I point out that the prior speaker voted in April for the exact language that she was railing against, for due process. The only thing that has changed for the majority of the people changing their votes over there is Donald Trump was…

One of the speakers on the other side who had previously voted in support of this bill said last week, when explaining his new opposition: ``With Trump's election, the conditions have changed.'' We just heard that from the prior speaker…

We just heard that a sixth grader could see that this is unconstitutional. However, a Harvard lawyer thought this was okay in April when it passed with only 11 dissenting votes, so to me, I believe that argument does not hold water…

Only in Washington is a bill that passed 382-11 considered deeply controversial, a bill that says that U.S. tax dollars should not subsidize terrorist organizations. The other side views that as deeply controversial. That is the statement…

I will point out the reason why this Chamber cannot take up the bill that was passed by the United States Senate to make sure there are not penalties for hostages is because of a thing called the U.S. Constitution. It is called Article I…

I will say it once again: It is pretty clear this bill gives the IRS the authority it needs to revoke tax-exempt status for organizations that provide material support for terrorism. That is it. The tax-exempt organizations that aren't…

I cannot understand what is controversial about an organization losing their tax-exempt status if they are funding terrorism. I don't see how that is controversial, but apparently, the prior speakers believe it is controversial. It is…

May the record also reflect the truth and the facts. The IRS Commissioner, Mr. Werfel, was appointed by President Biden, not President Trump. Let's get the facts straight. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the…

This legislation was approved by the Ways and Means Committee with overwhelming bipartisan support, and I hope we can show that same level of support here today. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Edwards)…

Wow, Mr. Speaker. This is about as swampy as you can get in Washington. This bill passed out of the House Ways and Means Committee 39-1, including the gentlewoman from California who voted ``yes.'' The only difference between when it…

Big banks received three times more benefits from these tax credits than any other industry. Madam Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Tenney).

The Biden-Harris administration... have proposed $7 trillion in tax hikes.

The vote that we took on TCJA may be the most impactful vote that I have taken.

I think it is important to note that TCJA is a very successful tool for growing our economy.

I happen to be from Nebraska, where we have a few biofuels and other similar industries in Nebraska.

We need to be competitive with our adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party.

None of this would have happened without Vice President Harris' tie-breaking vote in the Senate.

This very day actually marks the 2-year anniversary of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act becoming law.

None of my Democrat colleagues are here to answer that question.

We are here to sit down and have a conversation with working people about the need to protect Americans from a $4.6 trillion in tax hikes that will happen the end of next year.

I do want to take a minute just to express my disappointment that not one of our Democrat colleagues have joined us here today on the committee.

I have got a couple of bills, the Helping Hands for Families Act, which I am sponsoring with Congressmember Carol Miller.

I would argue we haven't even done anything, in many respects, since many of the children currently in foster care were even born.

This could very well be one of the most important hearings we have for a long time.

There has got to be a solution that it never happens again. And the solution, to me, is losing your tax-exempt status.
