I thank my friend and colleague from northern Minnesota for yielding. We share a lot of commonalities, and one is our love of the outdoors and of our national treasures. Mr. Speaker, I rise in favor today of H.R. 3195, the Superior…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 112.

I am here today to offer my amendment to H.R. 7023. Michigan's First District is home to more than 2,000 miles of Great Lakes coastline. It is by far the most of any congressional district, and it touches three of the five Great Lakes. For…

I sadly rise today in support of H.R. 7511, the Laken Riley Act, and to honor the namesake of this legislation. Laken Hope Riley was a beautiful soul taken too soon from her loving family by an illegal migrant who was detained and then…

Time is finite because once a minute is gone, it is lost forever. I have countless examples here of how Qatar's influence is so deep in Washington, D.C. That includes hacking. That includes targeting committee chairmen. Most importantly…

It is so interesting to walk in and wonder if you have walked into the middle of something. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the gentlewoman for yielding, and I am honored to join my colleagues today in highlighting the accomplishments and…
