I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him for hosting this Special Order hour on behalf of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus under the leadership of Chairman Steve Horsford. Tonight, we are here to talk about a plague…
I thank my friend from California. Those are some very important insights from the West Coast. We pray that America does not make those same decisions in the other States. I am grateful for principled leadership out of California here in…
Unfortunately, this hearing is nothing more than a distraction from the fact that my MAGA friends cannot agree on the problem or the solution.
For years we have listened to MAGA Republicans decry a so-called invasion at our southern border.
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H. Res. 12, the insurrection protection committee, which Speaker McCarthy, the 21st century McCarthyism, had to agree to last week in order to gain the…
I thank the gentleman for yielding the time. I rise in strong opposition to H. Res. 11, which would create a select committee on China. The only reason why we are creating this select committee on China is because extremist MAGA…
The year 2022 has seen more scandals of greater magnitude seeping out of 1 First Street than in any other single year in recent memory.

Our Nation's veterans have done their duty and deserve to be protected from fraudulent schemes that prey upon them.
Make no mistake about it, this is not about states' rights. The Dobbs decision is not about states' rights.
I would implore my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to have respect for the chair and to cease and desist conversation when that gavel comes down.
How free are we as Americans if we are holed up in our homes, shell-shocked by gun violence? We should not have to live like that. We shouldn't have to live tormented by the need to buy yet another gun more powerful than the one our…
No other country has a problem like the gun violence problem plaguing our country.
Americans have grown weary, frustrated, and frightened by the ever-intensifying cascade of gun violence afflicting our country.
