a fierce champion of federal workers, public integrity and the people of Virginia.

crushingly sad to learn of the passing of Gerry Connolly, my friend, colleague and fierce champion of federal workers, public integrity and the people of Virginia.

There is nothing that would actually prevent the sale actually by GSA, right? Who would effectuate the provisions of the prohibited purchaser statute?

I rise to support the Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act, which seeks to improve law enforcement officer safety and wellness by requiring that the AG and other Federal officials issue regular reports on…

That is while you are an officer. Now let's say you retire and you commit domestic violence or assault or battery or some other offense 2 years later. The department is not notified of that, is not keeping track of it. What does it mean to…

the gentleman stirred me out of my stupor there by coming back with a couple of grants that apparently were eliminated. I will take his word for it. If I did the internal math correctly, that was less than $2 million out of $811 million…

I don't understand why, when the gentleman now is vigorously protesting that that is not the intention of the statute, that is not the intention of the legislation. Please rewrite the bill to be in accord with what you are saying, which is…

Then we are establishing legislative history that, according to the gentleman, this legislation is designed to apply only to handguns and not to all of these other things which the gentleman says are irrelevant. Is that right?

Even in the case of a SWAT team, the gentleman is saying that a member of a SWAT team would not have a semiautomatic weapon?

I speak very strongly in favor of Ms. Wasserman Schultz's resolution, which recognizes Jewish American Heritage Month and the important contributions that Jewish Americans have made to our country... The resolution also goes on to urge the…

I wish it were one that we could be together on, but I think it just goes way too far in terms of trespassing on States' rights and States' powers. We have a nice equilibrium and stasis in terms of where the law has been for the last two…

I was here, I should say, in 2021, when the Chamber was stormed, and that is a day I will never forget. Forgive my passion on the point of getting that plaque up. I wish our colleagues would just help us convince the Speaker of the House…

Mr. Speaker, this is Police Week. In colloquial terms, it is Law Enforcement Week. Traditionally, we do two things in Law Enforcement Week. One, we recognize the valor, the sacrifices, and the commitment of the police officers who serve…

I will start just by asking my friend from Ohio whether he is referring to me when he uses the word ``you'' or if he is referring more generally to some other people because I would categorically deny having done any of those things.

Well, the gentleman refers exclusively--and I think he is aware of this because he is an extremely clever debater--to things that different local governments did or did not do. I don't know what Denver, Colorado, or Burlington, Vermont…

A gift you use for four years and then deposit in your library is still a gift (and a grift).

The U.S. Attorney in D.C. should have unquestioned commitment to justice, public integrity and the truth.

Trump must seek Congress’ consent to take this $300 million gift from Qatar.

That’s a false choice. It’s all the same.

This is a matter of life and death for millions of people across the country.

We are not going to allow them to tear it down.

Today our constituents across the country are demanding that elected officials be organizers, strategists, and leaders for democratic opposition to authoritarianism in America.

Trump is weaponizing, distorting, and exploiting the reality of antisemitism to attack academic freedom … the Senate should oppose Trump’s further transparent moves to undermine American democracy under the banner of opposing antisemitism.

This president, with his approval ratings underwater and sinking like a stone, is desperately seeking to undermine his political opposition by cutting off their access to funding.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 219, nays 213, not voting 1, as follows: [Roll No. 98] YEAS--219 Aderholt Alford…
