I want to thank the witnesses, first and foremost, for the work you all do across the years every single day.
To see the United Nations say that this holy site to Jews everywhere around the world is illegally occupied territory.
The recent executive order signed by President Trump to ban refugees and other individuals from certain Muslim-majority nations is a shameful attempt to create a religious test for entry into our country. Rather than making our Nation…
I ask this House to bring up H.R. 724, which would rescind President Trump's refugee ban on women like Sahar Alghnimi, who came here to care for her elderly mother who had just undergone surgery, only to be detained at O'Hare Airport and…
44 years ago this week, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade in favor of a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body. It is outrageous that today, more than four decades later, President Trump and my Republican…
In his farewell speech, President Obama said that if anyone can put together an alternative healthcare plan that is demonstrably better and covers as many people at less cost, he would publicly support it. I feel the same way. The ACA is…
A little over a month ago, I attended the funeral of Javon Wilson. Javon was the grandson of my good friend, Congressman Danny Davis, and he was just 15 years old when he was shot and killed in Chicago. At the funeral, Javon's best friend…
Amendment III: ``No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.''
For 19 years, when Jordan occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, Jews could not visit the Western Wall or the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. They were denied access to places where, for 2,000 years, they have continuously made a…
If there is going to be a deal, it must only be a good deal. And a good deal will only be such if it blocks all of Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon.
This is the final amendment to the bill which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to the underlying bill…
I am opposed in its original form. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Schneider moves to recommit the bill H.R. 2 to the Committee on Natural Resources and the Committee on…
Our number one priority should always be strengthening our economy and expanding job growth and opportunity. That is why I launched the ``Brad At Your Business'' initiative, to hear firsthand about the opportunities and challenges facing…
The hearing today, the conversations we have had now for generations, has been about justice.
The Affordable Care Act is often a contentious issue, but I think many of us on the Committee can at least agree that the issues small businesses are facing, have been facing in the marketplace, are difficult.
We want it to be crystal clear to the world that we tried diplomacy as far as we could take it and Iran could not do what it needed to do.
I think we need to be clear. And I think, if we do tell Iran what their options are so there is no doubt, we have a better chance of getting to a successful resolution on negotiations.
It is imperative--and I will repeat myself because I think it bears repeating--that Iran cannot be allowed to have the capability to get a nuclear weapon.
It should be measured in generations. Because, as you said, it is an existential threat not just for Israeli, but for many countries around the region, and a threat to the world.
With more than 319 cosponsors in the House, I hope that this body will strongly support its passage, and that the Senate will move swiftly to enact legislation as well.
I think it should be at the very least generations if we can't get the permanent agreement.
I agree with you and I know last month this committee passed unanimously the Hezbollah sanctions bill that would limit or prohibit their access to international banking and thwart some of that relationship.
