I thank my good friend, Mr. Arrington. I wish I had a witty sports rejoinder from Michigan to Texas, but I utterly lack that. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address the deeply troubling state of our Nation's finances. As Mr. Arrington has…

I thank our ranking member, Mr. Lucas, for yielding me time and for his continued leadership on the Science, Space and Technology Committee. Madam Speaker, H.R. 7289, the Federal PFAS Research Evaluation Act, is a bipartisan bill that…

For three hours, the President did nothing. And I think that was a shameful dereliction of duty.

We must evolve our approach to address these new and emerging threats and allocate Federal dollars in the most effective manner possible.

I believe that we must do all that we can to protect our communities and equip them with the tools they need to combat and prevent targeted violence and terrorism--in whatever form it comes.

I thank my dear friend from Texas for yielding. When I was in middle school, we had a textbook for U.S. Government, and it showed our debt. The line went up and the line went down over administrations. It spiked in World War II. It was…

I don't feel that DHS is being transparent with the American people or Congress about the situation at the border.

I think you are hearing broad and bipartisan enthusiasm and excitement for what the SBIR and STTR programs have been able to do.

Regrettably, instead of putting effort toward securing the border, the Biden administration chooses to focus entirely on the 'root causes' of illegal immigration from Central America.

Immediate action must be taken to prevent this outcome.

I think there is a lot of partisan rancor around the border, and we come from different perspectives there.

Meijer is convinced there are more Republicans like him, rational pragmatic disgusted by the turn the party has taken than there are like Gosar.

We cannot afford to ignore what is going on.

I am proud to rise today in support of H.R. 5142 introduced by my colleague, Lisa McClain from Michigan. This bill would posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to the U.S. servicemembers killed during the final week of the…

Despite repeated calls and warnings from a bipartisan group of lawmakers dating back to April, the administration failed to adequately plan for this withdrawal.

this administration has compounded the problem at the border by failing to adequately dissuade those who seek to illegally cross.

This administration has compounded the problem at the border by failing to adequately dissuade those who want to illegally cross our borders.

Although I do not fault those who seek a better life for their families, we now find ourselves in a border crisis.

we now find ourselves in a border crisis where too many individuals and families have been making that choice to enter the United States illegally at the encouragement of the administration.

I thank my colleague from the great State of Michigan, and I guess, I would thank Paul for all of the service he has given this body, has given our country, has given our State. The morning when I was supposed to first meet Paul, was the…

We need to have more transparency and action from the administration beyond ongoing interagency conversations.

We have a moral obligation to protect our brave allies who put their lives on the line for us.

If we aren't thoughtful and deliberate in allocating this aid, we risk... fueling even more corruption.

Without these kinds of effective program management mechanisms in place, there is little reason to believe that more money will lead to more progress and outcomes.
