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…

the bill also says it would gut the ability of manufacturers, consumer groups, and others to arrive at consensus. Most of what happens when the Department of Energy goes to update energy efficiency standards is that everyone gets together…

Energy efficiency standards for mobile homes haven't been updated in decades, allowing leaky walls to sap budgets. They profile an older woman, a retiree on a fixed income in St. Petersburg, who lives in a 960-square-foot manufactured…

On behalf of the over half a million hardworking neighbors back home and across the Tampa Bay area, I rise in strong support of the extension of the lifesaving and cost-saving ACA tax credits. Families are being crushed by inflation and…

I think you get my drift here. It was so galling as people are trying to pay their electric bills and their grocery bills that the President here is bragging about how he has redone the Lincoln bathroom, yes, with gold showerheads. We…

I rise to oppose this Republican charade and to stand up for my neighbors back home who deserve quality and affordable health coverage. That includes over half a million of my hardworking neighbors across the Tampa Bay area. Mr. Speaker…

Mr. Speaker, I simply must call out some of the hypocrisy coming from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. We have watched over the past few months as electricity costs for hardworking Americans have gone up. People are asking why…

Mr. Speaker, this is a really tough time for the folks we represent back home. It is made worse by Trump's unfolding energy crisis. It is an affordability crisis. Looking ahead, looking in the years ahead, I think my colleagues had a…

They say this bill is inconsistent with the President's pledge to put America first, and it prioritizes gas exports over U.S. consumers by removing longstanding consumer protections. They urge everyone to oppose this bill and preserve…

Plus, it is hypocritical for Republicans to condemn Chinese forced labor, subsidies, and intellectual property theft on the one hand and then allow massive amounts of U.S. resources to flow to Chinese factories on the other hand. These are…

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…

Mr. Speaker, this is a dirty, pro-polluter resolution, so I rise in strong opposition to S.J. Res. 31. It is going to increase hazardous air pollution across America. It is going to expose more Americans to cancer-causing toxins. What is…

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

I thank the ranking member for yielding the time, and I rise in opposition to this farcical bill. I thought I would share what I am hearing from my neighbors across the Gulf Coast. They want policymakers in Washington, D.C., to tackle the…

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…

I thank Mrs. Dingell for yielding the time, and I thank Chairman Bilirakis for moving the bill forward to the floor today. I rise in strong support of H.R. 906, the Foreign Adversary Communications Transparency Act. This bill would require…

I thank Mr. Pallone for yielding the time, and I thank Chairman Bilirakis for his partnership in this endeavor, as well. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1479, the Hotel Fees Transparency Act, to help families save money and…

I thank the gentleman for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this Republican bill that requires businessowners to spend more money and use more energy. Mr. Speaker, here we are at the end of March. It is the 83rd day since…

I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for yielding the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.J. Res. 75, a bill to force small business owners to use more energy and spend more money. Here we are at the end of March, and Republicans…

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…

I thank the ranking member for yielding the time. Mr. Speaker, here we are at the end of February, 2 months into the new congressional session, and House Republicans haven't offered one bill to lower the cost of living for our neighbors…
