There is no substitute for conducting the business of the American people in person. On Monday, 80 members of the majority voted ``present'' by proxy. This is one of the most asinine things that has become commonplace under one-party rule…
Against science and common sense, many traditional government schools continue to shut children out of the classroom. The Biden administration has repeatedly put the political agenda of teachers' unions above the needs of children…
The attempt to stifle free speech at colleges and universities continues to be a major problem. Too many universities are more committed to liberal indoctrination than to providing an education. One of the primary reasons students attend…
I thank my colleague from Oklahoma for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question so we can bring up H.R. 6056, the Parents Bill of Rights Act. There has been a push to silence parents around the country…
Middle- and lower-income households across the country are getting the short end of the stick under the so-called Build Back Better Act. For months, House Republicans have exposed radical provisions in this bill that do nothing to help the…
I stand in strong opposition to the Department of Labor's attack on religious freedom. The Department of Labor's proposal to rescind protections for religious Federal contractors demonstrates how hostile the Biden administration is to the…
So the taxpayers are paying for whatever they are it seems to me, so we've got rampant fraud and rampant misuse of funds, and it's always the taxpayers who are paying for it.
I'd do away with this program. I'm like Mr. Good, I would do completely away with it, and I'll do everything in my power to do so.
AmeriCorps has failed yet another audit. After holding numerous oversight hearings on the fiscal State of AmeriCorps it's time to admit that this is a failed experiment.
President Biden's energy crisis is the Christmas gift that nobody asked for. The national average for a gallon of gas reached $3.39 as of last Friday, the most Americans have paid at the pump since the Obama-Biden administration. Home…
if there is any plan to try to keep this program alive, ... you would at least want the money to go where it's supposed to go.
I frankly don't think the benefits are there for the amount of taxpayer dollars that we put into this program.
I don't think we have a real sense of the scope of the fraud and abuse and the illegal activity.
So it seems to me there is a systemic problem here that's an abuse of taxpayer dollars all the way around.
I'm going to be delving into this a lot more on individual basis with both of you.
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Democrats' spending bill is not about building back better, it is about building up a bureaucracy that will expand the reach of the Federal Government, especially over education. This bill will impose…
I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him for leading this Special Order tonight. Madam Speaker, the Biden administration's unprecedented OSHA vaccine mandate is a massive power grab. This national diktat was recently found…
Our colleagues on the other side of the aisle who believe that the Build Back Better Act is going to make this country better are trying to sell snake oil to the American people. There is an old saying, Mr. Speaker: You can fool some of…
As if things could not get any worse under this administration, we found out last week that inflation is now at a 30-year high. This comes as Americans are worried about the cost of Thanksgiving dinner, the cost of putting gas in their…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 224, nays 200, not voting 7, as…
What is happening at the National Labor Relations Board, NLRB, is so rotten it stinks. Under Democrat leadership, the NLRB has a history of bias and overreach. President Biden fired the Senate-confirmed general counsel on his first day in…
You need action. So when you have programs that aren't working, again, it doesn't do any good to just review them and say they're not working.
This Thanksgiving will be the most expensive on record, and Americans have the Biden administration to thank. Put yourself in the shoes of hardworking families across America. Every morning they wake up and leave for work. The moment their…
The American people are wondering: What is the Biden administration thinking? Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Department of Justice is negotiating a settlement that would give $450,000 per person to illegal immigrants…
