Let's be clear. The longest shutdown in our history is not about border security. Both Democrats and Republicans agree we need strong border security; we need new technology; we need stronger ports of entry; and we need more personnel. But…

I thank Chairman Engel for helping to shepherd this legislation through the committee last year and for bringing it to the floor so quickly this year. I thank the ranking member, I thank my fellow co-chairs of the Anti-Semitism Task Force…

The new Democratic majority in this House will not limit its response to mass shootings to just thoughts and prayers. We will listen to gun violence survivors, not gun company lobbyists. We finally will respond to the demands of more than…

if you are a dictator or a despot or a brutal regime anywhere in the world that violates human rights and supports terror, that for these past decades now... there is no one more committed to standing up for American values and American…

The President has been clear that we are prepared to remain in Syria until the enduring defeat of ISIS, and we remain focused on ensuring withdrawal of Iranian forces and their proxies.

give the Syrian people the peace that they deserve, the democracy that they deserve, the freedom that they deserve without Assad.

Syria is too important, and we have got to use every tool at our disposal to achieve an enduring defeat of ISIS.

The gentlewoman's contributions to the strengthening of the U.S.-Israel relationship will take their place in this body's history because there has been no greater champion than Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. It has been an honor to work with her on…

It is my great honor to rise in support of the Ileana Ros-Lehtinen U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018. {time} 1730 I am proud to have worked on this critical security bill with my colleague and friend, Congresswoman…

Alex Jones obviously is one of the conspiracy theorists whose brand is bullying.

I want to know how you're dealing with all these conspiracy theorists on your platform.
