Kamala Harris is unable to do any job. She was appointed border czar. Appointing Kamala Harris to oversee the border is like appointing Bernie Madoff off to oversee your retirement plan.

Under Biden-Harris, America has fallen sicker, lonelier, and poorer. Under Trump, we prospered, we were richer.

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

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 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 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…

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…

This amendment creates a prohibition on the transfer of cluster munitions. I thank my co-lead on this measure, Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, and many of the Members who have been fighting to get rid of cluster munitions as part of modern…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 549, after line 15, insert the following new section: SEC. 10_. PROHIBITION ON SALE OR TRANSFER OF…

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

Pro-life means being pro-IVF.

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

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.

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.

CalPERS reports only 5.8 percent for 2022-2023.

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.

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

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

I include in the Record part II of the interim report that I have prepared for the House of Representatives titled: ``Unwelcome in Niger.'' [From the Office of Congressman Matt Gaetz] Part II Interim Report--Unwelcome In Niger SUMMARY More…

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