The Equality Act is sitting on Mitch McConnell's desk. Senator McConnell won't even give us the courtesy of a debate.

If we could all just show some of the courage that Diane Nash showed when she was, what, 21 years old, risked jail time, went to jail while pregnant to stand up for her basic rights.

Last year, the House passed two landmark bills to protect voting rights.

Unfortunately, today many states are attacking the right to vote using tactics similar to those that civil rights pioneers battled for decades.

These abuses must end, and the House of Representatives has taken action to stop them.

I am hopeful we will pass H.R. 1. I am hopeful it will get through the Senate because the House, of course, has already passed it.

But the Congress of the United States, people forget, and I wish Mr. Roy were still here because apparently he as a staffer for Senator Cornyn forgot the key information about the renewal of the Voting Rights Act in 2006.

At least up until Shelby County v. Holder, where the Supreme Court, you know, started to exercise strict scrutiny of congressional efforts to enforce the right to vote.

The right to vote is the basic unit of democracy, and one person-one vote, if we don't have that, I think we as a republic are in serious trouble.

I am hopeful the Twenty-Eighth Amendment will be the Equal Rights Amendment that our chair has championed for a long time.

You connect us to a noble and honorable moment in American history, and so we thank you for your hard work and the sacrifices that you have made.

I want to thank Mr. DeSaulnier for his leadership. I rise in very strong support of the PRO Act because it will restore the constitutional and civil rights of American citizens seeking to organize a union. We have to remember that the…

All that Citizens United did was to transform every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund.

But here's the truth: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld MATS in its entirety, including the 'appropriate and necessary' finding.

I favor a constitutional amendment for the same reason that I support all the constitutional amendments that have reversed reactionary jurisprudence by the Supreme Court.

Citizens United did not enlarge the free speech rights of any citizen in the United States.

The Trump administration's MATS proposal would reverse EPA's finding that it's appropriate and necessary to regulate mercury.

Changing the co-benefit standard is what I believe this entire underhanded process represents.

But the work isn't finished. Mercury fish consumption advisories remain in all 50 states, and still at least 200,000 children remain neurologically impacted each year from mercury.

Mercury causes all sorts of adverse health effects, which you've heard from the other people and I'm not going to repeat here today.

There is another unfolding humanitarian crisis in Syria, this time in Idlib province. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has launched an all-out assault on the province, aided by Vladimir Putin's Russian forces. More than a quarter of a…

On Monday, the Rules Committee met and reported a rule, House Resolution 811, providing for consideration of two measures: H.R. 3621, the Comprehensive CREDIT Act; and the Senate amendment to H.R. 550. The rule provides for consideration…

I particularly want to thank my colleague and dear friend, Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence, for her leadership and vision.

We are not a racist country, the country that elected Barack Obama President. We are not an anti-Semitic country.

No, I do not yield for that purpose. All time is yielded for the purpose of debate. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland does not yield; therefore, the unanimous consent request cannot be entertained.
