Steny Hoyer

It is a vote to weaken our ability to engage in the region, and it is a vote against American security, against American interests, and against Americans’ safety.

However, this amendment would embolden the enemies of peace, those who seek the complete elimination of Israel, and those looking for an excuse to murder Jews.

And it would make it harder for America to use our relationships with Israel and regional partners to promote a negotiated two-state solution, the only realistic path to deliver on the promise of peace, security, and self-determination for…

If adopted, it would – as Leader Jeffries rightly pointed out – limit our ability to confront terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah that expressly target American citizens and military personnel.

I rise in strong disagreement with this amendment, which would dangerously undermine America’s national security.

This amendment would embolden the enemies of peace, those pursuing the complete elimination of Israel and those who seek the death of Jews.

The rule of law depends on a judiciary that is properly funded.

I will send you some questions in writing. I would hope you would answer them.

Madam Administrator, the Congress appropriated funding for SBA's entrepreneurial and development program... Is the SBA currently withholding, delaying, or otherwise failing to obligate any of that appropriated funding?

I hope your subcommittee – will consider the impact these tariffs have on local businesses like ours and schools and families we serve.

Instead of telling them you're on your own, we ought to be doing everything we can to help them make it in America.

These small businesses and their employees deserve better than they're getting.

The Help America Vote Act and the Constitution could not be more clear: while election results may be partisan, election administration is not.

The President continues to attempt to nationalize federal elections to conform to his erroneous view that the 2020 election was stolen.

This President’s strategy, on the contrary, is to erode that trust at every opportunity.

This is, no doubt, a shameless effort to tip the scales of the upcoming midterm elections by making it harder for voters in urban and minority precincts to participate.

I am appalled at the Trump Administration’s latest partisan attempt to interfere in election administration.

Our democracy, while imperfect, continues to be history’s greatest experiment in striving for a more perfect society.

Let us embrace what I call the psychology of consensus - not only in Congress but in our daily interactions as fellow Americans - and seek foremost what we can achieve through unity of purpose.

Unsurprisingly, President Trump has no comfort or substance to offer, having recently declared: 'I love the inflation.'

We are better served by standing together than apart, by finding commonality with our neighbors than by highlighting our disagreements.

As we look to America’s next 250 years and beyond, let us renew our resolve to keep fighting for our Constitution and the ideals espoused by our Declaration of Independence.

As we mark this milestone anniversary of our nation’s independence, let us do so as our Framers intended: ‘out of many, one.’

What are we getting in terms of reforming a system that is clearly broken?

These choices send a clear message: hardworking Americans do not come first in President Trump’s America.
