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank Representative Boyle again for his leadership and advocacy. I urge a ``yes'' vote on H.R. 4534, the Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2024, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I encourage all of my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 7224, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I urge all of my colleagues to support H.R. 7213, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I was about to answer the question on everyone's mind: Why would anyone oppose putting money back into the pockets of hardworking American families? It is because the GOP is so aligned with oil and gas companies that they want you to use…

I regret that many of the conspiracies have smeared you, Dr. Fauci, as you and our top scientists did everything to keep Americans safe during the deadly days of COVID-19.

America's adversaries, like China, Russia, and Iran, love it when Americans are divided and distracted.

This Committee should be doing more to fight for those answers but, instead, has wasted significant time and taxpayer money fueling conspiracy theories and ignoring the importance of preparing for the next deadly pandemic.

Instead, they doubled down on ideological partisanship and refused to work together on bipartisan solutions.
