I am prepared to close with this. Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. It looks like, in a bipartisan way, everybody loves nurses. They provide frontline care in a variety of settings and often work to supervise and coordinate care for patients. We couldn't live without them, and so we are helping them today. Madam Speaker, I urge the passage of this legislation with all of my colleagues, and I yield back the balance of my time.

President Trump’s announcement of ‘major combat operations’ was not authorized by Congress, and I fully support a bipartisan War Powers resolution to reclaim our constitutional authority over matters of war.
Abandoning that approach in favor of reckless escalation puts lives, security, and regional stability at risk.
I fought for and continue to defend the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which proved that diplomacy, not war, can constrain Iran’s nuclear program and keep Americans safe.
We must return to diplomacy, uphold Congress’s authority, and prioritize the safety of U.S. service members and civilians above all else.
