I thank Congresswoman Jayapal for that excellent discussion of the pro-choice question and other jurisprudence. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the distinguished gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky).

I want to thank Ms. Waters for her zealous work on behalf of her constituents and all Americans. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler), our distinguished colleague, who is a leading member of the House…

I thank Congresswoman Jayapal for her fantastic leadership for the people of Washington in the city of Washington and her zealous advocacy for all of the American people. Mr. Speaker, let me try to recap some of the themes that we have…

That just strikes me as really antithetical to the constitutional design.

With my colleague Pramila Jayapal, from the State of Washington, on behalf of the Progressive Caucus, we are taking this Special Order hour to focus on the question of the Russian connection. This is a matter of utmost seriousness and…

I don't understand how that's fair.

Nobody takes the speech and debate clause more seriously in this body than Mr. Garamendi. He speaks in debate pretty much every day, and that is what the Founders wanted us to do, not to just come here in a kind of naked exercise of power…

Every American who loves freedom, democracy, and public integrity this week is expressing solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of anticorruption protesters in Russia who took to the streets on Sunday. That huge throng of brave…

One of our great American aphorisms--I think it's attributed to Ben Franklin--is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

What's striking to me, though, is that those people who have gone through it or have had an immediate family member go through it, look at something like a proposed $6 billion cut in NIH medical research budget and are horrified by it.

This legislation, however it turns out today, will crash the system, which is what their chief strategist, Steve Bannon, has said he wants to do. If a foreign power like the Russians proposed to do this to America, we would consider it an…

We are here to discuss the rule for voting on TrumpCare, or RyanCare, or whatever they are calling it today, based on whoever is willing to put their name to it. But we learned upon arrival at work that the rules are that there are no…

I thank Congresswoman Jayapal for her leadership on this Special Order. I think the message is getting through to the American people: 24 million of us are about to lose health care if this legislation goes through. In my home State of…

Now, understand, I guess my concern is that if we are going to, again, use tools, it seems to me that we would do everything in our power to make sure that those tools are used in a fair way.

I doubt many Americans realize that when they go down to the DMV to get their driver's licenses, their photos could be made part of a database that can be searched by the FBI.

We could save $125 billion just by reducing bureaucratic bloat and contractor fraud and waste and abuse and overruns.

What we don't know at this point is what specific regulatory changes might be forthcoming from the administration in this field and how they would affect the environment and affect workers.

When you have that kind of systemic repeat dysfunction over the decades, you've got to believe it's not totally pathological; it's working for somebody.

I represent the Eighth Congressional District in Maryland, which includes NIH, which is now slated for a $6 billion cut.

We are so proud of the leadership Congresswoman Jayapal is showing in both Washington State and Washington, D.C., in resisting these terrible cuts to the domestic budget of the people of the United States, in showing leadership, also…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 985, the so-called Fairness in Class Action Litigation and Furthering Asbestos Claims Transparency Act of 2017. I want to thank my distinguished…

I hope the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Ellison) will stick around. I want to salute him and congratulate him on his new position, not only as a leading Member of the United States House of Representatives, but now as vice chairman of the…

We obviously have a different vantage point on what is taking place in the civil courtrooms of America today. On our side, we look out over America and in the courts and we see millions of our neighbors, our fellow citizens who are…

I am going to yield to my colleague from Minnesota, Mr. Ellison. It was 7 years ago in March 2010 that President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law extending access to affordable health insurance coverage to more than 20 million…

I am delighted to have this time on behalf of the minority and the Progressive Caucus. We have a number of very distinguished Representatives who want to talk about what is going on with people's health care in America and the attacks…
