This is yet another one that is but a farce. Here we have the Democrats trying to take a victory lap, and, quite frankly, they are not even in the race.

Once COVID relief funding runs out, how is Metro going to survive?

With the Biden Administration's lenient telework policies, Federal workers won't be coming downtown anymore in anything like the numbers of the past.

If the Federal work force is no longer reliant on the Metro, why should we consider the Metro a national asset rather than just a local subway or transit system?

Again, here we are, instead of conducting real oversight, this committee continues to attack American businesses.

It's a federal takeover of our elections. It will install the ability for Democrats, quite frankly, to cheat.

I'm convinced quite frankly that if Martin Luther King were alive today, he would be on the side of the Republicans, on this issue. Voter integrity matters.

I, for one, do not believe that Brad Raffensperger has protected our election integrity in this state.

It appeared clear that the American taxpayers were getting ripped off and that TransDigm should pay back the money.

Committee Democrats here today are holding this hearing presumably to present themselves as being tough on things like waste, fraud, and abuse.

I must admit that I am confused, and I am sure some of my other colleagues also share in some of my confusion, as to specifically why the majority has failed to invite the administration witnesses to testify concerning their experience…

The Federal Government exists, as we all know, to serve the American people, and we must ensure that the Federal work force carries out that mission.

The Biden administration has made it clear that it wants expanded telework and remote work to become a permanent part of the Federal landscape.

I would point out that the bill's attempt to depoliticize OPM diminishes the President's ability to choose leaders who would carry out his or her vision.

I would just urge us to proceed with caution.

I thank Mr. Lamborn for organizing this Special Order. The Scripture tells us in Psalm 100 that God is good, that His mercies are everlasting, that His truth endures to all generations, and that truth is revealed to us in God's Word. This…

The House Democrats have done this. It is all one big party. And while we are going to be celebrating Thanksgiving next week, families gather together giving thanks, I am absolutely confident there will not be one family in America giving…

Nobody understands the disaster of the lack of election integrity like the people of Georgia. And now is our hour to take it back.

Nobody understands the disaster of the lack of election integrity like the people of Georgia. And now is hour to take it back.

We have got to take this whole issue of election integrity seriously.

The Democrats are trying to convince us that abortion is a constitutional right, which, you know, look, arguably you have got about as much constitutional right to kill an unborn baby as you do your neighbor.

I thank my dear friend from Louisiana for yielding. We are here this evening to recognize, but most importantly, to defend the sanctity of human life, something that once again is under attack in this House. In response to the left's…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 174, nays 216, not voting 40, as…
