I do not oppose unions. I support freedom. I do not oppose our President. I oppose oppressive actions out of our executive branch.

In a hearing earlier this year before the Oversight Committee, we had a young American, a squared-away young man, a former Army Ranger, who spoke on what it truly means to become a soldier. He told us: ``Training in the United States Army…

In 1988, I joined the Army. I went through boot camp and AIT in 1989 as Private Higgins, an enlisted man. Going through the military police academy in 1989 was quite grueling, and we lost a lot of people. We excluded many young soldiers…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In subtitle A of title IX, add at the end the following: SEC. 9__. ELIMINATION OF THE CHIEF DIVERSITY…

It's become very clear that the expense of large traditional, sort-of, 20th-Century envisioned massive vessels of war that are incredibly expensive to build and remarkably easy to sink apparently with small, inexpensive, expendable…

we certainly recognize, as a people, we recognize that the Communist Chinese leadership poses a potential threat to world peace

the gray zone coercion and their tactics to advance their own causes in that region while staying below the threshold of what would internationally be recognized as an act of war

My friend and colleague has mentioned in his opening statement that 500 noncitizens are registered to vote in D.C. My colleague is clever to point this out, but I am quite sure he is also aware that it has been estimated that 50,000…

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Louisiana has 13 minutes remaining.

I express my sincere gratitude to my friend and colleague, Representative Raskin, for conducting this debate in a vigorous yet respectful manner. I am certain that he will agree that this is the manner in which our Founders envisioned we…

My distinguished colleague has mentioned that it is already against the law for an illegal to cast a vote. We understand this, but surely the gentleman knows that corruption is borne in the heart of man, not the mechanisms of man. We have…

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Louisiana has 17\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Maryland has 10\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I have not heard my Democratic colleagues address the fact that even one noncitizen's vote will, in fact, dilute the votes of American citizens. The gentlewoman mentioned Republicans' efforts to disrupt D.C. elections. Quite to the…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 262, noes 143, not voting 25, as follows: [Roll No. 232] AYES--262…

I introduced the Transparent Automated Governance Act, the TAG Act, as a first step to set limits on Government application of artificial intelligence.

It is important that Congress provides a framework so that AI cannot be leveraged in any manner that is contrary to Americans' individual liberties, rights, and freedoms.

I am not necessarily opposed to the emerging technology. Even if I were it would be like opposing the incoming tide of the ocean.

It wasn't the cartels that changed on January 20, 2021. It was the President of the United States.

Let the historical record reflect that fact.

Do you know why our Democratic colleagues oppose this report? Do you know why, Madam Speaker? They don't want clear, fresh, precise data provided to the American people on how many attacks uniformed law officers suffer every year. They…

I'm honored and humbled to be a brother of the Thin Blue Line.

Maintaining families, I would argue from a conservative perspective is most certainly a benefit to our republic.

I believe, and most conservatives across the country believe, that the disintegration of the very fabric of our Nation began as we stepped away from the traditional American family.

The gentleman from Maryland stated that this bill is perhaps unconstitutional. Under our Constitution, he has every right to lead an article III challenge to the constitutionality of this bill, which I expect that they will. My Democrat…
