I think the history of the country, let alone the history of the world shows us that where people live and work in proximity to one another, they are far more creative.

Today is tax day, the day that hardworking Americans finish preparing their taxes; and it is already clear, looking at the new tax bill, that it will overwhelmingly benefit CEOs, shareholders, and the wealthiest Americans. Since the…

Many cities in this country are facing a kind of fiscal stress that is really difficult for us to get our heads around.

What I am interested in hearing from you are any thoughts you have about how the supervisory authority of the Fed--the levers that come with that authority can be used not just for the purposes of streamlining the regulatory process, but…

I have been an advocate for pushing our Federal Government, at every level, to focus more attention on the struggles that America's older industrial cities, old cities and towns face, many of them that continue to be left behind even…

The Bureau's independence makes it an important entity. That independence actually means that it stands up for the American consumer.

An administration that believes that a person who is--already has a full-time job--and I imagine the director of OMB is one that takes a lot of your time--can also be the principal defender of American consumers does not take that job or…

Yesterday, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the CBO, released a report highlighting the fact that the budget deficit will pass $1 trillion within 2 years, thanks in large part to the massive tax cuts granted to the wealthiest…

This Friday marks the eighth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act being signed into law. In the richest country in the world, healthcare should be a basic human right, not a privilege for some. While the ACA is far from perfect--we know…

Forty-five percent of the people in Flint live below the poverty line.

My hometown of Flint is such a good example but there are so many others.

There needs to be some kind of an approach that is far more robust for those specific highly distressed communities.

I am proud to represent Joint Base Lewis-McChord which is the U.S. military's premier West Coast power projection platform.

Let's be clear, there are strategic competitors who want what we know.

For me and the community I represent national security is personal.

I want our capabilities to be strong enough, unique enough to be a deterrent to potential adversaries picking a fight in the first place.

I am opposed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Kildee moves to recommit the bill H.R. 1119 to the Committee on Energy and Commerce with instructions to report the same…

This is the final amendment to the bill, which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended. Mr. Speaker, this bill is the latest attempt by Republicans to…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of passage of the…

Like my friend Mr. Perlmutter and my friend Mr. Huffman and others, we didn't come to the Congress with the idea that we were going to spend our time talking about Russian collusion with a campaign to try to undermine our electoral system…

I thank Mr. Perlmutter for yielding, and I want to just underscore a point he made in his opening remarks. This is fundamentally about a principle that we hold pretty dear in this country, and, that is, our freedom. Our freedom is rooted…

Obviously, as I said, we need a national strategy to combat the financing of transnational criminal organizations. This legislation requires that such a strategy be put together. It is an issue that crosses virtually every partisan or…

This week is Great Lakes Week. As a Michigander, I am proud of the fact that Republicans and Democrats in Congress continue to work together to highlight the importance of our shared water resources and to protect the Great Lakes. The…

I will just close by reiterating what I said earlier. From time to time, it is clear that we can come together on solutions to problems that we come across in any regulation, in any aspect of the Federal Government. Even in areas where we…

This week, the long-awaited Trump infrastructure plan was finally released. What a disappointment, after coming here a year ago and promising a $1 trillion plan. Then, in his State of the Union, saying it is going to be even…
