Unfortunately, Mr. Chairman, I cannot sit here as if this is business as usual when we are currently facing a tragedy that is taking place as we speak at our southern border.
The silence by so many Republican Members of Congress, in light of so many misguided, asinine, and un-American decisions by this administration is both shameful and telling.
There are very modest tax cuts for middle class and little or no tax cuts for the working poor.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today out of anger and frustration at a deplorable situation in my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. I was shocked to read in yesterday's Chicago Tribune about the callous disregard demonstrated for our poor and vulnerable…
I want to direct my question to Director Turpin, and I mentioned in my opening statement I previously ordered an amendment on H.R. 3043 that would direct FERC and Federal resource agencies to convene a negotiated rulemaking within 90 days…
I remain very leery of supporting any approach that would make FERC the lead agency over the licensing process and would require Native Tribes, the States, and Federal resource agencies to pay deference to the Commission.
However, the process for how we license these projects is too important for us to get it wrong by making changes that could lead to negative unintended consequences.
