we don't want them dragging their feet on all of this.

Some of the most frightful words people ever hear is, 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you.'

Republicans believe the Federal employees should get the job done for the American people and that they should be held accountable for doing so.

It is time for us to meet in person. You cannot lead by fear, and other committees are meeting in person.

I, along with many others, have consistently and forcefully condemned political violence by anyone of any kind.

Even Senator Elizabeth Warren has said that solitary confinement is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging.

I thank my friend for yielding his time. Mr. Speaker, we are all seeing gas prices soar--35 percent since January, since this administration took office. Whereas, what this administration inherited, under President Trump, was low and…

We just saw one of the greatest public-private partnerships in the history of our country, and it was led by President Trump's administration.

It was Trump supporters who lost their lives that day, not Trump supporters who were taking the lives of others.

I don't even understand, Madam Chair, why you, yourself, don't speak the truth as to what President Trump actually stated.

I thank the ranking member for yielding. I don't even know where to begin to respond to what we just heard. To imply that Washington, D.C., has no representation is absolutely false. It does have local representation. It also has a…

This bill is not the answer to voting rights in D.C.

That's exactly what this is all about, the Democratic Party attempting a political power grab of obtaining more Senators.

I thank the gentleman from California for yielding. It is stunning to me that we are still wrestling through these type of issues. We have been watching over the last few months one radical piece of legislation after another and our…

Meanwhile, here in Washington, the Democratic majority is cheerfully pushing more legislation to incentivize more illegals coming here. We have this bill promoting amnesty. We are literally exalting illegals in this country over those who…

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. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this motion are postponed…

There is an unprecedented crisis at the southern border. Literally, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing into the United States, stretching our patrol officers and enforcement down there to a breaking point. In February…

I thank my good friend from Ohio for yielding. Look, bottom line is, we all know that by definition criminals don't abide by the law. And that applies also when they are purchasing firearms. Nothing in this bill prohibits this type of…

I thank my friend from Arizona for yielding. Mr. Speaker, we are all concerned with this bill, H.R. 8. And the reality is, the big money donors and powerful special interest groups behind the Democratic Party for a long time have sought to…

Listen, the American people expect and deserve free and fair elections. They deserve to have one legal vote cast and one legal vote counted, but H.R. 1 turns all of our election process upside down. It upends our entire election system…

Absolutely. That is extremely well said and very potent in the way you presented that. And it has come to the point, even in just the last couple of days, I had a woman face to face I was speaking with about this, and she was hesitant to…

I have heard a lot today about discrimination against the LGBTQ community and them being kicked out of housing or whatever. No one wants that. But my question, Madam Speaker, to my friends on the other side was: Would they also agree that…

I appreciate the gentleman's leadership on this and he's a very dear friend from Texas. And I am grateful. Listen, I don't know that there are many issues that are much more significant, if any more significant, than what we are watching…
