This is a particular egregious example of substituting their judgment for those who are locally elected to govern the District of Columbia.

It’s absurd that the House hasn’t taken it up. It’s absolutely irresponsible, unfair and beneath the credibility of leadership.

Live from Washington, D.C., it is ``Saturday Night Live.'' You can't make this up. Mr. Speaker, I rise in perplexion. I first will say how much respect I have for Mr. Westerman. He is my dear friend and one of our best Members. My, my, my…

Very frankly, my confidence in America does not need that. I don't need Canada to be the 51st State. I don't need to invade Greenland, and I don't need the Gulf of America to have confidence in the greatest country on Earth. Are we so…

Tomorrow, May 8, marks 80 years since Nazi Germany surrendered to America and its Allies. Victory in Europe, known as VE Day, came at a tremendous price: hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions of others dead, many more physically…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I adopt all of what the leader said, notwithstanding the rebuttal from the chairman of our committee. Mr. Speaker, this bill is about giving Trump more unfettered power. That is what this bill is…

I applaud and support the remarks of the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Ross). We must be on Ukraine's side and against dictators, despots, and war criminals. HONORING BEVERLY BYRON Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great…

OPM's legally dubious and intentionally misleading offer is a disservice to these dedicated men and women, and it should be retracted immediately.

I thank my colleague for hosting this Special Order. I thank my colleague for his service. In full disclosure, my colleague and I probably represent between us about 150,000 Federal employees. I rise not only for those Federal employees…

We are better than this. Surely, all of us ought to be saying that to ourselves as we conclude this Congress. We are better than this. You will hear that said so often when we talk about our friend, Elijah Cummings. Mr. Speaker, I rise…

We lost Elijah far too early. His memory continues to guide us. His example is one to which all Members of this institution, all Members, all Americans, and all people ought to aspire. Attaching his name to this post office will serve as a…

He was a true son of Baltimore, the city of grit, of opportunity, of hard work, and, as they would say of themselves, of charm. He loved his city, and his city loved him in return. Naming this post office after him pays tribute to his…

I thank my friend, the gentlewoman from Michigan, for yielding. I congratulate her on a victory her team had. I called her, and I hope she got the message. I also say to my friend, Bruce Westerman, who is as suited to be the chairman of…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, Americans know that it is crazy to do something you know will not have any effect. That is what is crazy. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill. As majority leader in the last…

We have seen this film before. Let's just skip to the ending today. Put a CR on the floor. I don't like CRs. We should have done our work. We should have passed 12 bills, sent them to the President, and had him sign it. Let's skip this…

The same day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed our Congress and spoke of how Iran has exported anti-Semitism around the world, including the United States, we saw reminders of that disgusting and dangerous influence just…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Normally I don't speak on this bill, and I have been on the Appropriations Committee long enough to remember when this bill came to the floor in a bipartisan fashion. Mr. Lewis, who was chairman of our…

I come to the floor to urge Members to understand it is not just about them. It is about this institution and the ability of people to serve in this institution with the resources necessary to sustain themselves and their families. Too…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. We won't have a colloquy, however.

Which we had so many, many times. Mr. Speaker, I rise to talk about a person who has made a great difference in this institution for the Republican Party and for the Democratic Party, a person who brought great judgment, great skill, a…

I would remind the previous speaker of the bipartisan bill from the Senate, which does, in fact, deal with the critical issue she raised. The leadership of the Republican Party has refused to take up that bill. However, there is a more…

Just hours ago in this Chamber, the Prime Minister of Japan asked this Congress: ``Without U.S. support, how long before the hopes of Ukraine would collapse under the onslaught from Moscow?'' The answer is not long. It has been 469 days…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, late at night, a ship being guided by people working for the Port Authority of Baltimore lost control of a gigantic ship. Unable to propel it or guide it, they immediately called the…

1 minute is too little time. The Financial Services bill is a good bill. It is the responsible alternative. It is ironic that the group that has made compromise the most difficult over the last year continues to oppose compromise…

Today, we took the responsible step of funding the people's government. Unfortunately, we did not, however, fund our allies in Ukraine. The Speaker has said publicly and privately that he is going to bring Ukraine to the floor when we come…
