I am particularly troubled that the Administration continues to implement policies across numerous agencies, regardless of whether it is legislated authority or not.

I continue to have concerns that, despite the claims from Secretary Yellen and others, that the Administration cannot and will not fulfill its promise about audit targets and also meet its claims about increased revenue.

I have always said the world is safer and more prosperous when America leads.

The United States must lead at the WTO. We cannot afford to cede the playing field of setting and enforcing global trade rules to China.

I requested the United States International Trade Commission conduct an investigation into the global competitiveness of the U.S. rice industry.

After backing a waiver to the TRIPS Agreement to give away U.S. intellectual property on COVID-19 vaccines, the administration is now considering expanding that waiver to cover diagnostics and therapeutics as well.

We need an ambitious negotiating agenda, and that is not going to happen among 164, soon to be 166, members.

America has to lead in strengthening and reforming the WTO to address the challenges of the 21st century.

The United States needs to express leadership, we need to have an agenda fit for the 21st century...

The need for America and American leadership is no greater at this moment than I can think of.

Obviously, these issues aren't easy. And certainly, Dr. Schleicher, thank you for your opening and sharing very real impacts on patients.

This issue is at the very, very top of our list of priorities.

I represent over 50 critical access hospitals, over 100 rural health clinics.

Democrats and the Biden administration are purposely targeting and misrepresenting pregnancy centers in their proposed rule and seeking to intimidate States that fund them. Pregnancy resource centers play a vital role to both mothers and…

Tomorrow, tens of thousands of pro-life Americans will converge on The National Mall for the March for Life on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion in all 50 States. Today's legislation…

Tomorrow, we will all celebrate life and support pregnant and parenting women and families. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Last year, Missouri provided $6.3 million in TANF funding to pregnancy resource centers. This funding is provided for mothers and fathers for nonmedical support, such as baby clothes and formula, and support for families until the age of…

At least four other States-- Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania--provide TANF funding to pregnancy resource centers, which meets the TANF purposes of assisting needy families and reducing dependence on government. As Missouri's…

Thanks to the evidence released by the whistleblowers, the DOJ indicted Hunter Biden on nine tax charges, including three felonies. Everything the whistleblowers told us about the Hunter Biden tax case has been proven right. I am convinced…

President Biden has hidden from the American people his knowledge of and role in his family's overseas business dealings. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence, showing his knowledge and involvement, President Biden still refuses to…

The Lower Costs, More Transparency Act empowers patients and will lower healthcare costs for millions of Americans. This bipartisan bill has been a collaborative effort, and I thank my colleagues on the Energy and Commerce Committee and…
