Jamie Raskin is an American attorney, law professor, and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Maryland's 8th congressional district since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Raskin has been an advocate for various progressive policies, including healthcare reform and civil rights. He gained national attention for his role in the impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, where he served as a lead impeachment manager during the Senate trial in early 2020.
And if it is actually going to happen, people should demand a very specific accounting of how there is contrition and repentance on part of each of the people being pardoned.
They cannot afford to lose one vote, whether that's to political defection or illness or even a complete divorce from the caucus.
Well, look, it's certainly vastly superior to shutting down the government of the United States. We've lived through some Donald Trump shutdowns before. We know what that means in terms of the effect on the federal workforce, on veterans…
The Democrats are totally unified, totally focused. And we believe that we are defending not just the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, but also our opportunity to make progress for the American people.
The Democrats viewed this as a first assault on Social Security and Medicare of the 119th Congress. They were really beginning plans to try to dismantle basic entitlements the American people have built up and paid into over the years.
I urge all my colleagues to support S. 59, and I salute Ms. Foxx on her excellent leadership and stewardship of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion…
I also have no further speakers. I support passage of S. 4077, and I urge all of my colleagues to join me. Mr. Speaker, 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.
I thank the gentleman for his compelling remarks, and I support passage of H.R. 6244. I yield back the balance of my time.
Just to complete a little bit of the portrait of Sergeant Major Waugh, which was begun by Mr. Burlison, Sergeant Major Waugh also served in the Green Berets within the U.S. Army Special Forces in 1954. When he retired from the Army, he…
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.
He's somebody who embodies the ethos of using the government as a partisan and political instrument for the will of the president.
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.
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.
I hope that we're going to be advancing a strong vision of what it means to live in a free and democratic society.
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I am just becoming acquainted with the amendment and the legislation now, but it seems to me it is a very good idea to educate people on the dangers and the perils of Communist…
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.
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.
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…
