I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma for yielding. Madam Speaker, on only day two of the 117th Congress, House Democrats are already attempting to strip Americans of the transparency that they deserve in order to push through an expensive…
I have a motion to commit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Garcia of Illinois). The Clerk will report the motion to commit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Smith of Missouri moves to commit the resolution (H. Res. 8) to a select…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 203, nays 217, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No. 7] YEAS--203 Aderholt Allen Amodei Armstrong Arrington…
This past November, the voters rejected a socialist agenda. If this rules package is any indication for how Democrats plan to run the 117th Congress, I cannot wait for the midterm elections. These rules allow Democrats to continue…
This is what happens when you have a party that's exclusively dedicated to disenfranchising those who don't vote for them.
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2477, which includes some legislation to improve Medicare coverage for kidney transplant recipients. The Trump administration has made increasing rates of…

I think we should just let the nation kind of run its course on the investigations and lawsuits dealing with the vote.
I want everybody's vote to count. I encourage voter -- I'm not for voter suppression.
I'm very confident that the country's going to move forward with this, and we're going to deal with the problems of our nation.
Just let it all run its course. I mean, they're still -- all of this stuff is not finished.

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 507, line 19, after the first dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $564,452,000)''. The SPEAKER…
If you listen to my Democrat colleagues, you would think the EPA could not go on without this funding that we are trying to reduce. It is about being efficient. This administration, as I had said earlier, under President Trump, emissions…
Once again, I rise to advocate in favor of the fiscal sanity of the Trump administration. Just like my last amendment, this amendment prevents the Democrats from taking us back to the Obama-Biden era policies of overregulation and…

More money is not always the answer. The right policies, efficiency, is the answer. As I said earlier, for the first time in 50 years, under Trump's policies and Trump's spending, we have the cleanest air since 1970. I am not sure why the…
Waters of the U.S., social cost of carbon, the Clean Power Plan rules, these are just a few of the crushing regulations issued by the Obama-Biden Presidency. During the Obama-Biden administration, the EPA issued nearly 4,000 regulations…
On the last day of the Obama- Biden administration, Fish and Wildlife issued a ``Director's Order'' setting in place an almost total ban on lead ammunition and tackle on Federal lands. While Fish and Wildlife claimed that the rule was…
We need to pass a budget resolution. It is one of the few responsibilities of this Committee.
