America's public servants deserve to be treated fairly by Social Security, and all of America's seniors deserve access to the benefits that they have earned and to live out their retirement with dignity. These truths are not mutually…

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…

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…

There is a reason this bill passed the Ways and Means Committee 42-0. There is no denying this is the right thing to do. I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes,'' and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. 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)…

Our foster care system is a lifeline for thousands of children who have been displaced, abused, and neglected. Many of these children are at risk for going missing or running away from their foster homes, which puts them at risk of…

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…

I could not disagree more with the prior comments. In fact, the best way to define my opinion of the prior comments would be to justify something we use where I come from. I come from the Ozark Hills, and we refer to that as hogwash…

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).

I thank Mr. Kelly for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join my colleagues in remembering the life and legacy of our good friend, our colleague, Mr. Pascrell. I had the honor of working with Bill over the years as a member of the…

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Columbia won't. And the professors you listed in your opening statement, that is extremely, extremely disturbing.

we have a failure by tax-exempt universities to provide and enforce discipline on students that are found to violate the basic rules of their institution.
