What could be more harmful to the broader community than the restriction of our free speech?
America leads because of our stance for freedom, for all voices to be heard.
Today, America is looking carefully at Google, and a word reverberates through the minds of America: Freedom.
Google and YouTube are developing quite a poor reputation in our Nation. A clear history of repetitively silencing and banning voices.
Let us no longer our staff to advocate on our behalf. Let us not allow them to share with constituents our views on politics or policy.
My colleagues say no one is above the law. The President refuses to discipline.
We're going to hold Ms. Conway and any employee of the Trump administration... to a very high standard of accountability.
To ensure fair and consistent application of Federal laws, I have a draft bill to include employees of Congress under the requirements of the Hatch Act.
So Ms. Kellyanne Conway is the current targeted Trump administration employee. But there'll be another.
We control the people's treasure. Should we place a greater emphasis on pre-mitigation disaster resiliency preparedness?
As a Nation, at the local, state, and Federal level, we have failed to maintain our water management systems.

We have to constantly remind ourselves and our colleagues that there is no such thing as Federal money.

There are more than 17,000 migrants in Customs and Border Protection custody along our Southwest Border in facilities designed to hold 4,000.
Increasing numbers of migrants are bringing children on the dangerous journey to our border, more than ever before.
Seventeen times House Democrats have rejected immediate humanitarian border aid.
Unfortunately, our Majority has denied the House multiple opportunities to fund the needed supplemental humanitarian assistance.
Even the liberal New York Times Editorial Board, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are calling on House Democrats to act.
As well-intentioned as the diversion programs are, and the drug court is something I support, I've seen it work very well...
