Despite all the promises on the campaign trail, House Republicans have chosen to do three things with their majority: raise the cost of putting food on the table, raise the cost of getting healthcare, and use that money, deserving…

I have been listening to my Republican colleagues, waiting for the moment when they are going to fight for the American people, the constituents they have that are not Elon Musk. So far, the silence is deafening. If they are not cheering…

Republicans have one goal today, and that is a march toward a national abortion ban. They want it so desperately that now through this bill they are treating doctors like criminals, demonizing heartbroken women, and accusing mothers of…

Every single parent worries about their kids' safety. Every parent wants their daughters to be treated fairly including on the sports field. That conversation is being had among parents, schools, experts, and sports authorities across the…

We will not allow Republicans to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. No way.

The GOP promised to make life easier for working families. Now, they want to slash your school budget, raise your grocery costs, and hike your energy bills—all to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Here we are once again. My Republican colleagues have decided to end the 118th Congress the same way they started it; not with a serious budget but with partisan chaos. Let's look at the last 2 years. First, the GOP manufactured a debt…

On behalf of a grateful House of Representatives, I rise to offer thanks to one of the most skilled staffers that I--and I know many of us agree--have ever worked with. After nearly three decades of service to the people's House, this is…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. This month marks 2 years since extreme MAGA Republicans dismantled Roe v. Wade, subjecting American women to reproductive oppression not seen for half a century. For the other side of the aisle, it is…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. John Gardner said: ``History never looks like history when you are living through it.'' There is no doubt that today's votes in the House of Representatives will reverberate through history and will be…

Last month, I joined my colleague Jared Moskowitz on a tour of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The school is frozen in time. It is just as it was 6 years ago today when a gunman stole the lives of 17 people…

We all agree that something needs to be done to fix our broken immigration system, but when it comes to doing the work, finding the solutions, House Democrats have come to the table, President Biden has come to the table, and the Senate…

I thank the gentlewoman from Oregon for yielding time and for all her incredible work. Madam Speaker, I have to hand it to the majority. With this bill, the MAGA majority has reached new heights or lows, as you want to define it, that are…

The MAGA majority is putting forward an impeachment inquiry even as their own leaders admit there is no evidence of wrongdoing. They have already reviewed tens of thousands of documents, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and nothing. Why…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. As we speak here today, conflicts are raging around the globe, and the American people have told us exactly what they want us to do. Democracy is under siege. Putin is salivating at the prospect that…

I thank the gentlewoman from Connecticut, The Nutmeg State, The Constitution State, for all her work and for yielding this time. Mr. Chair, a budget is a reflection of our values, and what a low value the majority places on women and…

We are 10 days from a GOP shutdown, and instead of finding a bipartisan way forward, instead of working with us to lower costs for families at home, instead of honoring the budget deal that we already agreed to, Republicans have turned…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 222, nays 186, not voting 24, as follows: [Roll No. 559] YEAS--222 Adams Aguilar Allred Armstrong Balint…

Pro tempore, 212, it is a New York area code, and it is our call for a Speaker of integrity, intelligence, and inclusion; 212 is our call for a Speaker who will protect our children, our veterans, our planet; 212 is our call for a Speaker…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 0, nays 427, not voting 6, as follows: [Roll No. 512] NAYS--427 Adams Aderholt Aguilar Alford Allen Allred…

We have just received a 71- page bill that is about keeping open our Federal Government, something that Democrats have been pushing for months. We are asking for 90 minutes to be able to read this bill and come to the floor with an…

A handful of issues have always transcended politics. Our troops, the guardians of our freedom, have always been one of them, but in the MAGA Republican Party, nothing is off the table. Nothing takes priority over their goal of a…

We are going to continue to stand in this country for some basic principles that we are sent here for the American people, that we are sent here to defend their freedom, and that we are sent here to work an economy that isn't just for the…

I appreciate the leader for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I think we have very different definitions of success for the American people. As Democrats, we have been focused and have been successful in growing our economy by growing the middle…

Ever since the minutemen gathered in Lexington, America's Armed Forces have been guardians of freedom. Generations of heroes have signed up for a singular cause: preserving liberty for all. Regardless of party or politics, the House has…
