I thank the gentleman for his compelling remarks, and I support passage of H.R. 6244. I yield back the balance of my time.

I urge everybody to support this fine legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

You said the Postal Service would break even by 2023, last year, or 2024. We are in December now. Under your leadership, the Postal Service has increased the deficit by 900 percent.

Well, I am just going by the numbers that exist. I mean, isn't it the case that in all 50 postal districts you have not lived up to the 95 percent service standard?

So, Mr. DeJoy, your plan promised Americans excellence in delivery, but the Postal Service is now operating below its 95 percent target service standard nationwide in every single one of the 50 postal districts in America.

You really can't find an example of any president — with the potential exception of Richard Nixon — who directed the Department of Justice to engage in criminal investigations and prosecutions targeting his political foes.

I hope that we're going to be advancing a strong vision of what it means to live in a free and democratic society.

They have been attacking the Department of Justice for ‘lawfare’ and for partisan weaponization as preparation for implementing their own plans to do precisely that.

He's somebody who embodies the ethos of using the government as a partisan and political instrument for the will of the president.

The problem is that I've not heard of any agenda other than instrumentalizing the Department of Justice and the FBI for purposes of political retaliation and revenge.

The assault on the federal workforce and the professional civil service are likely to be headquartered in Oversight, but the attack on the Justice Department, the FBI and the rule of law is going to be centered in the Judiciary Committee.

Oh, I think it's going to be all over the place.

In closing, I urge passage of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Manning), my colleague and, indeed, my cousin, for her thoughtful and eloquent remarks about Mr. Ferencz. Mr. Speaker, we have no further speakers, and I yield back the balance…

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Lois Frankel) for bringing this forward. Mr. Ferencz was, indeed, a great lawyer, a great humanitarian, and a great defender of freedom and democracy. We are proud to be able to push…

I have no further speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Valadao). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Comer) that the House suspend the rules and pass the…

I thank the distinguished gentlewoman from Puerto Rico for her kind words. We have no further speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I congratulate the gentlewoman on this legislation. My grandfather, who actually was in politics in Minnesota, was good friends with Floyd Olson, who also was in politics. He was a three-term Governor, an active member of the…

I have no further speakers. I urge everybody to pass this, and I yield back the balance of my time.

It seems like that example completely contradicts the thesis that there was some effort afoot to artificially inflate delegations in blue states.

New York lost a seat, and I found an article about that, August 12, 2021, New York Times, 'New York Loses House Seat After Coming Up 89 People Short on Census.'

I would turn the Judiciary Committee into the headquarters of congressional opposition to authoritarianism.

American civil society and the not-for- profit sector must be protected against political censorship and government vendetta. To get America to bite on this toxic sandwich, they have tucked the rotten unconstitutional meat in with language…

No one should play partisan politics with disaster aid, but that is exactly what your Agency has been doing.

I know you are proud of the 4 million vote majority which the President-elect seems to have now, just as we were proud of the 7 million vote majority that Joe Biden had 4 years ago.
