I want to thank you, Chairman and Ranking Member, for the opportunity to testify in support of my Water Resources Development Act priorities.

It has been over 13 years since the Supreme Court unleashed a tidal wave of dark money into politics through the disastrous--or what I consider--a Citizens United decision.

I hope my colleagues across the aisle will support finally allowing the IRS to do its job.

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS finally has some resources to go after political malfeasance.

To toss out a century of campaign finance law and open up the floodgates to unlimited dark money in our elections.

For a decade the other side hailed the Supreme Court's hideous decision. I think it is a hideous decision, you don't.

I would like to change the Supreme Court's mind about that, because I know it has opened up for everybody.

As you know, in 2020 the Trump Administration issued a ruling ending the longstanding requirement for tax-exempt organizations to disclose substantial donor names and addresses to the IRS.

Let us be clear about the greatest danger to our Nation's economic health, because that is where we are heading.

Without the Bush tax cuts and the Trump tax cuts, revenues today would be on track to keep up with spending indefinitely.

Over and over, we have seen our economy held hostage over a budget shortfall the other side caused in the first place.

We have only escaped fiscal calamity by the skin of our teeth, listening to all of our great speakers here today.

Fully extending tax scams would add another $3.5 trillion to the deficit.

The deficit fell by a record $1.7 trillion during President Biden's first 2 years.

Our Treasury debt has long been the world's safest asset, historically, but default extortion has lowered credit ratings.

Rather than continuing to push extreme proposals, we need to come together to start governing.

This is funding Democrats passed to close the tax gap and reduce the deficit.

I stand with the New Jersey delegation. I rise today to mark the passing of my predecessor and my friend, Congressman Herb Klein. Herb only served one term in this institution, but he was a giant for north Jersey. Our communities are…

Mr. Chairman, like many states, New Jersey has seen a reduction in state and county employees and contractors administering its child support program.

Thank you. And it is vital that we provide our nation's child support programs with adequate resources.

We are talking about real people and real families.

I fight every year for more funding to protect non-profits.

We are here, as I see it--and correct my perception--but we here, to find a way to bring people together.

The barbaric acts and attacks by Hamas are heartbreaking, stomach-turning, sheer evil.

I have sounded the alarm on domestic extremism for 15 years and gotten mostly the deaf ear from both Republicans and Democrats.
