Unfortunately, the President's budget announced yesterday would do nothing but hurt the people who need the most help.

This proposed budget is callous and short-sighted, especially of the people who live in our coal communities.

Thankfully, the Congress has taken more interest in the welfare of the people of Appalachia.

The law is significant. It's the law, for crying out loud.

We've got to have teeth to this thing. We've got to have some answers.

It has been an incredible honor to serve the people of the great State of Georgia and the 10th District for the last four terms. This is my last time addressing you as fellow colleagues here from the House floor within these hallowed Halls…

It's been an incredible honor to serve in Congress for eight years and represent the great state of Georgia.

Today's hearing is but an attempt to blame Republicans for the horrendous acts of violence.

This type of stuff has got to stop on both sides.

This is not a one-sided issue. It's on both sides of the aisle.

The rise of hate crimes deeply concerns me. It concerns all of us.

What happened at Club Q is a tragedy that should never, ever, ever happen in the United States.

I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, this is a good bill. I urge my colleagues to support it, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Pro-abortionists also claim that abortion is necessary for women due to high rates of maternal mortality. Would you agree with that?

I would underscore the word 'moral decision.' This is a moral, spiritual, and religious issue for countless millions of Americans who hold to a Biblical world view on life.

the claim that the overwhelming consensus is that abortion is healthcare, would you agree with that?

That does not sound like a consensus at all. In fact, it sounds like more misinformation to pretend that the consensus of doctors in this field believe that abortion is healthcare.

I thank Mr. Comer for yielding time. The numbers that were just shared are out of 2.1 million Federal employees, and the figure is accurate. Some 10,000 were terminated in 2021, but this is a fraction. People in the private sector are…

Let me begin by stating clearly that I oppose the underlying bill here. Some of my Democratic colleagues claim that there is no such thing as a deep state, that there are no problems that we have within our Federal employee system. But…
