For 250 years, Americans have been willing to take risks and innovate, and compete, and dream bigger.

Mr. Speaker, I will remind my colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they, too, can vote to fully fund DHS. They have an eighth opportunity to do that today. They have declined funding DHS seven previous times. I remind my…

I rise today to recognize Starlight Distillery, an outstanding family-owned business in southern Indiana. Operated by the seventh generation of the Huber family, Starlight earned global recognition when its Japanese Mizunara Reserve…

the Affordable HOMES Act does exactly that by cutting red tape, restoring clarity, and helping builders build and families buy. Despite claims made by my Democratic colleagues about the Affordable HOMES Act, it does not raise existing…

the American Dream starts with owning a home, but today families are being priced out by unnecessary Federal regulations. The Affordable HOMES Act fixes a simple but costly mistake in Washington: two Federal agencies regulating the same…

Mr. Speaker, I remind my colleague on the other side of the aisle that House Republicans did pass a funding mechanism out of the House of Representatives to the Senate, and because of the 60-vote rule in the Senate we did need the help of…

Let's just review some of the wins in the Working Families Tax Cut Act because taxpayers are expected to take home an additional $91 billion in refunds and keep an additional $30 billion in their paychecks from reduced withholdings…

We are here to cut burdensome red tape and regulatory overreach that leads to higher energy costs for Americans. Commonsense reforms like these are simple and long overdue. We are also here to move an appropriations package that provides…

We literally have a bill called the Affordable HOMES Act, and it addresses the cost of housing. They shut down the functioning of the government, preventing us from appropriating on the very good things that we talked about in the opening…

today, I rise with tremendous pride to celebrate a historic achievement for my alma mater, Indiana University. For the first time in program history, the Indiana Hoosiers are Big Ten Champions. This victory reflects more than a great…

Mr. Speaker, it is a little bit disingenuous to criticize the President on tariffs when every single Democrat voted for the largest tax increase in American history just recently. In the Working Families Tax Cuts Act under the One Big…

Mr. Speaker, what is more hurtful to working families is unfair trade practices that have undermined the American worker for decades. The tariffs imparted by President Trump are proving necessary to ensure fair trade, protect American…

Today, Mr. Speaker, I rise with a heavy heart. We should not have to debate this legislation this evening. This legislation is the result of a horrific decision to assassinate a man of faith, a husband, a father, and a friend, Charlie…

What the American people know, what I hope they know, is that this is a lot of political theater going on today, and I am sorry about it. I really am. Premiums are high because of ObamaCare. The un-affordable care act did nothing to lower…

Mr. Speaker, I have said this again and again. The rhetoric from our Democratic colleagues on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is just not true. In fact, we are preserving benefits for those who need it most by preventing people who are…

Mr. Speaker, the Democrats claim that this is providing tax cuts for the wealthy. Let's just talk about that. This bill includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and provides tax relief for seniors on Social Security. This will protect…

Mr. Speaker, Rome is burning, but not because of the leadership of Republicans and Donald Trump. After 4 years of failed leadership under President Biden, our country faces many challenges. Yet, Republicans, along with President Trump, are…

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I notice there are not a lot of people on the other side wanting to defend this budget. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. Gomez).

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I don't know if the gentlewoman wants to give us some of her time because we have a lot of speakers over here. I guess not. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from…

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Let me just say, by the way, Mr. Speaker, how is that mandate going for you guys now that voters are realizing that you betrayed them…

I will reiterate that saying something false over and over again doesn't make it true. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I say to the gentlewoman the facts do matter. Her Members are complaining…
