Will you ensure the IRS uses Inflation Reduction Act funds to stop disproportionately auditing EITC recipients, and focus on auditing other folks in the system, as well?

I am thrilled that we have a new IRS commissioner to effectively implement the Inflation Reduction Act to close the tax gap and rebuild a fair tax enforcement.

I have never met a cabinet member that made a mistake. I say that with due respect.

Our plan kept people alive, one of the most successful laws ever enacted.

I think Congress acted decisively and in a bipartisan way in the face of an historic crisis to keep America safe.

I was the first member who advocated for reviewing and releasing Donald Trump's tax returns. I've been on this quest for nearly 6 years. I applaud Chairman Neal for fighting until the very end. This was not about 1 man. The law was always…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Madam Speaker, the American people put Democrats in charge to raise our Nation from its knees--unless we have short memories. We are putting people over powerful interests. We are rebuilding our economy…

Clarence Thomas cannot possibly be seen as a neutral actor, but instead as a corrupt jurist who has poisoned the High Court. Clarence Thomas should have dignity and final respect for our democracy and resign.

This pandemic has been a grave hardship for our first responders. Men and women in blue have risked their lives every day. Last year was the deadliest ever for law enforcement. During National Police Week, we honor these heroes who have…

As an original member of the Homeland Security Committee, I had the pleasure of serving with Chairman Thompson. It has only been lately that we understand what he means to this country. Together, we worked to establish and grow the…

To Mr. Meeks and Mr. Wilson: Thank you for your hard work on this legislation. Now, the Lord works in strange ways. As you get older, you can list the ways. The country is closer together in a most weird way for a common objective. We…

The Affordable Insulin Now Act will cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 a month--not a miracle by any stretch of the imagination. And anyone who supports legislation in this order and others where we address other diseases obviously, we…

When insulin was discovered, Warren Harding was the President and the New York Giants won the World Series, yet there was no television to watch the New York Giants. Insulin costs are a national disgrace. For a drug discovered over 100…

I thank the chairwoman for bringing this forward. It is going to affect the weaknesses that we have found in our trade deal. So I rise in support of the America COMPETES Act. This includes my bipartisan, bicameral bill, the National…

I congratulate the gentleman on his efforts in this legislation. Mr. Speaker, last November the American people put Democrats in charge to raise this Nation from its knees, to improve the lives of working men and women, to confront…

The past 18 months have been difficult for our communities, difficult for all Americans. It has been especially unbearable for our men and women in uniform. These brave individuals have protected us at our lowest moment. The least we can…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. It is good to have something bipartisan on this floor, I will tell you that. Mr. Speaker, during this devastating pandemic, our Nation's first responders have stood heroically on the very front lines…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise for truth and accountability. That is why we are here. We are dealing with common criminals. You see a guy running down the street in this city with a television on his back strapped…

Refusing a subpoena is obstructing justice. This is a vote of conscience. Do you agree with the rioting terrorists or our democracy? Are we a country of laws or a country of men? We must hold all involved accountable; this includes those…

I support Israel's right to defend herself. I have always voted for defensive technology, which we should invest in. The Congress first supported Iron Dome funding a decade ago after a request made by President Obama. In 2014 I visited…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of the truth and justice. Twenty years ago, we suffered the worst external terrorist attack in our modern history. But the gravest attack ever on American democracy came…

I thank Mr. Suozzi for yielding. When talking about the SALT deduction, we are not griping about something that came about yesterday. The SALT deduction goes back to the Civil War. We are talking about 150 years of history when President…

Yes. And many of the first responders came out and supported this bill last week.

And they could build the hospitals and the schools and the roads. Where were they going to get the money if the Federal Government took all of the money to fight the war?

On June 23, 2021, I missed one roll call vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall vote 175--Motion on Ordering the Previous Question on the Rule, H. Res. 486. members recorded pursuant to house resolution 8, 117th…
