Every single day, I hear from Kansans who are working hard, budgeting carefully and doing everything right, but are still getting squeezed by rising costs on everyday essentials like groceries, healthcare, and housing.

I fundamentally believe the government should work for the people it serves — not special interests, big corporations, or partisan agendas.

There are plenty of us who disagree with court rulings on a regular basis, but you don’t completely change the way that we get Supreme Court justices just because you don’t like some of the rulings that they make.

But really, fighting professionally taught me that you don't solve every challenge by throwing punches.

Turns out getting punched in the face is pretty good preparation for Congress.

The investments we’ve made in infrastructure, transportation, safety, and community development will benefit Kansas City and our surrounding communities for generations to come.

The matches will bring excitement, visitors and economic opportunity to the Kansas City metro area. And the impact won’t end when the final whistle blows.

Many of our LGBTQI+ elders fought tirelessly for equality in a world that refused to accept their identity. While they overcame tremendous odds to give future generations the rights they deserve, our elders, particularly those in rural…

These are not abstract bureaucratic problems.

That’s unacceptable.

Rural hospitals are already hanging on by a thread.

If that standard has changed, the National Weather Service owes Kansans clear answers about why and the science and data behind that decision.

You don’t get to quietly scale back something this important without transparency, especially in a state where severe weather can turn deadly fast.

Kansans deserve transparency about what’s happening, why it’s happening and what’s being done to fix it.

They're going to stop at nothing to tighten their grip on Kansas.

Even though they failed to force this special session, we know that this fight is not over.

Instead of figuring out how to get Kansans the health care that they need, these guys are worried about doing Donald Trump’s bidding for a political power grab.

We can call it shifting the goal post, changing the rules of the game. But it is cheating.

They know that their policies are so extreme and so unpopular that they're literally willing to cheat to win.

Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Thompson, Ranking Member Craig, and Chairman Scott for their work on this bipartisan bill. As a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, I have made it a priority to support family farmers and strengthen…

This is a tough place to be a woman. I’ve been put down, and pushed aside, knocked out.

I urge all of my colleagues to support H. Res. 153, and I continue to express condolences for all the victims to their families, friends, and loved ones. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

We certainly have an obligation to ensure that small businesses across the country are helped and not hurt by regulatory guardrails.

But FEMA cannot do everything alone. Congress has to do our part.
