I agree it is ridiculous that we must consider legislation like the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act, but that is the level of ridiculousness that the Democratic Party has forced us into with their out-of-touch, woke agenda. The…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1194 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1194 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the…

Even in 2021, there were double the amount of overdose deaths than firearm deaths in the United States, and the dramatic increase in overdose deaths, particularly due to fentanyl, are a direct result of Joe Biden's broken border policies…

I yield to the gentleman from Massachusetts. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I have to say facts are important things. There have been no hearings on this bill. There was no markup, and there was no vote to report the bill out of committee…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 1052 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1052 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the…

Last night the Rules Committee met and produced a rule, House Resolution 1052, providing for the House's consideration of several pieces of legislation. The rule provides for H.R. 2799, the Expanding Access to Capital Act, to be considered…

You know what is a joke? The joke is that the bill that Democrats proposed in the Senate, with some Republican support, was the strongest border bill in history. That is the joke. That bill would do nothing more than codify Joe Biden's…

My colleague on the other side of the aisle says that this is on us, on Republicans, because of our inaction, but we passed H.R. 2, the actual strongest border bill that we have ever seen. We passed H.R. 2 8 months ago, maybe more, and 211…

I just have two words to say. H.R. 2, we passed that 8 months ago. That was the Secure the Border Act. The Democrats own that. Mr. Speaker, 211 Democrats voted against that legislation. I would also note that, since Joe Biden took office…

I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, again, this has been the most incompetent, ineffective, and unproductive Congress in the history…

I am requesting that the Army Corps of Engineers prioritize completing the Clarksville Shoreline Stabilization Project.

Last night, the Rules Committee met and produced a rule, House Resolution 947, providing for the House's consideration of several pieces of legislation. The rule provides for H.R. 788, the Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act, to be considered…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 947 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 947 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

If I had one word to describe what I hear from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, including the administration, it would be gaslighting. My colleagues claim that we don't want to help everyday Americans. My colleagues claim that…

Today, on the very day Hunter Biden ignored a subpoena from this body, we will vote to take the next critical step in formalizing the House's impeachment inquiry into President Biden. For months, the White House and Hunter Biden have been…

I would just like to note that the criticism that this bill does nothing to address the spiraling cost of education is just not true. The cost of higher education always rises in connection with the availability of student loans. Making…

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, if we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to provide consideration of a resolution which clearly states that this House will keep our promise to…

Last night, the Rules Committee met and produced a rule, House Resolution 906, providing for the House's consideration of several pieces of legislation. The rule provides for H.R. 4468, the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act, or the…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 906 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 906 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

I reserve the balance of my time, if the gentleman is prepared to close. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Mr. Speaker, these bills are so impactful that the demand to speak is so underwhelming that…

I am prepared to close, and I yield myself the balance of my time. We face another week of big legislation under consideration for a vote on the House floor to better the lives of everyday Americans. H.R. 4664, the Financial Services and…

Again, this bill funds at a level that we were just at 10 months ago. The sky was not falling then. The sky is not falling now, despite protestations of my friends from the other side of the aisle. I reserve the balance of my time.

Last night, the Rules Committee met and produced a rule, House Resolution 847, providing for the House's continued consideration of appropriations bills for fiscal year 2024. The rule provides for H.R. 4664, the Financial Services and…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 847 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 847 Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker…

Continuing to say that Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare, to quote my colleague, ``cutting these programs down to the bone,'' doesn't make it so. Republicans are committed to reducing spending. We are committed to trying…
