For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Reschenthaler), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is…

There was chaos and pandemonium on the floor. People trying to put on gas masks and figure out how they work. I remember clearly the sound of the battering ram up against the door. I remember seeing members removing their congressional…

The vaccines are a remarkable triumph for science and investment and in scientific research and development.

We need to establish herd. Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle-aged with no conditions have zero to little risk.

I think this is decisive refutation in itself that people have been able to exercise their First Amendment liberties to assemble and speak and so on.

I think the American people can rest assured that we are in the hands of real science now and not the right-wing political science being dictated by the Trump administration.

Donald Trump mobilized a crowd of tens of thousands of people to stop the steal on the false allegation that he had actually won the 2020 Presidential election.

hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths of Americans could have been prevented by the Trump administration

some of our colleagues prefer to minimize the damage, saying, oh, well, it's less than one percent or two percent.

that's $80 billion that could've gone to small businesses that deserved it and people who needed the money.

Mr. Chairman, thank you for calling this very important hearing about more than $80 billion lost in fraud and rip-offs of the taxpayers within these programs.

It`s a national issue now. People understand that there are 712,000 taxpaying draftable U.S. citizens who live in Washington who paid a lot more in taxes than people in North Dakota or South Dakota pay.

The power grabs are in the eye of the beholder. We think it`s a power grab that all of these people who come from states that were admitted after the original 13 like South Dakota and North Dakota, or you know Alaska would try to deny it…

I think we've arrived at an interesting place in the conversation.

if a man and a woman are both doing the exact same job, and the woman is paid 20 percent less, it's against the law under the Equal Pay Act.

when the National Labor Relations Act was passed back in the 1930's, that domestic workers were specifically excluded from the ability to organize under the Wagner Act.

But there's a national political logic for it, too, because the Senate has become the principal obstacle to social progress across a whole range of issues.

I want to thank you for following the nonviolent and constitutional path to political equality in America, which is set forth in the Constitution itself.

I want to thank Representative Holmes Norton for her tireless fight and, as a fellow Yale Law grad, what she said about the Constitution.

Take the word of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, who dismissed what he called the statehood fallacy.

These are frivolous arguments. This is--you know, this is just flotsam and jetsam floating around.

But it's already been established that Congress can modify the boundaries of the Federal District.

Like, learn about American history and you will understand that all of the fraudulent arguments being made against the admission of Washington, DC, as a new state have been made against almost every state in the past.

Take the word of John Dingell, a liberal titan, the longest-serving Member of Congress, who supported every single civil rights measure that passed before Congress for 40 years.

Which, actually, was the main political agenda of a great Republican Member of the House of Representatives named Abraham Lincoln.
