Gun violence is crime.

I want to commend our distinguished colleague, Nancy Mace, and Katie Porter from California for introducing the Modernizing Acquisition of Cybersecurity Experts Act.

I have to strongly oppose this bill, which would prevent the Federal Government from using one of the very best tools we have got to ensure that large construction projects are completed effectively, efficiently, and safely.

This is a good bipartisan bill that will allow the government to operate more transparently and efficiently and cost-effectively.

I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation.

I want to salute Ms. Mace for her great leadership on this matter.

The remaining six are clear attempts to undermine the effectiveness of government, the will of Congress, and the will and the interests of the American people.

After close analysis of each bill, I plan to support four of them because they genuinely advance the transparency, efficiency, and accountability that the American people deserve from our government.

They did mostly just listen. They had very little to offer on the science.

Let's just get the facts straight and leave all the political myth making aside.

We're all interested in finding out the origins of the COVID-19 epidemic to make sure that such a nightmare never happens again to us.

So once again, I invite my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join us in putting the needs of the American people above political theater.

Look, I've said from the day I was appointed Ranking Member that my top priority for the Select Subcommittee is focusing on forward-looking policies to prevent and prepare for future pandemics.

We are here precisely because of Donald Trump, because he wants this retribution exacted against Adam Schiff for standing up against Donald Trump's lies and assaults on American democracy. I congratulate the gentlewoman on her forthcoming…

I thank the ranking member of the Rules Committee for those astute remarks. I note that dozens of Members of our caucus have come to stand with Mr. Schiff today, while the sponsor of this resolution, Mrs. Luna, appears to be completely…

They defend the big lie, they defend the insurrection, they defend George Santos, but they attack Adam Schiff. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Carson).

I just want to observe that there are dozens of Members on our side who have come to stand with Mr. Schiff, and it appears to have been evacuated on the other side. There is nobody standing with the Luna resolution. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1…

I agree with my friend from New Mexico who said that, as politicians, we cannot defund the government and then rail against the government.

The philosophy in my office is that everything we do is about constituent service, whether it is helping people get their Social Security checks, helping people get their passports, getting PPP loans.

Ninety percent of the American people favor a universal violent criminal background check on sales of firearms in the country.

Another major threat to American freedom today comes from the imposition of random gun violence on the population all across America.

Now, like the dog who caught the car, their Supreme Court, which is well packed at this point, has adopted their extremist view, and it leaves them speechless because the people of America completely reject it.

I did notice that after the Dobbs decision was handed down, many of our colleagues who used to talk a lot about abortion have gone completely mum about it.

The primary threat to American freedom today, I would argue, comes from those who want to control women's access to healthcare.

When we get regulation right, we avoid disaster. When we get regulation wrong, we court disaster.
