President Trump, you'll never defund our police, but he will defund foreign aid to countries that hate us.

Oh, the swamp draining will recommence soon and I will be President Trump's strongest ally in Congress to pass term limits, to stop taxpayer funding for political campaigns, to ban members of Congress for life from becoming lobbyists.

Donald Trump is unstoppable. Elect him president again, and America will be unstoppable, too.

Well, thank goodness for the good prosecutors in New York who have unlocked the greatest potential for campaign fraud in the history of the campaign finance system.

So, in the prosecution to preserve our democracy, we have now green light potentially the most expansive abuses of campaign funds ever.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will be postponed. Amendment No. 41 Offered by Mr. Grothman The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I have great appreciation for the bipartisan consensus around this. I really miss when the Democratic Party was the anti-war party. Now, we are going to see probably on this vote a majority of Democrats vote for cluster munitions that are…

I sure hope we don't have to rely on cluster munitions to deter submarines off the coast of Florida. Not being a munitions expert, I would suggest that probably wouldn't be too effective because I think the submarines are in the water. Mr…

I would object to the proposition that the House of Representatives has to outsource our thinking on the cluster munitions question to Ukraine. When did we substitute their judgment for ours? I think that this notion that they are…

I simply observe that North Koreans have nuclear weapons. If we are relying on cluster munitions as the deterrent, it seems to be pretty nonsensical. I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Jacobs), the…

Pro-life means being pro-IVF.

The Republican House majority has never subpoenaed Hunter Biden for live testimony in public.

I guess, Mr. Roy, would be a lot like going to the Salt Lick BBQ and not getting the moist brisket.

We are here at the hearing on the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the essential ingredient we seem to be missing is the Manhattan District Attorney.

CalPERS reports only 5.8 percent for 2022-2023.

So, Mr. Chair, let's look at the scorecard. In the State of Florida, where we aren't pushing ESG and DEI, the Florida retirement system is netting a 7.5-percent notch for the fiscal year.

You accused a Department of Justice official of an extortionist ploy to dangle a judgeship.

The only way to have a check and a balance on that system is for the Congress to step forward and utilize its tools, the most profound being the power of the purse.

Understand that to destroy a political rival, you need not convict that person of a crime.

That accusation could not withstand any scrutiny or review from the Southern District of New York.

When Philadelphia was coined the City of Brotherly Love, I don't think Cain and Abel were the brothers they were referring to.

Not every criticism of George Soros is antisemitic. The criticisms deal with public policy and the matters of rising crime with DAs.

I am seeking to enter into the record the 2023 Pew Report that indicated that major crimes were at a 20-year high.

I think in an election year, right now, it probably doesn't portend too well.

Pro-life means being pro-IVF.
